Four year old Mark

Yesterday my Mark reached the big 0-4. He is loving life as a four year old!

Sometimes its hard to believe how fast my boys are growing up. When they were little I took the attitude that they would always be small. Since I  have learned that this is NOT the case, I really try to love each of these moments. 
 
Last year I started decorating the living room for the boys' birthday. This time, I confess, I had the two older boys do it. They had so much fun and did a great job!  

Mark is a green loving fool! When in doubt, just make it green.

To start the day off, the phone rang and it was for Luke. Mark instantly starts crying and after I console him he tells me that "its my birthday! I want a phone call too!!" And wouldn't you know it...Cory conveniently called him a few minutes later. Thanks hun!

Mark wanted a chocolate, rainbow cake. I am able to create a lot of "artsy" things. Cakes are not one of the mediums that I am comfortable with so doing this cake was a STRETCH for me. As simple as it looks, I am very happy with it. Of course, it was served with a side of green mint chocolate chip ice cream.

My boys have a "thing" for beyblades. They are almost to the point that they might need an intervention since they are playing with them ALL the time. Beyblades are like a top- you pull a cord and they spin around. The last one spinning wins. Well, Mark received TWO of them from his brothers. He is currently in beyblade HEAVEN!

His other birthday wishes were to have german pancakes for breakfast and for me to make pizza.  Both of which were successful!

Happy birthday Mark!  I love how when we play UNO, whenever you play a card you yell "BOUYA!!" I love that you know how to use my ipod better then me. I love your cuddles, kisses and smiles.   Your mamma loves you!
