Happy Birthday to Our Britton Boo!!!

Britton so excited about his KUNGFU PANDA Birthday Cake!


He loves opening presents, with the help of Benson.... OF COURSE!


Britton opening up his FAVORITE present, an INDIANA JONES costume! OH YA!


Grandma Connie found INDIAN PLAYMOBILES ON EBAY!!!!!!!!! YEAH! He was asking for these for weeks. Thanks for finding them mom! HE LOVES THEM!


Britton turned FOUR today! OH MY GOODNESS, he is a kid now and it shows in every way! We actually celebrated his birthday when we were still in Arizona because I wanted him to have one last COUSIN birthday! HE HAD A BLAST having all of his cousins there. He always cracks me up when we sing Happy Birthday to him, he smiles from ear to ear and gets so excited for the end so he can blow out his candles! As soon as everyone is done singing he finally lets out the breath he has been holding during the song and BLOWS his candles out... with a little spit for everyone! YEAH!
Britton was my miracle baby! I thought I had miscarried him at 10 weeks. I went through all the signs and symptoms of a miscarriage. My next door neighbor at the time, who was a delivery nurse, was with me when it happened and even said she believed that is what was happening, but when we went to the hospital THERE HE WAS and the heart beat was as strong as ever.
Britton is ALWAYS on the go and can NEVER sit still. Even at night when he is in his bed Dan and I listen to him sing either the Indiana Jones theme song or the Star Wars theme song until he falls asleep. His mind just never stops. Which may explain why he talks so much in his sleep!
He is my READER for sure, he can spend hours reading his books and making up stories to the books that are newer to him. With that and him loving Indiana Jones, I see him growing up to be a Professor that secretly gets called out for Secret Missions.... At least he MAKES BELIEVE that for now (he is always on a secret mission somewhere with his Indiana Jones costume on)!
Since Britton was born he HATES being away from Benson. Even now it is hard to separate them in anything. Britton has a little bit of a breakdown every time Benson tells him, "I am going to Kindergarten next year with out you." OH GOODNESS! The poor little guy, his heart just breaks.
Britton is my LOVE and CUDDLE bug. He always has been. He ALSO LOVES to eat my hair. YES, EAT MY HAIR! Since the moment he was born he has had an obsession with my hair. When he was younger it was cute how he would come and run his fingers through it when he got upset, or if he got frustrated he would come and chomp it before I knew what he was doing. BUT NOW! We are trying so hard to break him of this habit. You may say my hair is his BLANKIE! AHHHHHHHHHH
He loves to laugh and has the funniest giggle I have ever heard. He thinks repeating the name of King Peter or King Edmond from The Chronicles of Narnia are the funniest thing ever, he will say, "King, King Peter, King, King Edmond," and then roll on the ground from laughter. Lately though it has been, "King, King Honeyboy!" We finally realized this is because he loves our Honey Jar!
BUT OUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BRITTON BOO right now is he loves reading Winnie the Pooh Books, and because Winnie the Pooh says, "OH BOTHER," so does Britton, but because Britton has a bit of a hard time saying it, it comes out as "OH FADEWA!" Cracks us up every time!
As parents we are given the most amazing gift of love, and Britton is so sacred to me. He is my little Boo (My Earthly Angel), he is my Sweet boy and I love him so much. I know that even though me getting pregnant with him was a shock that he was meant to come to earth when he did. I know that I could not have gone through being a single mother with out both of my boys. I do believe he came to make it easier for me. AND HE DID! He continues to make me laugh, cry, tear my hair out (sometimes from him biting it), love, cherish, and understand myself better. I am so thankful for my little boy. Thank you Heavenly Father for allowing me to be his Earthly Mother, I feel greatly honored that you have trusted me with such an amazing and sacred spirit.
WE LOVE YOU BRITTON,
Daddy and Mommy

HAPPY FOURTH BIRTHDAY!
