So Saturday night we had a wedding reception to go to. Potter's little sister got married. When we told you we were going to a wedding all you could talk about was the food. Lol. We figured out fast why you like to go! We were watching them cut the cake and all you kept asking Dad was were is the foos? Hahahaha! That night we stayed at the hyers! Livvy screamed most of the night but you slept good!!
The next day we did lots of birthday party finishing touches. You were so excited for your party! You kept asking if we were going to the "party store". You loved getting things for your party. You also asked everyone we met if they were coming. It's a good thing we invited everyone we knew!!!
Sunday we went to church with grandma Kay Lynn and grandpa Paul. You had a hard time sitting still and being quiet. In the middle of sacrament you opened up the hymn book and started singing "Follow the Prophet" pretty loudly! Lol. I was worried about dropping you off at a primary you didn't know but you were brave!!! I had a harder time leaving then you!
Straight from church we headed off to arctic circle to set up! You had fun seeing all the decorations and running around like a crazy person! ;) Then it was time for your party! Boy did we have a turn out! I always expect less people to show up then actually do! In total we had 60 people there (including us). It was crazy! It felt super chaotic but Grandma Kay Lynn complimented us on how organized it was. Your dad took all the kids on a treasure hunt, we played a trivia game, had cake, and opened presents! You really enjoyed opening presents. One of the presents you opened and immediately said "I want this!" We were like "Bently it's yours!" Finally the moment arrived. It was time to give you your bike. A couple weeks ago we tried to set you on a bike in Walmart and you had a melt down. Ran two aisles away and cried because you were so scared! Now you have to understand you had been asking for a bike for your birthday for weeks. We were so excited to give it to you and had already purchased a bike when you had your meltdown. We were only putting you on a bike to make sure we bought the right size. We were very nervous to give you one. I was scared of your reaction. Would you cry? Or cover your eyes and hide? I brought it out and at first you just sat there. Staring. Then your dad whispered in your ear, "Dont be scared! Be excited because mom and dad are going to help you and you have nothing to be afraid of!" With a little encouragement you climbed on and even smiled a little bit! I was so relieved!
Monday we went to the zoo! It was what you wanted to do for your birthday! I was so worried because the weather forecast was pretty much rain all day. But we chose what I hoped would be the golden couple hours and we headed out. Grandma Kay Lynn came with us and when we arrived it was pretty cold. The first thing we saw was the giraffs. Which are our favorite animal! You saw them and immediately grinned and exclaimed, "giraffes!!! That's my favorite animal!!!!" I thought then and there that this day was worth it even if we froze and it rained on us. Because you were so purely happy in that moment.
Luckily, it didn't rain on us! We actually got some sun! We had a blast! The animals were active! The lions were roaming, the Bears were chasing each other, and you enjoyed every minute of it! Zoo days are my favorite!!!! There is just something magical about the zoo and spending time together there!!!! :D
Tuesday I took pictures for the Wurstens. Their daughter Ella is six or so months younger than you. You guys had a blast playing together! You ran around chasing each other and screaming!! You scream all the time. It was fun to watch you play. You had a lot of time with kids and I loved watching you interact! You definitely are at a social age.
Oh also in Saturday we got to see your new nephew, Bransen. You weren't very interested in the baby but you and Brynnlee had a blast together! :)
Today was a big day. We were finally home and you had a chance to ride your big kid bike. We did it while Olivia was napping so we could focus on you. You were nervous at first but you gained your courage fast. You even caught onto pedaling rather quickly. Granted you still get stuck a lot and move slow but your getting there. During your bath time tonight you asked if you could ride your bike tomorrow. So Inthink that means you like it. :) oh also I may have got misty eyes watching you ride today. You just seemed way too grown up!!!
I love you handsome man! You keep me smiling and I live for your sweet hugs and kisses! I'm going to enjoy every second I get with you!
Love,
Mom
