I truly couldn't believe my sweet baby boy was about to turn four and now in a few short months he will be five. It seems like yesterday we were living in Seattle with a brand new baby boy. Time is just flying right by me and I want it to slow down. I want to cherish this time with my babies and soak up every minute.
We had Brooks' 4th Birthday party at the Houston Children's Museum. It is the coolest place and I'm sad to say that we haven't been back since the party. His baby brother was born one month later and we have just come out of hibernation!! We definitely will go back soon.
Brooks wanted the theme to be Spiderman & Batman. I took the easy route with party planning this year since I was about to pop and waddling around. Ordered two cupcake cakes from Kroger, picked up a few balloons, made a cute sign, brought Batman & Spiderman toys from home to decorate the tables, and called it good.

| Cupcake cakes...this picky & attention to detail minded Mommy cringed when I picked them up...I could have done a better job had I made them at home. 5th birthday will be much cuter!! |

Dinner after the party at Double Dave's pizza, one of his favorite places to go
I was so scattered the day of his party(read below) that I took the wrong camera lens to the party. I didn't get any good pics of the rest of our family that came to the party. We had a great turn out and Brooks had a blast!!

Sadly, the morning of Brooks' birthday party, my dad called to tell us that my sweet Papa had passed away. We put on a happy face and attempted to make the day super special for our Brooksie. My parents were not able to be there for the party, so we celebrated a few days later at their house.

The years go by so fast, don't they! Such a special celebration for B.
I'm not ready for my little Brooksie Bear to turn 5! I'll never forget when I was helping look after him in Aug. and getting him ready for bed. He took showers (mostly by himself) and one night I looked over at him brushing his teeth and he seemed so BIG. My eye's filled up with tears as the past 4 years just flew by in my mind!
