Levi's Birthday!!!

I can hardly believe that my little boy turned 4 last week. We really isn't so little, I think that he has grown 3 inches in the last few months. I bought him some pants back in November that were a little large on him, and now they are barely long enough. He is still FULL of life and laughs, and growing all the time. He has learned how to spell and write his name, and whenever he sees a letter from his name on TV or on a store he points it out. He is so smart and always wants to learn.

Right now I play the piano in the primary at church. It is so fun to watch Levi with his class and how good he is. He learns the song, which we sing at home. One of the songs is about building an eternal family. Last Sunday we got home from church and he went to use the potty and we could here him singing it through the door. We love him so much and are so glad that he is part of our family. Happy Birthday Sweet Levi!!!!

For Levi's birthday we got him a bunk bed. He loves it and sleeps better than he slept in his toddler bed (YEAH!!). He picked out his own bedding which is Mickey Mouse sheets and a soccer comforter. Both things that he loves. Here are a few pictures of his present.Ruby loves the bunk bed to. She loves when we let her on the top!
I think that one of Levi and Ruby's favorite things is every night Noah reads them books before bed on the top bunk! It actually makes Ruby excited for night nights!I went in to take a picture of Levi the first night he was sleeping in his bed. He was not asleep yet, so I tried to get him to pose for a sleeping picture. He was just so happy that he couldn't wipe the smile off of his face!At first we were going to move Ruby from the crib to the toddler bed and just leave one of the bunk beds empty until Ruby got a little bigger. When we got the bed up, we changed our minds and decided to just stick her in it right away, which will give them more room to play once we move the crib in our room for the baby. She looks so tiny in the bed, but is sleeping well. Last night she even got out of bed and walked in our room on her own to get hugs. It was so nice not to roll out of bed in the middle of the night to go get her. I love this picture because he baby doll looks like a really, kind of creepy baby. Hooray for the bunk bed!When Noah got home from work we headed out for Levi to spend his birthday money from Great Grandma Lyon at the big red store. When he got the money in the morning he knew that he wanted to buy a new Choo Choo train. He had so much fun that day, he didn't have the energy to stay awake in the car. As you can see he held onto his money tightly. Of course he popped right up when we told him we were there.For Levi's birthday he got to pick where to go for dinner. We were expecting another fun filled night at Chuck E. Cheese, but instead we enjoyed a yummy dinner and Chilis. I don't know where Levi got his affection for Chili's. One day we were driving down the road, and he said,

"Look mom, its Chilis!" And ever since then he get excited when he gets to eat his corn dog and play the games on his menu. Thanks Levi for a yummy dinner. This is a rare family picture of us after we ate.After dinner we were going to go to Cold Stone to get some birthday ice cream. I didn't make a cake on his actual birthday because he had one at our family birthday party on Sunday and would have one at his party on Saturday. After dinner all Levi wanted to do was go home and play with his trains. So we just went home, and thanks to Levi's favorite baker Little Debbie we put some candles in a double stacked brownie and sang happy birthday! What a great day!
