Happy 4th Birthday!

Superhero costume from Kids Camp- Two 12yr old girls have been putting on this camp for the neighborhood kids - it is so cute!

Today Kai turned 4. He woke up this morning, stood on his tippy toes, and said to us "look how big I am now". He is big. Lance and I have commented a few times to each other recently that he really is getting so grown up. It's exciting but it also makes us a little sad that time is passing so fast.

Kai is a really good boy. At 4 years old he loves all sports, doing puzzles, learning about EVERYTHING, playing with his many buddies, tickling Rori, and playing games. He often busts out with a "Mom or Dad", followed by a long pause, followed by "I Love You". He has a sensitive caring soul which we love.

Today we made a run to Costco in the morning. Kai got a berry smoothy as a special birthday treat. Then, he headed to Kids Camp where the kids sang happy birthday to him over the cookies he brought to share. Tonight just Lance and I took him out for a surprise dinner and games at Fat Cats. We thought he might like the time alone with just Mom and Dad on his big day. To top it all off we also learned that the baby elephant was born at the zoo today. For forever we have been telling Kai that the baby would be born around his birthday so that was exciting. We went to the Zoo on Saturday and told one of the keepers that August 11 would be a good day. :)

Tomorrow night we will have a joint party for Kai and Rori at our house. At 4 Kai didn't even think anything about not opening presents until tomorrow.

It was a nice day!

Happy 4th Birthday Kai!


The breadsticks at the Pizza Factory are tasty.


We stuck to this bowling tonight.


He always goes to this first- no need to put in a token.
