"I'm four so I can do everything now!"

The title of this post is Livy's official slogan for her latest birthday. Apparently, once you're four - there's a whole new world opened up to you and you can do things that were unimaginable while being three. She is so funny! While we were driving home from CO, she was telling Matt and me about all of the things she can do now because she's four - then she stopped and asked us why her hands were still teeny? Apparently, she was expecting ginormous hands once she turned four - we assured her that her hands would get bigger soon. :) Anyhoo, I seriously can't believe Alivia is 4! She's getting so old - it's so weird. Her birthday was quite the extravaganza, as well. Since we spent her birthday weekend at Nana's, this girl got multiple birthday celebrations...


Preschool Celebration

We made cupcakes for her class together. Here she is eating the purple batter. We decorated them with pink frosting so that the purpleness inside would be a surprise. She was pretty stoked for her friends to bite into them!

 Birthday Girl!


 Red Robin Celebration

We went to Red Robin to celebrate Liv and Adam's birthday. When they were sung to - Liv and Adam were so nervous and confused - it was hilarious.


First Birthday Cake
(Yes, this kid got two birthday cakes in one weekend!)

I swear this kid believes he's an actual animal.

Actual Birthday Day!

I'm glad we were at my mom's for her birthday because I have been so tired lately - my mom was able to help me make it special and provide the energy that I am seriously lacking these days.

Here's the outfit she picked out for her big day! I begged her to leave the shorts off but she insisted and it was, after all, her birthday... She kept telling everyone she was wearing all of her favorite colors! Pink Purple and Blue!!!

JumpStreet Fun

My parents took us to this sweet place called JumpStreet with trampolines everywhere and bounce houses. Of course, Liv and Adam spent most of their time on these little outside play things.

 She told me this is her pirate face...

Adam was so nervous at first to climb up the sides so Liv would hold his hand as they went up together. It was so cute! I love when my kids love each other.

Here we are midday - Matt and Adam have both passed out from so much birthday celebration.


 The Lorax

After naps, my dad took Adam for a couple hours while Uncle Ky, Matt, and I took Liv to The Lorax. Weirdest. Show. Ever. But Liv enjoyed it!

Here she is making her own peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner because she's four now and that means she can make sandwiches...

2nd Birthday Cake!

She was so excited about this mini Ariel cake!

We ended the day with some classic goofy poses by this crazy girl! 

Happy 4th Birthday Livy Lou!!!

Excellent pirate face. Jae and I have recently been trying to determine what exactly a "pirate smile" looks like, thanks to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" lyrics. I just sent Livy's pic to him. She nailed it.

Also, she looks real, real old in that photo with Matt at the movies.

Maliya feels the same way! We had a toy break, on Maliya's birthday and she instantly grabbed it from Rachel and kept saying "I am 4, I can fix it!" She was pretty adamant that 4 year olds can fix anything!

She seriously has the most stunning eyes ever. I want to hear about your pregnancy! What are you doing to stay in such great shape?
