Reid turns 4!!! And Mother's Day

We had a busy/fun week! Reid turned 4, he's such a big boy. He keeps saying, "Am I a tough kid?" And he's been trying to show how strong he is by lifting heavier things. It's cute. He weighs almost 40 pounds now and is 40.5 inches tall. He's such a sweet boy and keeps us laughing pretty much all the time. He had a fun birthday.
 Birthday boy! He wanted oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast.
 Opening his new train engine...
...and driving it all around his track. We have to do it up on the table so it doesn't get destroyed by our busy, busy baby.
 Grandma is so fun to have around. She spent the day with the boys while Andy and I cleaned and organized the garage. It was a huge job, but feels so good to have it done! We pulled a lot of stuff out for a garage sale we'll have next month.
 Grandma took the boys to the park.
Miles loves the steering wheel.
I found our beard beanies! Miles wasn't a huge fan.
 I also found this paint with water thing and both big kids have been loving it.
 Meeting Ruby when she gets off the bus.
We gave Miles some whole milk and he likes it okay. I think it's too cold straight out of the refrigerator.
 My mom and Reid made Blueberry Buckle for his birthday dessert.
 
He took a few tries blowing out the candles.
 More gifts!
 He loves his new light saber.
 Our doctor is super nice. This is at his annual appointment the next day.
 Reading with a friend.
 Ruby got to bike to school on Wednesday with Grandma.
My mom took this cute picture of our family. <3
 And we got Miles a new high chair. He would rock his old one and we were all afraid he would knock it over and get hurt. This one attaches to the table and is great!
 We found this kid broom in the garage too.
He loves his pop up tent and set it all up with his sleeping bag, pillow and stuffed animals.
 They love to climb in this little dead bush thing.
 They made a maze for Miles. He just kept wanting to stand up and push the chairs though. Haha
 Learning to tie her shoes!
 The boys and I had fun at the library.
 Pushing the books around.
 After school ice cream picnic!
 Ruby wanted some makeup on. :)
 She made me these Mother's Day coupons. She kept drawing me pictures and giving me flowers and things all week for Mother's Day. She's so precious.
 She made me this snack plate.
 We enjoyed a picnic lunch outside on Saturday. Our neighbor Aylah sat with us too.
 Then we went to a fun park!
 It was super hot that day.
 First time on the slide! 
Reid was playing that the walker was some kind of tractor (upside down) and Miles kept hitting him with the broom. Brothers...
 So sweet. Both big kids really love Miles so much.
 Miles was pretty snotty on Mother's Day so we didn't go to church. But we did go to Elk Rock garden for a little walk and it was gorgeous. I love this picture.
 And this one!!
 Overlooking the Willamette River. I was a little afraid that the kids would fall down the cliff.
 Me and my littlest.
 Smelling the flowers.
 Reid's smile lately! Hahahaha
 <3
 We had several attempts at a mom and kid photo and we got some good ones.
 Miles loves crawling up on the trampoline lately.
 We stopped in at Old Navy to return something, and of course Ruby wanted to try on some clothes.
 She drew this picture of me at school along with writing about three pages of things she likes about me. I love it so much!
 Stratego!
 He gets up and tries to jump, it's so cute.
 On Monday the boys and I went over to the park. Reid did really good on his bike.
 Happy baby!
 Swing time.
 :) He loves it.
 And he loved sitting on the tractor. Reid has been driving around with Miles walking holding onto the back of it. Reid says he's "entertaining the baby."
 He got this fun trash truck from the Hall family.
 And then spent at least an hour and a half playing with it non-stop after lunch.
Carting it around in his trailer. Hahaha! 
 This is part of what Ruby wrote me for Mother's Day. I think she was attempting to do the whole alphabet but only got to B.
"Happy Mother's Day Momy!
I need to tell you something
A. After you nurse the baby we can snuggle with you.
B. Baby is very hungry sometimes. At dinner time. So you have to feed him you're food.
C.
Ruby"
He loves tickles!
