Grant's 4th Birthday!

I can't believe our little boy is 4! So crazy how quickly it goes. People used to tell me to enjoy him because it goes too fast and I didn't believe them...but quickly saw that they were right!

Some people get really sad, some excited to see them growing up and moving on to the next stage and for me, I'm right in the middle. Possibly leaning more toward the sad side. :) I will miss the things that he does now, like snuggling with me during a movie or telling me I'm pretty or his goofiness-he doesn't care who is watching him be silly or just the plain innocence that comes with childhood.

I am excited too though, I promise! ;) I'm excited that he's to the age where he always wants to help. He finds satisfaction in making people happy and doing what's right (even when he really wants to be naughty...he'll think about it and decide it's better to be good). :) He takes such great care of his little brother and watches out for him, which I love! He's so excited to help when Benjamin comes and really understands that there will be a new baby soon. He's smart and loves learning, whether it's in school, church or just little questions he constantly has. He's just a great boy.

He had a great birthday with lots of family and surprises and a really fun party yesterday. We decided to go with a Toy Story theme-one of our family favorites. I got a few ideas from tipjunkie and some random google searching and then came up with rest. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Enjoy!

Birthday boy!

Had Toy Story 3 playing, which worked out as a nice break time for the kiddos since it was warm outside.

Slinky's Hot Dogs

Little Green Alien (saw these on a blog- one of the only things Grant wanted at his party.) :)

Liquid Hydrogen

Lemon Lime Cool-Aid

Mr. Potato Head's Salad

Bullseye's Barbecue Chips

If you remember in Toy Story 2, Al (from Al's Toy Barn) falls asleep eating cheese puffs. Thought this would be fun for the kids.

Woody's Campfire Cupcakes (S'mores)... pretty yummy!

Lotso's Strawberry Applesauce

Buzz Lightyear's Refueling Liquid (Grant helped with these!)
