Four

This little guy turned four on Sunday. It was a much anticipated event. He's been asking how many days until his birthday for about a year now! Okay, probably more like a month, but still, he's been anxious. Owen decided that his birthday meant he was king for the day. And he took that quite literally. Ains even made hims a crown. Here he is watching Spider Man while eating skittles and wearing his Batman cape. Ahh, such a life of luxury!

He had quite the birthday weekend. His birthday coincided with the Welch Family "stay-cation" this year. The whole family was in town. Michael even brought his girlfriend. Friday was pizza, s'mores, and a sleepover outside at the grandparents. Saturday was a bike ride on the greenbelt (that Ains and John missed because Ains woke up throwing up that morning). Then there was swimming, a bbq, and a movie outside on a big screen. It was a lot of fun and Owen thought the whole weekend was about him. And here is the one picture I got of all the festivities.....

Owen and his cousins looking at the fish at the nature center along the greenbelt. Breath taking isn't it?

John let him open one present a day early. His big boy bike. It's all he's been asking for. Other than his own tv and wii, a nintendo ds, and a few other minor things.
(That's Michael's girlfriend Courtney on the left. Good thing her name is spelled differently than our Kortney or that would be confusing :o)

Sunday the party moved to our house for Owen's little celebration. Sunday birthday's are kind of a bummer in my opinion. But what do I know. I'm pretty sure Owen had fun though.
He requested spaghetti for dinner (after I talked him out of mac n' cheese from a box because no one else in the family will eat that). He has recently decided that he loves noodles and rice and hates sauce. He even wants his pizza without sauce. So when he said spaghetti, he actually meant noodles. Yum!
He chose a Batman themed party (thanks to Batman Legos).
His day was filled with Batman, Spiderman, and Star Wars. A four year olds' dream come true.

Happy birthday Owen! I can't believe he's already four. The cake looks awesome. And I totally agree that Sunday birthdays are lame. Good thing he didn't think so.

And I think your family stay-cation sounds even funner than a real vacation.

And, because I can't leave a comment without saying how stinking cute Ainsley is, she is adorable and I love that green dress!

What a fun stay-cation. I must say your little Owen would fit right in at our house with Legos and Star Wars! By the way, I have a four year old now too. (Just turned 4 in July). I love the King for the day right down to the handsome crown!
