As soon as Kaleb hits the door after school, the two are inseparable. We all think we're his best friend! 
Since he is #2, I sometimes feel like he gets lost in the middle, and that I haven't done as much for his as I did for Kaleb at the same age.
We always do something special as a family with him on his birthday, but I felt like it was time to step it up a notch.
We invited his little buds and their families to join us for a swim party.
It was 104 on party day, but the water was perfect. We went to our fav. local pool that has a large zero entry area with water splashing features, and a slide.
He wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, big cheetos, HUG fruit drinks, and had fun picking out his goodie bags full of little boy stuff.
I think he loved every minute of it, and he was just so stinkin' cute!
For D's actual birthday, Ben took the day off and thoroughly spoiled him. They drove G to school, then went out to breakfast, Toys R Us, McD's & then the movies. They went to Kung Fu Panda 2 and had the entire theater to themselves. I can only imagine the goofiness! They had so much fun, D fell asleep within minutes on the drive home.
That night we had his favorite dinner: grilled chicken on the bone, corn on the cob, and chips.
We had more double chocolate cupcakes dipped in mini m&m's, opened his gifts, and then the boys played his new Wii game, Mario Party 8. Dylan was so happy all day, really pleasant to be around, and happy to share his new toys with K & Ruby. It was sweet to see and did my heart good, he's grown up so much this year. He also was convinced he wasn't 4 until he blew his candles out. We talked about his birth and looked through baby pictures. So cute!
Here's a few of my favorite Dylanisms.
D: Are you thinking what I'm thinking? (with the cutest twinkle in his eyes)
I'm normally thinking I need a hug (he gives the BEST squeezes at random times), he's normally thinking we need to play wii together.
D: Is it time for Ruby's nap? I love Ruby's nap time! (This is our one on one time)
D: Actually.... (he throws this word into conversations regularly)
Me: What's your favorite part of the day?
D: The whole day!
Me: You're my sweet, sweet boy!
D: You're my sweet, sweet Mama!
Me: I love you to the moon & back.
D: I love you to heaven & back.
This kid melts my heart. Happy Birthday, Dylan Michael Murdock!
