Rhett's 4th B-day!

Piano sidewalk sale at Tony's new job 
Complete with bounce house for kiddies--on Rhett's birthday!
His big request was that we go to Menchie's!
A little 'husband to wife' art :)
 
The party gang the next day...
Legos!!
 And a super heroes book were his favorites
Let's read it 20 times Uncle Spencer!
 
This was my first experience with a young child asking for a non-themed cake...he wanted Strawberry cupcakes so I obliged, but I had some almond flour someone gave me (thanks Brooke's family!) and I was soo impressed with how light and fluffy they were! Seriously, I thought they were way better than the white flour version!

Rhett has always been our smiley happy guy...he loves to marvel about the littlest things in life, says 'thanks!!' for everything with his adorable munchkin voice and is one tough dude--the boys now say he's probably tougher than they are (in regards to wrestling :) He has an impish sense of humor (he laughs all the time & teases the boys mercilessly),  yet is also tender (validating his feelings is a big deal to him), and also very independent--he loves to have time to play by himself during quiet time (much to the chagrin of Ari). He loves to imagine and build things, but drawing is usually his go-to activity of choice. I'll never forget when he handed me a drawing at a young age 2 and told me it was a rocket and I could totally tell! An octopus came soon after, and recently during General Conference he would look up at the dresser the tv was on, look down and draw, then look up, then down, etc...he was copying what he saw! He also does a great job of singing on key and it just makes my heart swell to hear him singing songs around the house from whatever he was listening to most recently (from CD's, movies, songs from preschool or whatever!). 

What a kid, we sure love you buddy!
