Emerson King is 4 years old!!!!

 Today, Emerson is 4 years old!  I look at these little men and can hardly believe they are growing up so incredibly fast!  Last year in June, Emerson was at Benjamin's and they were trying to get their fingers up to show me they were 3 years old!

 A little help with the cupcake from Dad!

 Throwing a baseball...

Jumping on the trampoline...which he wasn't too excited about at first...but then he got the hang of it!

 In July, Emerson got to see his Uncle Joshua and Saddie...both of who came to visit!

 In August, this Mimi was excited when Emerson came to visit!  His cousins were also here, so we did a lot of playing at the park!

My little men were discussing water sprinklers!

(This is one of my favorite photos!)

 In September, Emerson came down to visit at his cousins.  As you can see, his smallest cousin, William, decided he was big enough to join the big boys!

 Playing "bridge"...

 digging a hole...

what a climber!

spinning each other around...laughing SO HARD the whole time!

Hugging his dad!

Having fun with Aunt Lindsey and William

 October was Papa's birthday.  We came down for a meeting, and Lindsey & family came up.  We took the boys to a park to play...and that's where this 'western jail' was.  The big boys stayed at the hotel with us...you can see how much room there is when these two sleep together!

 October was also the month Emerson broke his arm...which did NOT slow him down one bit! 

 In November, I picked up Emerson from day care and we went on a 'date'...a 'lunch date.' 

 I was all ready for an In-n-Out burger, but was quickly informed, "I don't like burgers."

 He wanted pizza...so pizza it was!

 For Christmas, we all went to Denver...to Uncle John and Aunt Becky's house.  Emerson loved just sitting and staring at the tree...at the presents.  At one point, he found all the ones with his name on them and put them in his own pile!

 In January, Emerson showed his Papa and I how good he was on the iPad.  He was so excited when he won 3 stars!

 In February, Emerson came up to visit with us...and later in the month came to William's 1st birthday!  The boys rode their scooters to the park...

 we played a little baseball...

 hugged a little...after an argument or two...

 This was at Mimi's...working puzzles and reading books by his headlamp!

and just had fun in February! 

 In March, Emerson stayed in our hotel with us.  We worked puzzles and played cars. 

What an amazing puzzle worker he is!

 In April, Emerson was able to come visit at the same time as Benjamin and William! 

 This definitely makes this Mimi happy!

And now here we are in May...

May 13th...

your 4th birthday!

Happy Birthday to you, Emerson King!

Your Mimi loves you so very much!
