Birthday Boy!

Damen was born on July 2 at 10:57am, he has been the joy of our lives ever since. And now my baby turned four. I've been told that I can't call him a baby anymore, but I'm pretty sure I can still call him MY baby, that's acceptable right? Until he graduates from High School or college, or when I die!

This year we traveled to Casper, WY for the fourth of July and stayed with Dustin's parents for the week. We had to leave on Damen's birthday so we had a party for him on June 30th with some of his little buddies and our good friends the Cheesemans, it was lots of fun!

His "train" cake.

Since we were leaving I didn't want a whole cake to try and get rid of so cupcakes came into play. The ones we didn't eat are in the freezer, easy!



All of his loot, with Everett standing by. The boys wasted NO time playing with all the new stuff. Playing with Darrell.

This picture's the BEST! The kids decorated their own cupcakes and this is Chelsea basically just eating the sprinkles, what fun!


On Damen's actual birthday we surprised him with this:


Isn't he cute riding around at 6:45am?(He slept in) He seemed to get the hang of it quick, but since we left that night and it's been SMOLDERING hot since we got back he hasn't got to ride it since that morning!

Later in the day we had to go to the "K" store (KMART) to spend his birthday money from Grandma and Papa S. and this is what he wanted, an Ironman arm thing. He's seen the cartoon, thanks to Netflix, and has envied his cousins Buzz Lightyear arm band things since April. It shoots darts, yay and makes lots of noise!


We had another party in Wyoming, but that's part of the "Vacation" blog that I'll be posting soon, maybe tomorrow even:) So, Happy Birthday to my baby, my how time flies!

So sad we couldn't make it to his party! What a great train cupcake idea, I love it! We'll have to take the kids on a cooler day to Mary Henley to ride their bikes and get them good and tired. Happy belated birthday to Damen!! And yes, they are our babies forever...no matter the age. :)

Happy Birthday, Damen!!! I can't believe you have a 4 year old. I remember going to your 4th birthday party. That wasn't that long ago.

He's such a great little man, Mel. You guys are going a fantastic job! :)
