Happy Birthday Brandon!





























Our funny little man turned 4 yestereday, we had a party for him on Friday with all of his cute little friends. Brandon has got some pretty loyal friends, he is very liked I think because he is so funny and fun to be around. He had a little trouble with some scissors the day before his party and so we had to buzz his head! In the middle of winter-brrr. He was so proud of the job he had done so I didn't get that mad at him. Christmas pics should be pretty good though! We had his party at McDonalds which was great, they did everything from games to cake to prize bags, I just showed up! That should be how all moms do parties, so much less stress. He has never had a friend party so it was really cute to see how excited he was about it all, especially the presents. After each one that he opened he would stare at it with big eyes and say, I lllike this one!
We went up into the deschuttes forest on saturday with some friends and had a great time. Usually there is snow (we go up the weekend after Thanksgiving each year). It was nice and dry and even a little warm later in the day. The kids stayed dry and warm for a change. It was a bummer to not get a tree in the snow I guess but the trip lasted longer and kids were happy longer because they were dry and warm! We ended up getting a tree at a near by vendor because when you cut it down yourself around here it is a total Charlie Brown tree. We have always cut it down since we've lived here but gave into the commercialism of the perfect tree and I love it! Our friends did some really fun stuff, Casey and Julie did a treasure hunt. Heather and Trent brought their 4 wheeler and trailer to take the kids on "hayrides" - let me tell you it was such fun for the kids. My boys would hardly leave when it was time.
Here are some other funny pics and a video of our three funny boys. They are a lot of fun and sometimes a lot of work but mostly fun. There is a picture of Brandon washing dishes which happens to be one of his favorite past times. Ethan is starting to talk a bit, he usually says "I did it!" after much of what he does! He says Uh-oh a lot and after that is mostly mamma and da-dee.

We've had many scissor incidents in our family as well! Looks like a fun day! So glad we'll have a way of keeping in touch better! It's been way too long. We need to catch up sometime. Heidi and I were just talking about that the other night. We loved you here! Looks like you stay super busy too, three is lots of work huh!? Fun though. Take care, and Happy Birthday to your little guy.
