Brady's 4th Birthday Party

We decided to have a dinosaur theme for Brady's 4th birthday party. When Brady and I were looking at different cakes on the internet, he saw one with a volcano on it and said that was what he wanted. I did my best to copy the picture. It was very fun to make (it is actually 2 cakes, one was baked in a glass cooking bowl). The rocks were crushed cookies and hard candies.


We were going to just have a family party but we ended up inviting some families from our neighborhood. Brady wanted a pinata but we couldn't find a dinosaur one at the store. A strawberry was close enough (who really cares what it looks like anyway, its the candy inside that counts)!

The big gift from us was a bike. His first bike! You can see that Jarin was a little unsure about his big brother getting one and not him. We can't get two of everything! Brady rides his bike almost every day since getting it. He rides it in circles on our back patio. Jarin rides the 4 wheeler so he can have something to ride too!

The party was a simple pizza dinner, pinata and visiting with friends and family! It was fun to host it in our back yard. We've never had that many people over at once but the back yard had plenty of room.

Brady's 1st Trip to the Dentist

I can't believe Brady is old enough to go to the dentist! A day before he turned 4, he had his first cleaning. His dental hygienist, Lisa, was very patient with him. Brady enjoyed the attention and didn't mind getting his teeth cleaned at all. Our little guy is growing up!
