Birthday Boy Senior...

Someone else we know and love had a birthday this month...

We had to really pry Boone's little fingers off of Daddy-o's presents because after Christmas and a birthday of his own, Boone was certain that all the gifts were in honor of him.

RyGar laughed and said, 

"I would only share my birthday month with a little stud like you - but I'm not sharing my presents."

I present to you my forty-two year old, going on five.  :)

The boys had a good time choosing the things they just knew their papa bear would love.

Sometimes random - sometimes right on.

RyGar surprised us all by asking for a carrot cake on the anniversary of the day he was born, which we all incessantly teased him about.  

"Geez, Grandpa, do you really want a homemade carrot cake?"

After he blew out the candles and we all gave it a taste - 

We didn't think he was such a crazy old fart after all.  :)

P.S. You aren't old unless you don't look at your birthday cake like Ryno.

There is no question where Boone got it from.  

See the prior blog post entitled "Birthday Boy Junior" LOL

Happy Birthday to our favorite guy.

We love you long time and we are so grateful to you for the way in which you 

lead and provide for our family.

XO Always.

Birthday Boy Junior...

You're looking at the giddy face of the world's cutest 3-year-old Birthday Boy. 

Booner is making a lot of changes in this, his 3rd year of life, including:

Potty Training

Sleeping in a Big Boy Bed

AND

Eventually, (but not yet),

Giving up those Sippy Cups.

He is also mastering the art of showing his age with his fingers.

Easier said than done.  :)

Boone is full of fun, sweetness, mischief and love for his mama.  He is fearless and does ANYTHING the big boys do without hesitation.  He makes us all laugh since he thinks he is always in the know, and lately he melts all of us when he says, "Bye, my boys!" or "Where my boys at?"

Boone Diggety loves:

"Hephelants", Tigers and Gorillas,

"Great Fruit" which he eats every morning, and

He loves the movie, "Tumanji", which only a three-year-old caboose

in an all boy family would even know about.  Whoops.

He also loves riding his bike and scooter, making friends wherever he goes , and being my little wingman every dang day.

Boone was VERY specific about his birthday cake.  He wanted a "LELLOW CAKE WITH BWU SPRINKLES" and he was thrilled beyond imagination when he got exactly what he was wishing for.

Happiest 3rd Birthday to one of our best "Undie Wearing" surprises ever.

Boone Raef Gardner - you slay us errrr' darn day in the best possible way.

XO Always.
