Rhett turns Four!

Today is Rhett's Birthday.  This year he was well aware that his birthday was coming.  He's been asking "how long till my birthday?" for months!  It started Sunday with a family party and concluded today with treats at preschool, dinner at Love's Sushi and presents with mom and dad.  I can't believe my little boy has been with us for four years now.....what a fun adventure it has been!

Make a wish!

Picking Pumpkins

Train ride through the sunflowers.

Wednesday afternoon we (mommy, daddy, dragon and pterodactyl) took a trip to our local pumpkin patch.  Lombardi's is a special place.  Not only do they have homegrown pumpkins, there's animals, corn and sunflower patches, haystacks and mazes and also old vehicles to climb in.  My boys had a fantastic time.  Can't wait to visit again!

This is the pumpkin I want!

Play date with Alex and Emma!

Rhett was SO excited when we told him and he was going to get to do a bike race!  He was convinced he was going to place 1st because, "the bigger you are, the slower you are.  I'm really little, so I'll be faster than the big kids".
Anyhow, he a had a great time and also did a fantastic job of cheering me on too.  It was a great day for the little man.

My first, "W" of the 2011 season!

Look closely, that's not me!  Gavin did the deed and stood in for me while I was out cooling down on a run.  What a great guy!!

I want one....
