Deacon turns 4!!

On July 30, 2018 Deacon turned 4 years old! He was so excited!! He loves birthdays and having watched all of his siblings already have their birthday for the year, he was ready for his! We decorated his door and he was excited about that and waking up to donuts! He could barely sleep the night before as he kept singing "Happy Birthday to me!" I hope he enjoys birthdays for a long time, they aren't so fun when you're older!

He loves balloons, so he was excited to see his door!

No better way to start the day then with a donut! 

His activity of choice was to go to Chuck-E-Cheese! We were lucky and went right when it opened and got to collect all the tickets from when they turn on the games. There was hardly anyone there, so it was great! 

He had a great time with his siblings.

Ella scored a lot of tickets and they each had fun spending them. 

Deacon took a nap and then my parents and Natalie joined us for a small family party. My dad brought balloons and came up with a game where they threw the balloon down and tried to hit a certain mark when it landed. It occupied them for a while! Afterward we went and had dinner at Chick Fil A.

Deacon requested a sports theme with a baseball cake. As you can tell it was VERY amateur, but he loved it so that is all that matters!

We had cake and presents. Deacon loves Paw Patrol, so we got him a paw patrol cruiser and characters and my parents got him the helicopter. His Oma got him a sliding soccer ball and then he got baseball bases, water guns, and a cobra hot wheels set. He was pretty excited about it all!

He was a happy boy and was excited the day was all about him!  

This is our Deacon. Four years of having him in our family has brought us so much joy! He is always saying he is super strong! Then he adds, when I am bigger, I will be jumping off the diving board. He always compares time to when he is old enough to jump off ;) 

He is a very sweet kid, but very active. He is always on the move. Every store we go to he starts at the front of the aisle and will say, on your mark, get set, go! Then he will proceed to sprint down the aisle. He sure keeps me fit! 

He is a great napper and still sleeps 3-4 hours a day and loves to sleep next to a big husky dog he won at the rodeo named Wolfie. He is always playing with a ball. It doesn't matter if it is a basketball, baseball, football, soccerball, or whatever, he is playing with a ball. He is very naturally talented with dribbling, shooting, and kicking and he is fun to watch. When he occasionally puts the ball down, he is playing with his cars. He loves to race them. 

Deacon has beautiful blue eyes and wherever we go, people comment on how beautiful they are. He loves his big brother Cavin and always wants to be with him. He also is a mini Ragnar and can't wait to spend time with dad! If dad is home, he doesn't need his mama!
His favorite food is macaroni and cheese or nuggets. He only likes vanilla icecream and he loves m&ms. He eats goldfish like they are separate food group!
He has unlimited energy and always wants to be a part of everything. He is getting pretty good at Uno and likes to play. He loves to watch sports and even more to go to sporting events. He still loves James Harden and the Rockets. His favorite color is red and he knows his colors and numbers pretty well. He loves to dress up as a storm trooper. He is a fun kid with a lot of personality and we love him!
