Conrad is 4!!!

Saturday was Conrad's birthday.  Bo's mom was in town for the weekend and he was excited to share the weekend wither her.   It was a very fun day (minus the snow on the ground).  We let him open a couple of presents when we got up and then saved some for later.

Of course since it was the day before Easter we had to go to the Easter Egg Hunt.  It was in the Rigby Jr. High gym (yes the weather was that bad).  I could not believe how much candy the kids got.  I'm sure they were planning on more people.  Conrad had tons.  I'm sure we will have it around for at least a couple of months.

Then, off we went to Leo's Place.  For those of you who don't know what that is, it's like a scaled down Chuck E Cheese.  We do what we can here in Idaho Falls :)  It was a lot of fun.  Conrad opened the rest of his presents there.  It's so fun to watch kids open presents.  They are so excited.  They had so much fun that they didn't eat much pizza and so they had it for dinner leftovers.  Nice for me :)

My cake on the other hand flopped a little this year.  I baked his cake the night before so I would just be able to frost it in the morning.  Well, that didn't work out.  I could not get the cake out of the pan.  I even greased and floured it.  Oh well.  So, I had to hurry and make one in the afternoon after we got back.  He was just happy to have cake.  He is so easygoing.  Just like his dad :)

So, now I'll type up some fun stuff about Conrad and things he loves:

First off, he is very quick and you can't get anything past him.
He is a peacemaker
He is always asking, "Did Jesus say we can eat this?" (I think it's from hearing about coffee and all the other things we don't eat and drink and for some reason he really picked up on it.)
He has started writing letters.  And Hailey tries to spell things for him to write.  (So fun to listen to.)
He learned how to ride his bike last Fall
Bo said, "When he hits on the tee he pretends to hit homers and runs all around".


He LOVES
 Fishing and can't wait to go again!
 Spiderman

 Candy
 Pepperoni Pizza
 Martha Speaks (PBS Show)

We love you Conrad.  You bring such a sweet and loving spirit to our home.  You are a great brother to Hailey and Jackson and can't wait for the next one to come.  We are so happy you were sent to our family.  We can't wait to see what you will learn and do this next year!
