To Infinity and Beyond!


My sweet "Roo" (as we call him) turned 4 last week. This is a monumental age to him. You see, the cut off for most things around here is October 1st...he was born October 10th. His first words after we woke him with a vibrant "Happy Birthday", were "YES!...I can go to basketball camp and play baseball on a team!" Oh my, maybe I want him to stay 3.
Roo is quiet, passionate, mindful, sensitive, and the best cuddler I know. Up until the week before his birthday he said to me that he didn't want to have a party because he had one last year. Sounded good to me...then he asked me 5 days before the big day, "Mom, when are my friends coming to my party?" Seriously??? So, giving in to his big eyes, I called some of his friends over for his favorite things, Toy Story the movie, popcorn, and cake. He had a ball and proved to a momma that always plans 6 months in advance that the best parties are the ones that are thrown together last minute.
I smile when I look at the pictures I captured of these precious 4 year olds. What a carefree age!!!
Roo, I love you to Infinity and Beyond!!!!
Momma Mia (what he affectionately calls me)

They all chose their spots, got comfy, and watched the movie.

How many clowns, I mean kids, can we fit in the tent?



They made a boy band and rocked out...
