Camden turns 4!

We celebrated Camden's 4th birthday over the weekend.  I must admit that I was really struggling with this moment.  4 is not a baby anymore, he is growing up too fast!  Grant was 4 years old when Camden was born and I felt like he was so big.  Camden seems so little to me still, he can't possibly be as old as Grant was back then! :(  I think it all comes down to knowing that I will not be having another baby, and that he will always be "my baby."  I've never put much into the birth order concept until now, I can really see myself treating Camden very differently then I did both Grant or Shea when they were 4.    All in all, I know my struggles are in vain, because they will all grow up no matter what.  I'm just truly thankful that I can stay home to enjoy these last few years until he is in school too.

 

Here is Camden getting ready to open his presents.  He was so excited for each present.  I was really proud of him for taking time with each gift, and telling the "giver" thank you.

His first and maybe favorite present was this youth size Beaver hat!  He as worn it almost everyday since!

He had lots of help opening his gifts!

He kept telling us that he wanted "knight stuff" for his birthday.  I found this whole get-up at Ross for cheap!  He loved it!

Here he is patiently waiting for everyone to sing him his Birthday song! :)

Finally, I can lick the darn candles!

The next morning after his party, Camden came out of his room fully dressed in his armor.  Justin couldn't resist taking a picture!

Then on Sunday (Camden's actual birthday), Grant had his Mitey-Mite Bowl game.  They were playing a very tough Sheldon Eagle team.  It was a nail biter, but the Jaguars came out with a big victory!  It was a very exciting game, Grant threw a 25 yard touchdown pass to Levi!  He's been wanting to run that play successfully all year long!  Way to go Jags!

Halloween 2008

I can't believe how long it took me to finally post these pictures!

We had a fun Halloween, all the cousins got together and hit the streets.

Here is a picture of Grant and Camden with their Great Grandma.  Rocco is in the back, but your not supposed to be able to see him because he is camouflaged! :)

Out on the street, they ran into some friends and we had to get a cute photo (even though they are wearing Duck costumes, we still like them!) :)

This is Camden's "mean" football face.  He thinks it's very effective because everyone goes "ohh, your so scary."  And he believes them!!

Here is a shot of all the cousins... cute aren't they?!?

Here is my favorite girl dressed up in her "Butterfly Fairy" costume.  It was important that everyone knew she wasn't "just" a fairy, but a Butterfly Fairy! :)
