The perfect Batman cupcake, cake...he loved it.

I can't believe that my baby boy is four years old! It's crazy to think that I had him four years ago. He truly is a blessing in our lives and I feel so thankful that we have been blessed with such a wonderful little boy. He has changed so much in just a year that I wish time would slow down. I just want to wish my little boy the Happiest Birthday he could have and tell him how much mommy and daddy love him and enjoy every minute that we have with him. Here are a few pics of him celebrating his 4th Birthday with his friends at school and then with Rob. me, Colby and my parents for his Birthday dinner at Red Robin. He was so funny at dinner because he was so bashful when they were singing the Happy Birthday song, but you could tell that he loved the attention and couldn't stop smiling. It truly was a wonderful day for him. 

Busy, Busy, Busy...

What can I say...besides the fact that we've been so busy lately I've hardly had a chance to sit down and post an update. I really am going to try and be a little better about that. The last few weeks have been so crazy around our house. 

We had a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of family, good friends, and tasty food. We really enjoyed ourselves this year. It was probably the first year Ethan really got the whole Christmas experience and understood what Santa Claus was all about. He even sat on Santa's lap, which shocked both Rob and I both, he even spoke to Santa. Of course he couldn't wait for Christmas morning to get here and kept asking me every morning if Santa had come, starting two weeks before Christmas. Once he saw what was under the tree and that Santa had been here his eyes lit up and he couldn't believe it. It was so much fun and I can hardly wait for next Christmas when our new addition will be here. 

As for the baby, I'm now a little over 17 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good, considering I was a little sick the first few months, however am very thankful I wasn't as bad as what I was when I was pregnant with Ethan. It's really funny how those memories come back once you start to relive them over and over. We get to find out on Ethan's Birthday (January 26th) if we will get to decorate in pink or blue, either way I feel so blessed to be pregnant and having another little one that I will take whatever god has planned for us. Truly this baby is a blessing and will be such a wonderful addition to our family. Ethan did ask me the other day if he could have a baby sister and then get her a puppy dog... I think he really wants the puppy dog for himself.. We'll see how he reacts to a new baby, I'm hoping that he will be a good big brother and mommy's little helper. I am currently cleaning out the room that will be the baby's room. Once we find out the sex I will be enlisting my brother to come prime and paint. Unfortunately the room is fire engine red right now and has to be primed and then painted. Only one more week though and I won't have to look at that ugly color anymore!
