Unfortunately Brian was out of town for a conference in California for Wes' birthday, but we didn't hold back on the celebrations! We made sure he felt like a million bucks on his big day!
This boy is all about monster trucks lately so we made sure he was surrounded by them every which way!
We didn't have to wait for dad to be around to open presents, so I let him dig in before Thad headed to school.
I love watching them be excited for each other. Thad is so sweet for being so interested!
We got Thad off to school and pretty much let this boy rule the roost and got lots of cute pictures of him, of course.
We FaceTimed with daddy so he could chat with the birthday boy before his busy day started. Wes was very excited to tell him all about his gifts and even opened a couple with him on FaceTime.
Before we knew it, it was time to head to the store to pick up his cake and snack of choice for his birthday play date with Evan!
We never to the car cart. Except for birthdays.
Wes LOVED it!
After the store we picked Evan up and they had an awesome four hour play date! Wes is just a month older than him and they get along great. It makes my life easier when Evan comes over so he is a frequent visitor!
Snack of choice:
Wes has loved Play-doh recently so we got him tools and lots of colors. Black is his current favorite color, so he infected all the others with it the very first day. I had to let. It. Go. It is just Play-doh.
H-E-B did an awesome job with his cake and it was easy to just put our own vehicles on top.
My wish was that I could know his wish, but I have a feeling this little boy is going to make whatever wish he did make come true!
After lunch and cake we took this guy home-
and enjoyed getting some packages in the mail!
Did I tell you he likes monster trucks?
These are from a show called "Mater's Tall Tales" on Netflix and getting them from Grandma Teresa reminded him that the show existed. Over the next couple days he watched that 33 minute show like 30 times. I wish I was exaggerating (because who lets their kid watch that much TV?), but I'm not. He loved it!
Thad got home from school and enjoyed some Play-doh time-
And then we bundled up and headed to McDonald's for a gourmet dinner on a Friday night.
This play place was really big and a lot of fun!
(It would have been more fun if Wes and Eve hadn't gotten super sick over the next couple days. A mean reminder of why we don't frequent the McD's play place.)

We had to finish the night off with cake and ice cream with siblings, of course! And Wes did not want a repeat of when Eve touched the candle on her own birthday cake.
What a great big brother!
Look how enchanted Eve is by that candle! Good thing she has Wes.
And an extra birthday wish for that perfect four year old of ours!
This boy and that smile keeps things lively around this house and we wouldn't have it any other way!
FOUR Things We Adore About Wes:
4. His red hair. We will never get over it and how perfectly it fits him and his spunky personality!
3. His passion. Wes doesn't just like things, he LOVES them! Whether it's soccer, TV, his brother, cars or monster trucks, he is all in.
2. His snuggles. He still naps everyday and when he wakes up he will come sit with me wherever I am and snuggle right up. If he is the first one up in the morning he will hop right in bed with me and do the same thing. I cannot get enough!
1. Everyone is an old friend. Brian mentioned how he makes everyone feel like an old friend and he hit that nail right on the head! If you are 1 or 101, Wes is your best friend and will make you feel like a million bucks. This aspect of his personality is so magnetic and he just draws people in. It is very entertaining and special to watch!
Happy 4th birthday, Wesley boy, it's going to be a good year!
