Today, Davis turned four years old. I can’t believe how fast the time flies by! I know everyone says that, but it is so true. It seems like just yesterday the “little” 11-pounder was born. Davis is a silly, loving, fun boy, and he adds such a fun personality to our home. He loves to be silly, and if anyone is sad, he tries his best to cheer them up. He likes to run fast and jump high. He loves to read books, and he also is still a great napper. He brings out a pile of books, his blankets, his dog, and whatever seems to be the toy of the day and lies on the floor while I work (or rest) on the couch next to him during nap time. He is my buddy during the day while Landon is at school, and he asks all day long when it is time for Landon’s bus to come home. Like his older brother, he likes to read, and is getting pretty good at blending three-letter combinations, and we have fun making up rhyming and other silly words. He is nice to others. His longtime friend Eve told her mom last week that she is going to marry Davis because he is so nice to her . . . and he is! He is still a big fan of anything Cars, and now Mario too. His favorite is actually Luigi, whom he calls “Buigi.”
Due to his “Buigi” love, he wanted to have a “Buigi” and Mario birthday party. It was fun to plan. I made Mario or Luigi hats for the boys, and got Princess Peach crowns for the girls, and we had some fun games of Super Mario memory, ghost freeze, Hot Bob-omb (like hot potato), jump on the mushroom, and a pinata shaped like a question mark block.

The hats and the cake (with cute Mario characters Davis got from Grandma Morris for his birthday)
The memory game, Davis jumping on a mushroom (he later said this was his favorite game), and hitting the pinata block (it was on a string, but the string broke so they finished by hitting it on the ground. They actually eventually jumped on it a few times to get it to break open)
Playing the ghost freeze game, where they would dance around crazy, then when the person holding the Mario ghost would turn back around, they all had to freeze.
Singing happy birthday and blowing out the candles

Opening some presents
After the party, we got some pizza and Kelly came over for dinner and to open the family birthday presents.
Opening his presents from Uncle Kelly – bug catcher with a built-in magnifying glass and a fun new game.

Davis then opened a balance bike and a race track from Mom and Dad. Landon was cute and took some money to school from his piggy bank and bought Davis a little bear from his student store. He didn’t tell us he was going to do that, so it was a nice surprise that he bought something fun for his brother. Davis also opened a fun wall racetrack from Grandma and Grandpa Morris later, so we’ll have to get some pictures of that on here tomorrow.
