Happy Birthday, William Dean!

Our adorable Godson/nephew turned 4 on June 8th. His birthday party was on the 11th and we also had another birthday party for Mya and Stella's little friend, Payne that same day and time. Will and Payne share a birthday although he is 2 years older. I didn't get any pictures at Payne's party but that little lady is beyond adorable. We were only able to stay about 45 minutes at her party but we are planning to get together with them often because her Mommy is a teacher too so she's off in the summer.

Will's party this year was had a Paul Frank monkey theme. My sister always does such a nice job. We had a delicious Mexican dinner of tacos and chimichangas. Our drinks were served in mason jars with a little name tag tied around the neck. Instead of a cake she made homemade vanilla and chocolate ice cream and then had a bunch of different sundae toppings. It was DELICIOUS! We sang to Will with a candle in his sundae. Sophie was so funny. She was a little beside herself that we weren't singing to her and kept singing "happy birthday Soapy". That little stinker has dodged my camera lately and she hasn't been in many pics I'm noticing. She is always present and being cute as ever so I'm just going to have to do a photo shoot with her soon! LOL Ash and Mya had a little photo shoot themselves. Mya wanted to sit on her lap and was just loving watching Ashley eat her ice cream. She didn't want any herself but she did want the "candy" (M&Ms).

To my wonderful Will ~ I love you so much, buddy! You blow my mind with how intelligent you are. I especially love how loving you are to me lately. Every time I see you, you come running to give me a hug and kiss and tell me you love me. You give the BEST hugs and I dread the day when I don't get them as often. In the first picture below you were giving all the love to me and so Uncle Dub was pouting. He was jealous because he knows just how awesome your hugs are, but being the sweet boy that you are you shared some with him too! You are a wonderful big brother and big cousin. The girls love you so much and I love that they have you to learn from. I hope you know that Uncle Dub and Aunt Casey are always here for you and love you more than you know! Happy Birthday, Sweet Boy!
