We've made some major changes to our backyard and we had a great time with a visit from Monki and Bompa, but first I must address the fact that we now have a 4 year old.  How does this happen so quickly?

4 years ago I was in the hospital with my mom and mother in law texting all the info to Caleb who was deployed in Japan.  He's turned into quite the little man.  He makes us laugh.  He's such a good big brother.  And he's pretty darn smart too :)

Monki and Bompa got to come spend his birthday with him.  His birthday fell on a Monday this year so Caleb and I decided we move it up a day and let him think his birthday was Sunday so that Caleb would be off the whole day to celebrate with him too.

Caleb woke up early with him and brought him to the store to pick out a birthday breakfast (he chose a gummy worm donut of course.)  Then he got to open his present from grandparents and some little ones from us.  We ordered him a really really big present that hasn't quite arrived yet. We went to church and then let him pick where he wanted to go for lunch.  He picked "the chili pepper place" also known as Chili's.  We then spent some time at the park and decided to spend the rest of the evening at home.  Caleb grilled and we got to enjoy our new fire pit (more on that in some later landscaping posts,) and catch lots of fireflies.  I think he really enjoyed his day.

We're throwing a Spiderman birthday party for him this coming Saturday.

 Excuse the order of the pictures.  I cannot get them to cooperate.

Bompa and Monki got him a sandbox.  He loves it!
