Happy Birthday Gage!

I can't believe Gage is 4.  This kid is so much fun...and he makes me laugh pretty much every single day.  Just the inflection in his voice is funny.  He doesn't necessarily TRY to make us laugh, he's just a jolly kid.  He loves watching movies ~ and will get up super early in the morning to do so.  There have been mornings where I come downstairs at 5am and the boys are up and playing with their toys or watching a movie.  I have to admit ~ on those mornings I don't think it's too funny....and I may or may not yell.

BUT.

I am sure looking back I will remember these times with fondness and I'm sure it'll bring a smile to my face.  Right?

This was a good day.  Gage was so excited to celebrate his birthday.  He talked about it for WEEKS.  Here he is, enjoying some early morning cartoons....

 

Kickin' Back...

And of course...Chocolate Milk for breakfast.

 

I think Grace is a little jealous.

 

 

Blowing out his yogurt candle.

Even a goofball while brushing his teeth.

 

His birthday gift from church.  He loves his new tie pin.

 

I don't think he was too excited for the fried rice and yakisoba for dinner....but he got his special plate, so that's all that matters, right?

Don't mind the piece of cake missing already...our bishop stopped by right before we sang to Gage and we insisted that he take a piece home with him.  Gage was MORE than happy to oblige.

Taking is journey through the birthday spanking machine...

And opening his present.  He was so excited.  As you can see, Morgan and Grace decided he needed "heavy, heavy, hangover" first.  

Gage is one of my only kids that actually enjoys puzzles.  He could do them all day long if he didn't have a younger sister that would try to eat or rip the puzzles.  Sadly, we only get them out while Lilah is napping.

 

Doing one of his puzzles with Grandma.  He LOVED them....and he LOVES Grandma.
