Briggs turns 4

Briggs turned 4 on June 8. I cannot believe he is 4. Crazy boy. He is still such a cuddly boy that it doesn't feel like he is this old. He still loves to sit on my lap and be with me. He still thinks mom is pretty cool. I love it. I never want this kid to grow up.
Briggs is into Shrek right now. I don't know why. He always asks if he can watch Shrek. He loves the donkey and the dragon. He always says "he's in love with her." In his cute voice it's pretty funny.



He had a couple of his new friends come over and enjoy the day with him. He was so excited for his friends to come over.


Of course the best part of any birthday is the PRESENTS.

Armes drew Shrek for me and I colored it. Then I traced the head. Then the kids colored the photocopied Shrek head however they liked. Then we played pin the head on the Ogre. It was pretty funny. One kid wasn't sure about being blindfolded by this strange women though. Briggs loved this game and this poster stayed up for a week after so we could still play.


You're 4. So it's time for the training wheels to be gone!! Goodbye training wheels. The first try without them did not go so well. So then we put him on Rueger's scooter for 2 weeks because that will teach you balance in a hurry. Then it was time to get back on the bike.

Back on the bike and.....success. He took off and is so good at riding without those training wheel. We have the most amazing paths right out our front door. It is awesome. We spend a lot of nights out on the path!!
