ROAR!!! Colson is FOUR!!!

While shopping for Alyvia's birthday, Colson decided he wanted a dinosaur birthday party and for months he's been saying he wanted his party at dad's warehouse....so that's what we did!

Dino bones and herbivore food

Swamp Juice

Grandma Alice, Aunt Liz and Livi

Colson and his buddy Graycen

Rylie, Cole and Kendall

Finn, Kendall and Dylan

"Dino Dig" for party gifts!

Red Neck entertainment....a dirt pile!

The party turned out great, the warehouse was perfect!  The kids all brought their bikes and had LOTS of room to run and play both inside and outside.  They all loved the giant dirt pile in the back and were all a GIANT mess!  We love our family and friends for celebrating our boy with us.  He had such a great party and got so many great gifts.  Thanks to all!!!

Colson turns 4!

Oh this baby boy, how is he 4 already?

 He was just a peanut when he was born, 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches long.  He took 48 hours to enter the world and he still only does things according to what he wants ;)  He's always been our "fickle pickle" and we couldn't possibly love him anymore!  He is SO FUNNY lately.  When you tell him to hurry and eat, he says "I just takin' my time".  He is really into singing-his favorites are Chainsaw by The Band Perry, This is How We Roll by Florida Georgia Line and a song about God from pre-school (something like "God does his work in the same old way")....he has eclectic taste!

The day before his birthday, Daddy took Cole to The John Deere Pavilion in the Quad Cities.  Colson got to play on the equipment and choose his birthday present, then the boys went to lunch together.  It's become their yearly tradition and they both love it.  

He got his "Big John" and auger wagon for his birthday-he's ready to pick crops!

 That evening we went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate-they sang Happy Birthday to Cole AND he rode the bull...well, he didn't get too into it but he didn't cry or refuse to do it and that's pretty good for our guy!!

Birthday dessert! 

Colson had school on his actual birthday and it was picture day!  He was such a handsome birthday boy!

We took donut holes for his birthday treat :)  He got to open his present from his sisters that evening. 

And after Alyvia's dance class, we sang happy birthday and had a brownies :)  He was a happy boy!

His birthday party was the next weekend :)  Hope you had a great day buddy-we love you!!!
