Happy 4th Birthday Broc

Four years ago was one of the happiest days of our lives. Our long awaited little boy came weighing in at 7lbs. 15oz. and 21 inches long.

Now four years later he is 37lbs, and about 39inches tall, with a personalty that cant be matched and a heart of gold.
The day started with his swim lessons, followed by getting things ready to have our families come over for some cake and ice cream.

The day before Kris took Broc to get a big boy bike. His other one (which he loved because it was Thomas) kept getting flat tires and the spokes would pop the tires. So he up-graded and also got a helmet. Now all we have to do it get rid of the training wheels. Soon I hope!

Broc kept telling us and his Nanna he wanted a Kitty just like hers for his birthday, she of course knew we didn't like cats, so instead she bought him some Gold Fish. She had originally purchased 4, by the time she got to the house one had died. That night another one died. By the next morning the other two had died. He was pretty upset about them dying but at the same time enjoyed flushing them down the toilet!
He called her the next day to tell of the tragic event and so of course she went on bought him 5 more. We brought them home stuck them in the tank and the next morning 1 died, by the time we got home from church 2 had died, by the time we finished eating dinner the other two died. We are not good with FISH. I would like to say we are going to give up on fish, however I am going to go back to the pet store and find out all the in's and out's on how to keep Gold Fish alive.

For his birthday he got a pool and slip and slide, Hi Ho Cherry O, dinosaurs, books, Lego's ( a Lego Thomas Train too), clothes, Dinosaurs movie, and a BABY! Now this is a funny story...
About a month ago Broc kept saying he wanted to be a Big Brother. I told him that some day he will be and we were just waiting for Heavenly Father to bless us with a baby. That wasn't good enough. So he called his Grandma Chris and this is how the conversation went...

"Grandma I need a baby sister!"

"Your getting a baby sister??????????"

"No I need one, can you go get me one?"
"Where do I get you one, I don't know where to get you a baby sister, you have to wait till Heavenly Father brings you one."
"Well you can just get one at Wal-Mart, or try Shop-Ko!"

It was a really funny conversation! So for his birthday Grandma bought him a baby sister. A baby A-LIVE. I soon found out that it pees! I took the bottle away and told him not to take the diaper off!!!! But he loves it.

However he really did kind of get a real baby sister for his birthday. His Nanna's daughter Kristin had her baby the day before, and she is beautiful. We went to see her on Saturday night and he calls her his baby sister. He was so gentle with her, and sang her songs when she started to get a little fussy. We all hope to see more of her and as much of her as we can, because really she is so cute!!!

That was pretty much his birthday in a nut shell, he had a great day and we are so blessed to have him as a part of our lives, he is the sweetest little boy with the biggest heart.
