Braeden's 4th birthday & visit from Grandma and Grandpa Roberts

My Parents Jim and Gaylene Roberts came in Last week for a visit, to Celebrate Braeden's Birthday. My Mom came in from Arizona on Wednesday and my Dad flew in from Seattle on Thursday.

Anyway, we had a great weekend. Friday we drove to this neat place that's about 40 minutes from here called Pops. Its actually a gas station, and they have like a million different sodas you can try. There is a little restaurant there so we had lunch and tried some different soda's! There is this huge metal Soda bottle that is out front of the gas station, and its neat at night, it lights up and changes color. Anyway that was fun!

Then Saturday was Braeden's 4th Birthday! I really cant believe it, I have a 4 yr. old, its crazy! I decided that since my parents were coming, and they don't get to come often, that we would do without a big party, and kept it just family. It was actually very nice, low key, and Braeden said " Mom this was the best day ever!" It was so cute! We woke up that morning, and Ross had signed Braeden up for this class at Lowe's, they made a wooden car, he loved that. Then we headed for Chucky Cheese for lunch. That was the ONE request made by the Birthday Boy that he has been talking about for months now! So off we went, and we did all have a good time! Braeden and Reece had a blast! Then we came home, opened presents, and then put Reece down.

My Mom and I attempted to make Braedens cake this year. I never have before, its just so much easier when were having a party to order it from somewhere. But this year their was no big party, so I thought I would give it a go! We made a Spider man cake, and it didn't turn out half bad! Nothing professional, but for my first decorative Cake it was pretty good! Braeden loved it, and that's all that mattered! I have to admit though, after putting all that time and effort into it, I really had a hard time cutting into the thing!haha

That night we went to Outback for Dinner which was sooo yummy! And came home and had cake and ice cream and watched old home Videos of when Braeden was a baby, and both the kids loved that, as did I! It was so fun to watch them, and sad of course, making me realize even more how fast time fly's! My Dad flew out Sunday, and my Mom left yesterday! :) Such a bummer when the time comes to an end, it always does, I know that, but it still stinks! I hope I get to see them again soon! I hate living away from family! But it was a great visit! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a wonderful time, you made Braeden's Birthday so special! We love you!
