Happy birthday to our pioneer man

This guy... Wow!! He is one serious dude. This year has really brought out the mountain man in our youngest son. This guy loves fishing, catching insects and frogs and being in the dirt.... Just to name a few of his favorites. He has become a frog hunting expert and can get those things fast as a flash regardless of size. I detest insects, frogs, bugs... Etc. so I just try and act excited for him but stand a good foot away when he brings me his latest find. :)

Rivers at 3:

He loves spider man

He does not have time for TV shows

He unlike all 4 other children does NOT have a sweet tooth 

He would play outside 24 hours a day if I let him

He LOVES golf

He adores his dad and would like to be with him non stop

He is beginning to like his brother

He absolutely adores his baby sister and is always getting her a drink or a snack or a toy. Such a huge difference from last year when he just ignored her.

He is very quiet and contemplative but can be the loudest if he needs attention. 

He gets very excited about daily life and it does my heart so much good to see his zeal for what is mostly just the mundane. He sees a tree and says "(gasp) look at dat tree!!(another gasp)"... Wonder and excitement are always on his face!!

He gives the best best best hugs and kisses and says "I lub you momma".... 

I "lub" you to my sweet Rivers J !!!!

Super "Ribers"

His birthday balloon!

Sleeping with his new golf balls (don't worry, I took the balls and plastic bag away the minute he fell asleep)

Chillin' on the golf cart at Uncle Kens!!

That's what 4 years does...
