HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAYTON!!

What in the WORLD?!  My little Payton is FOUR!  How did that EVER happen?!  He is such a sweetheart, and I am so grateful to be his Mom.  He has been on a major Batman kick lately (which-ironically, about 2 weeks after it started (now) has almost passed! :)  )  so all he wanted was a Batman party and everything Batman related.  So, who am I to say no to that!?  He invited a few little friends over, and we had a party for the little dude.  It was crazy, but the kids had a great time. 



I made all the kids bat masks for their favors and it was so cute to see all the little bats running around!

He chose to have hot dogs, chips and clementines for his lunch.  Silly guy!

He sure loved to open all of his superhero presents. :)
Payton, we love you so much!  You are such a sweet, loving, handsome, caring boy.  You are always willing to help and are always so happy (except, of course, for when you are not!)  You have endless energy which we all wish that we can take just a little sliver of.  Your cute little brain goes so fast trying to figure everything out around you, and it as been SO fun to see you this past little while in school to just soak it all in!  You are really getting the hang of it!  I love the way that you interact with your siblings. You love them SO much, and are such a great helper.  I'm so glad that you are so excited for this new little baby that is coming into our lives.  You always talk to it, and make sure that I am feeling alright.  You are quick to compliment others- always telling  me when I look pretty and little.  You know just how to make a mom feel great!  I can't believe that you are four.  You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I thank Heavenly Father each day for your presence in my life.  I love you, and Happy Birthday big boy!
That's some seriously shaggy hair he's sporting there!

He received a special package from Grandma B and Grandma Dick!  He absolutely LOVED it, and was so excited to open something up from Germany!  Thanks Mom and Dad for such a special thing!  He felt quite special!
 Somewhere I have a picture of the little birthday celebration that we had at the Smith's, but I can't find it!!!  I'll see what I can rummage up!  He was spoiled by his Grandma and Grandpa Smith too!  Such a lucky loved boy. :)
We had a small party for him on his actual birthday (the day after we returned home from Utah!) and he requested chocolate cupcakes with BLUE frosting!  This is what he had for his snack at school, and all the kids had BLUE faces when their parents picked them up from school.  SO cute.
 Happy Birthday buddy!
