I'm not 4!

Yesterday was Cameron's 4th birthday! So he wakes up extra early and we have this conversation:
"Good morning Cameron! Happy Birthday!"
"It's not my birthday."
"Yes it is."
"No, I'm not 4 yet."
"You turned 4 in the middle of the night.'
"But, I'm not tall."
He really looked sad and didn't believe he was four since he hadn't grown taller than me. He got over it pretty fast because he saw me working on his cake.
Aunt Vikki bought him cheese pizza for dinner and then when the grandparents got here we had a small family party. I thought about inviting friends from school this year, I just am still not ready for that all out party experience. He got lots and LOTS of Thomas and Friends train track stuff, lots of books, and a new bike! Oh and sort of a dog. I owe you a lot of back-blogs.
So after presents his aunts and him put up his new bridge and train tracks and played with all of his new trains. Then played a round of hockey with brother with the hockey stick pops made him and stayed up extra late watching his new movie Jungle Book with daddy and reading his Thomas book with me. He is so amazing. It's amazing the things they learn and how they grow, how their personalities develop. I have two teenage sisters so he's picked up quite a bit from them but things I would have never thought about. He's great at sarcasm and loves to "just kid" like when he's telling me no and man, this kid can tell you stories! His imaginary friend, Grekk, just had a birthday too. He's older than Cameron, but they still play fine. Anyways, Grekk got a dog, Claude. He's a little puppy unlike our big puppy and he's black and white. Cameron has quite a vivid imagination. He's really grown to appreciate his little brother and they play really REALLY well together now. I'm nervous about the temper (which he undoubtedly learned from me) but so excited about how he's changing and growing more and more into a great little boy!
On to the pictures! The grandad's did the photos this year so thanks guys!


This was not my first year to make a cake but to try and go all out...it's been a few since I've decorated cakes, but Cam liked it none the less.
He was ready to get to the presents part.
Little brother picked out Scarlowey...Needless to say he thought it was for him.
Okay, we have these Winnie the Pooh (Kei's obsession) cups and Cam BEGS for Eeyore.

My dad made this for Cam bc he loves to play hockey. It's nearly been banned as an outside toy-twice.
These are the Thomas tracks from Grandma and Grandpa. I'm glad he likes these rather than those high end train pieces or he probably wouldn't have any.
Brother was keeping it safe until Cam figured out what it was for.Cam got a picture clue. He figured it out pretty fast. I should have made it harder.



We didn' t do party hats so we got him these goofy glasses. I forgot to give them to him at the party though.
Our first game of indoor hockey. Kei did pretty good as Turco. Cam kept saying "I'm Mo, I'm Mo!" Turco is the Stars goalis and Mo is Mike Modano for those of you who aren't up to speed on NHL or all things Dallas.
"SCORE!"
