4 year-old Boston

By -
 Our big boy Boston turned 4!  He was so excited for his birthday this year after celebrating all of the other family member birthdays.  We celebrated his birthday a couple of days early because both sets of grandparents and Aunt Shawnee and Slater were in town for Presley's baby blessing.  One of our family traditions is letting the kids go to Chuck E. Cheese when they turn 4.  Boston talked about this event for weeks.

 

 (I don't know who was more excited . . . Birthday boy Boston or Lily)



 Birthday lunch a Red Robin

 It was cute to see him get bashful when the Red Robin employees sang to him
 Boston wanted to decorate his own birthday cake like Lily did on her birthday.  He was so sweet to let Lily and Crew help him out.

 I had to laugh . . . when he woke up on his birthday morning, he didn't even notice his traditional balloons tied to his bed because he was so excited to see if the leprechaun had come to our house for St. Patrick's day.  (He forgot to leave a trail this year so Lily suggested to Boston that they needed to go back to bed so he could come.  Ha!)

 The leprechaun did not disappoint.  He left some pretty snazzy glasses and a box of green Lucky Charm cereal for them. (Obviously, Presley was not impressed).
 Boston was so excited to take Ninja Turtle cupcakes to his preschool class.  Happy Birthday sweet boy!  As always, we love you so much!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

Lily is Home!

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
