Today was Gage's 4th Birthday. He has been so excited for the past few weeks! He knew exactly what he wanted and would tell me every day. We started off the morning with green mickey mouse pancakes. Then we picked Jacob up and headed to McDonald's for lunch followed by a visit to the park and Dollar Tree. Then we came home to get ready for the party!
Gage wanted a Bolt Birthday but I just haven't had time to get back over to Show Low so we improvised. Black, yellow and red were our colors and Katlyn and Carter made a Bolt sign to hang up. We had pizza and soda for dinner and then had to wait patiently for Dad to get home from work so we could blow out the candles, eat cake and ice cream and don't forget the presents.
The big reveal! This picture is of him opening his scooter. I think he liked it don't you! He was so cute. He told us this was the best Birthday ever.
We are singing to him in this picture and I love the look on his face. He loves it!!!!! He didn't even eat cake and ice cream. He said he just wanted to play with his gifts. We all love Gage so much and here are a few reasons why.....
*He is ALWAYS talking! Big Story Teller.
*He loves his baby brother and always wants to play with him.
*He can't go to bed at night without Carter in his bed too. They sit and talk forever before they fall asleep.
*He will go anywhere with Katlyn. She doesn't like to go out in the garage, and hates going anywhere in the house after dark and he will go with her no matter what.
*He's always ready to go for a ride with dad. He drove all the way to Wilcox and back one day with his Dad and Papa and loved every minute of it.
*He makes us laugh! His latest giggle maker. He informed us that he changed his name to Rex. He had a sub in primary on Sunday and he came home with a color page with the name Rex at the top.
*When I tell him to be patient he says, "mom I hate being impatient."
*He is very forgiving.
*He always asks if he can be helpful.
*He has named all our cars. The truck is Smokey. The car is Peanut Butter. (You have to hear him say that one it's so cute!) The Taho is Grey Grey. Such an imagination!
*He throws some good fits. Usually we can look back on them and laugh.
*I LOVE that he is so open and loud and fun at home, but if a stranger looks at him or talks to him he shys away like crazy. It's kinda sweet.
*His voice.
*His big brown eyes.
*His laugh.
We LOVE you Gage. And don't ever forget it! ~Happy Birthday~

Happy birthday big guy! Love that he names himself Rex - he has the best stories!!!
Happy Birthday Gage!! Jacob had such a great time and always loves playing with you. We think you are pretty cool and always make us smile!
Happy Birthday to our special Gage. Sorry we didn't get a hold of you when we called yesterday. One thing we would add to the list is that he loves to play trains with Grandpa George. Even when George tells me that he is not going to get them out, all Gage has to do is ask and out they come. He is just to hard to say no to. We sure do love our Gago. Grandma Colleen

Your kids are so adorable! I can't believe how big they are getting. Did Megan tell you her address was the orange house on center street? That is what she tells everyone, and everyone always knows exactly which house she is talking about.
