The kids get to pick their birthday party theme at their preschool, so Kenton picked having a ball theme. I made baseball cupcakes to take. Nothing fancy, but got the job done:)
Every birthday TJ and I fill up the kid's room with balloons, but this year Sophia helped me. Kenton is a SUPER light sleeper, so I was worried about sneaking them in. Sophia and I had a mission completion! He woke up crying in the morning, so we all went to get him as a family. We flipped on the light he immediately stopped crying, looked at the balloons, got a huge smile, and started jumping on his bed. Literally so high we thought he was going to jump out. He was excited:)!
After school we went to Red Robin of course to use his free kids meal coupon. Nama brought blowers and a little present for him.

| I had to get a picture with my baby! |
I was looking through pictures and last year Kenton was nuzzled into TJ's chest when he was being sung to because he was scared...Today he was staring down at his ice cream and then got the biggest smile on his face while they were singing!!! Pretty dang cute:)
When we got home we sang to him again and had him blow out his candles. He is a pro. All day when we would sing to him, he would pretend to blow after we were done. He was practicing for the big moment and here it is: (After he blew them out he said, "AGAIN!"....so we re-lit about 4 more times!
PRESENT TIME:
Sophia got Kenton a bay blade so he had one to battle with her and TJ and I got him his own T-ball stuff.
He knew just what to do...He immediately swung it, but I think it was heavier then he thought so he let go. Can you tell the camera and I almost got tagged....
Look at that face...seriously I love him! He was equally excited about the gummy bears.
TJ was putting the T together and was not finished as Kenton put the ball up to hit. Good thing TJ has fast reflexes and that it was a soft ball...
Now it's ready...Look at that lefty!
And BBBBAAMMMM! Hit it first try!
I was trying to get a "CHEESE" picture and this is what I got...
And again, this is why we love him. He is so silly, keeps us on our toes, and makes us laugh all the time! I had quite the reflective day like I always do on my kids birthday. Here it goes really quickly: 2 weeks before his due date I got cramps (or so I thought) starting at 3am, which were obviously contractions, called my mom and put in sub plans at 5:30, went to the hospital about 6:30 and was 4 cm dilated, 9am and 2 pushes later and had our baby boy who weighed in at 8lbs 8 oz and 21 1/2 inches long.
