Happy 4th Birthday Liam!

It's so hard to believe I have a big 4 year old boy now!  Liam has grown so much and is such a smart, sweet, fun guy to be around. I'm amazed how much he talks now and asks questions. He loves to play on the learning website starfall.com, his match box cars, Disney Cars movie, Math, numbers and counting and using his calculator. He just started to show some interest in playing sports with Daddy like  T-ball, basketball  & tennis. He loves to swim and play outside.  Enjoys going to Sunday School each Sunday and singing in the children's choir. Loves to watch Woody Woodpecker, Mickey Mouse Club, and Charlie Brown of coarse. We are so blessed to have you in our life Liam. Mommy Daddy and your little bro love you so much and we are so proud of you. We can't wait to celebrate more wonderful birthdays with you celebrating the miracle that you are! Love you!

Some of Liam's favorite phrases:
 "Stop that brother, stop that brother!"
    "143 Mommy I love you."
    "Go to the car store please?"
       "No, no thank you."
        "Where's Daddy?"

Liam's favorite bible verse to recite is 

John 52:16    "Lord you will keep us safe and protect us"

                                                  

This year we did things a bit different. Since Liam's birthday is on August 29th the week school starts and the week before Labor Day weekend, we decided to have two parties. One with family on the 29th and his big party with friends on Sept. 16th. a few weeks after school. This way we would not have to compete with the craziness. I think it worked out much better. We have friends who have their birthdays around the same time also so this let us have more time planning. I think we may keep this tradition.

BIRTHDAY PARTY #1 

Birthday cake #1 at his family party on his actual birthday Wednesday August 29th

Yummy cake from HEB





So sweet Liam blowing out this birthday candle on his cake! So sorry for the sun I should have closed the blinds but I thought his party decorations would fall down oh well still cute! Mommy, Daddy, & baby Blake, & Scamper helped celebrate Liam's special day. We missed Grammy. She was not able to come this year but she will here for Blake's birthday.


BIRTHDAY PARTY #2

Party #2 was held at Spring Loaded Trampoline Park. The kids and parents had so much fun jumping and playing at the trampoline park. We had the party after hours and had the park to ourselves! Perfect place for Liam's party! Especially since it was pouring rain outside we picked the perfect venue. 
Chris is friends with the owners and they went over and beyond 
to be sure Liam had a great party!

Liam's Peanuts Gang theme birthday party invitation! SO CUTE!!!





The inspiration for Liam's birthday cake!



The ADORABLE Charlie Brown birthday cake we had for Liam was a BIG hit! I was so pleased and absolutely loved the outcome. It was a 10 inch round german chocolate cake with 24 vanilla cupcakes decorated in the yellow & black chevron design of Charlie Brown's shirt he wears in the cartoon. I can't believe it only costs us $36 for this cake! Unbelievable!


Liam LOVED his birthday cake!



Yummy Cupcakes!


We served pizza, juice & water, cake & cupcakes  YUMMY!

The party table I did not have much time to set up so I had to rush but still cute. We had peanuts balloons, snoopy cups & plates, snoopy stuffed animals around, Peanuts Theme music playing and other birthday music including a special birthday song just for Liam. 

Birthday Boy Jumping!

I made him pose with his Charlie Brown birthday t-shirt on Too Cute!

Blake even had fun jumping!  
He was so well behaved at his big brother's party.

I wish I took better pictures. I didn't realize how difficult it would be trying to take pictures of our guest jumping but oh well. We got what we could.
I also was so busy as a host making sure everyone was eating
and drinking and having fun!











Liam unfortunately was not able to blow out his birthday candle thanks to the cool fans blowing overhead they blew it out for him LOL! 
All well he still loved being sung to.
