Happy 4th birthday Easton! Your smile lights up the room and you have the biggest heart! I pray you stay this sweet for the rest of your life!
When I asked Easton what theme he wanted for his party he shouted "Batman!" I wasn't surprised considering he wears his Batman costume from Halloween almost everyday. I was just planning a small family party but he started asking me if all his friends were coming and my heart sank.  I sent out a last minute invite to his favorites and thankfully they were able to make it.

Love you Easton and I wish you an amazing year being 4!

Halloween 2014. This year Cohen chose a black stealth ninja costume and Easton wanted to be the grey Batman with NO muscles. It was a perfect night to trick or treat, no rain and not very cold. 
Costume parade at preschool.  This is one of my favorite parts about school. All the kids look so cute and are so excited to show off their costumes. They sang a few songs and then went trick or treating through church.


Maris Farms 2014.  Only managed to visit one pumpkin patch this year. Picked up Cohen from the bus stop and spent a good two hours having fun before the rain came!
Fun on the cow train.  Easton still wanted nothing to do with it but Cohen loved it!
The highlight of Maris Farms is the corn.  They spent so much time in here and kept asking to go back and jump in the corn kernels!

First day of preschool. September 10, 2014.  This was a sad day for me. Knowing my last little one was off to start the beginning of his school career.  Didn't seem fair that my time with him being little has gone so fast. I knew he would be in great hands, I adore his preschool and his teachers but that didn't make it any easier.  Easton is my homebody and he didn't want to go to school. He's the boy that wants to be by my side all the time and I love that about him.  The first couple of weeks were hard.  He cried on the car ride there and begged me to take him home.  I had to drop him off with tears in his eyes and mine too once I made it out of his class room. But then one day he decided he LOVED school and ever since it has been wonderful!  He loves his teachers and loves his classmates. Loves learning new songs and bringing home art that we put up on his wall! A few facts about Easton at 3 and half years old.  Weight - 39 lbs, Height - 40 inches, favorite color - blue, favorite food - sausage and pancakes, favorite toy - Batman, favorite sport - summersault, what do you want to be when you grow up? - Batman, best friends - Carson George.

First day of kindergarten. September 5, 2014. Hard to believe this day actually has come! I remember thinking about sending him off to school when he was a baby and it brought tears to my eyes.  Couldn't imagine not being there with him all day to make sure he was safe and having fun.  Little did I know he would be 5 and totally confident and excited to jump on the bus without me and do it all by himself! A few facts about Cohen at 5 yrs old: Weight - 47 lbs, Height - 44 and one half inches,  favorite color - blue, favorite food - spaghetti, favorite toy - guns and swords, favorite sport - golf and basketball, best friend - Cash and Earl, what do you want to be when you grow up? - police officer and fire fighter.
