Z turns 4

My littlest boy just turned 4.  He is growing so fast and yet he's so small.  Zayne loves just about everything, especially if he can do it with his family.  He is my little helper with Whitney and loves to learn.  He has really gotten into making words lately and loves to practice.  Zayne asked for brownies for his birthday treat and chose to go out to eat for his dinner choice.  I believe he had a great day of fun and got everything he was asking for and then some.  Zayne started his birthday with his dad doing some daddy time at trafalga doing mini golf while the other kids and I went out to get him a gift.  His brothers really wanted to give him a gift from them.  It makes a mother proud to hear her kids thinking of their sibling in that way.  It's amazing how fast our little ones grow up.  It's exciting and sad at the same time.  I miss them as babies, but I love to see them grow and see what they strive to become. 
Zayne's expressions in most of these pictures don't even tell you how excited he was for all of his presents and to be the center of attention.  
I also can't get over how happy Whitney is.  She was just as excited to play with the wrapping paper as Zayne was to play with his gifts.  

Outside fun

We have been trying to enjoy the warmer weather and I remembered to take the camera out to get some pictures.  Whitney had her first experience on the swing and loved it. 
Quentin also participated in his first Science Fair and had a lot of fun preparing it and doing the experiment.  He tested a bunch of materials to figure out which one was the best to swim in.  He didn't win anything, but had a lot of fun.  Who wouldn't have fun skipping class for half of the day?
