Happy Birthday Matthew!

Today is Matt's 4th birthday. I can't believe he's 4 already. What's worse is I'll have a 10 y.o. and a 6 y.o. over the next week and 1/2. I'm feeling really old lately. Since all 3 boys have their birthday in March, we usually have one big party. This year we decided to scale things back a bit and celebrate each day separately. We let the boys choose what we'd cook for supper on their day. They were worried we wouldn't have cake since we weren't having a party so we let them choose a dessert too. All 3 of them picked cake so it looks like we'll be eating lots of cake over the next week or two. :o)

Matt picked chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I thought I was getting a shot of him blowing the candles out but I missed. We actually did the cake part last night. Ian made the cake early so there wouldn't be so much to do today. Matt decided he wanted his cake last night. Fine by me! I really needed some chocolate. :o)

Here's Matt with his Monster Trucks--Monster Mutt & Donkey Kong. He's a big fan of Monster Jam.

He's very proud of his WALL*E t-shirt. That is such cute movie. I didn't get a picture of him holding his last gift from us but he also got some puzzle flashcards.

And, of course, the gift from maw maw & paw paw. It's a talking Handy Manny tool box. It's very cute but kinda LOUD. The tools sing and move up and down in the tool box.

I had to throw this one in just for fun. Do you think she likes chocolate? Poor gal gets it honestly. :o)

I really appreciate the blog so I could see my Matty on his birthday. I can't stop crying. Even when I called him this morning, I didn't cry. But seeing him in the pictures & how much he has grown since I last saw him, I miss him so much. All of them. That's that hardest thing about me being here. Give him a big hug & kiss for me. :)

Ok...now I have to go listen to my audio that they made me so I can cry some more!! :P

Charity, yes, 3 bdays in March, and yes, anniversary in June. LOL! We didn't plan it that way. We knew Lauren had to be a girl because she's a June baby.

Megan, you know I have to laugh at you. ;o) I still crack up about that audio.
