Kameron's 4th Birthday

Hard to believe that our sweet boy is already 4 years old.  We are really loving this age.  Kameron is so sweet, helpful, funny, kind, creative and caring.  He loves to help take care of his brothers, he is great at building things like lincoln logs and Legos and is a great eater.  His favorite foods are spicy foods!  He loves Tapatio, Tobasco, Phad Thai, spicy sauce at Subway, salsa, etc.  He says the funniest things and his memory is amazing.  He will randomly bring up things that we did 2 years ago. 
 
This year, instead of doing a traditional birthday party, we did a few different things.  On his actual birthday, him and Travis made chocolate cupcakes and we spent the day playing games and hanging out at home.  That evening, we got pizza and the Howlands came over to play.  Travis and I had set up a little scavenger hunt with clues around the house, leading them to a drawer full of goodies for all the kids.  After he opened his gifts, we let the kids decorate and eat the cupcakes.  It was a really simple, but fun day. 
 


The day after his birthday, Travis' family came up from Yakima, and then we all drove down to meet my parents in Everett.  Wes and Leanna and the girls also came down with us, and we all went out to pizza and had a great time.  We had a huge table next to a fireplace, and my parents had brought birthday presents for Kameron.  After having pizza, we all headed over to a Silvertips hockey game!  Kameron LOVES watching sports, so he was beyond excited to go watch a hockey game.  It was also Kid's Night, so all the kids got free jerseys! 


Since we had bought a group of tickets, we got to put a message up on the reader board for free!  It was really neat seeing Kameron's name up there!  :)



Kameron had a great birthday weekend getting to spend 2 days with so many friends and family, eating cake and pizza, opening presents and watching hockey!  It was really special having both mine and Travis' parents there.  Every time I see pictures of the boys with both sets of grandparents, it just makes me so happy that he gets to grow up having that experience.  My grandparents all lived so far apart and far away, we rarely saw them growing up.  So I was just really happy for him that he gets to have these memories.
