Our sweet Mikey has turned 4!! We just adore little Mikey; he has such a sweet, yet spunky and silly personality. He has been a great blessing to our family, making us laugh when we get too serious, giving cuddles and kisses without reservation, and using his super-hero skills to ward off any imaginary threat to the home-front. I love this picture of Mikey because it captures his essence: happy, playful, rough-and-tumble, sweet little guy.
Mikey was really lucky that his cousins (Morgan and Rachael), their dog (Chief) and parents (Chris and Dee), AND Nana and Opa all got to come out for his birthday celebration. It was a short visit, but we squeezed as much fun out of the time as we knew how. (Thanks so much for making the trek out here guys!) Here's some of the fun we had...opening presents...
...Eating Spiderman cupcakes and ice cream...
...Taking a ride on the "Little Hawkeye Express", and other "fair" rides at a nearby park...
...Getting spoiled by daddy, whose present to Mikey was a homemade tree-swing. Of course, Daddy had to 'jumar' (rock climbing term--look it up!) up to the tree branch to hang the swing, and that was an adventure in and of itself. Lots of fun for the kids (and for the people driving by--'What in the world are they doing?!!')...
(Spence 'jumared' all by himself up to the tree branch too!)
...And for the grand finale of fun-ness, the kids discovered another use for Jaron's half-pipe! Take a look:
(It might be too small to see, but Mikey discovered that being in his "birthday suit" really gave him the advantage!) Who needs a waterpark when all you have to do is build a skate ramp?!

Happy Birthday Mikey. I got a hoot out of this post. Mikey in his "birthday suit" on the ramp is hilarious.
I feel really bad that we didn't call. We were thinking about him!
Okay Em, that is hilarious! You better watch out...you just may find all the neighborhood kids out there in their birthday suits! :) Thanks for the chat last night!
I meant to comment on this in my previous comment... Jaron, that skate ramp totally rocks! You really out did yourself! You always amaze my with the handy things you can do.
Em, thanks for the sweet letter that Mikey sent to the boys this week. They were excited to get mail and find out he liked the bakugan.
