Happy Birthday Connor!

We celebrated Connor's 4 year old birthday today! For months Connor has been reminding us that he wants a "Monster Truck" birthday party so we made plans! Due to the fact his birthday is in the unbearable heat of June we decided to make it a Monster Truck swimming party. Our neighbor so graciously let us borrow her pool for the occasion. The kids hadn't even been in the pool 30 minutes when the showers started. We hung out under the awning for awhile but ultimately we decided to let them swim in the rain, complete with the must have party hats. He had a blast. His best friends came to celebrate with him, it was a small, but very enjoyable party, despite the rain.

So Happy Birthday to my favorite 4 year old in the whole world! Here are four of my favorite things about Connor:

1. He looks just like his Daddy but with lighter hair.

2. He gets a joke and has a great sense of humor.

3. He is smart as a whip and loves to learn.

4. He loves his friends and family and never meets a stranger.

Instead of the traditional birthday cake and ice cream we opted for monster trucks playing in the mud cups. Brownies on the bottom with pudding on top and a dallop of chocolate ice cream!

I added Connor's favorite song to my playlist for this post. He calls it the "Angel song", we always dance together when we hear this song. I thought it was appropriate because we swam in rain and of course I had to kiss my birthday boy in the rain!
