Blake is 4!!!

Thats insane!!! I seriously have a 4 year old. Oh my gosh time has flown by so fast i cant even believe it!

 This little boy has the best smile ever! He is so handsome! Blake loves taking pictures and he is actually really really good at taking them! He has an eye for it! Who knows, he may be a photographer! He loves to be outside walking and looking at things. He could walk forever if we are in a new place.

Right now Blake is very into Super heros, legos, nerf guns and sports. He likes to dress up in his costumes and fight all the bad guys. He is also really into cops. He likes to pretend he is a cop and always says he either wants to be Ironman or a cop when he gets big.

 Blake is very goofy. He knows he is funny and laughs at everything he says. He thinks its funny to make funny faces when i take pictures to. Cute but annoying haha. Blake laughs and laughs and laughs. He thinks his dad is the funniest person in the world. He can get people laughing really hard to by the hilarious things he says

 Oh i love Blake so much its crazy. I dont know how Heavenly Father trusts me with such a special child but i am so thankful. Blake ALWAYS tells me how much he loves me. He always tells me that he loves me bigger than a giant. HAHA! He loves to cuddle wiith me. He also LOVES to pick flowers for me. One time he was staying home with daddy while i went out shopping. So he ran downstairs and picked a flower and said, " Mommy keep this in the car and when you get sad because i am not there just look at the flower." it was so precious. He gets very sad when he disappoints me. He always tells me that it is his job to protect me and Bailee because we are his girls:)

 Speaking of Bailee........... He LOVES Bailee. He calls her,my sweet girl, my princess, Bailee girl and rubber butt! Every single morning he wakes up and searches for Bailee to cuddle her. Almost every night he goes into Bailee when its time for her to go to bed and he sings you are my sunshine to her(it melts my heart). He loves her so much he never stops wanting to be around her. Unless he is in his room playing "naughty" games that he says she shouldnt see because she is too little.( mainly crashing his cars or super heros killing the bad guys)He loves to give her kisses and make sure she is ok when she is hurting

 Blake is a very happy boy most of the time. Except at dinner most nights. He still has the worst time eating. He is super picky and has an excuse as to why he doesnt want to or shouldnt eat that certain food. Its the worst thing ever. He also takes, no joke, 1 hour to eat his dinner. We have had to start setting a timer!But to his defense, he has also tried a lot of things i would never ever have thought he would. So thats good!

 This little boy loves his daddy more than life, not only is he exactly like his dad in pretty much every single way, but he also thinks his dad walks on water. he is obsessed with his daddy. He wants to do everything with his dad and always wants to go on a daddy date with him

 Blake played on his very first team ever! Soccer! He has a very powerful kick and knows how to play the game, but he was usually only interested in running faster than anyone else on the field haha.

 Blake has developed his very own style. Nana took him shopping and he picked out this whole outfit from head to toe! It actually looks adorable on him! Its funny because it is nothing like i have ever dressed him! He really really really loves those shoes!

 Blakers is very smart. He actually shocks a lot of people with how smart he is. In primary we have told him to learn the articles of Faith. He learns one in a day. Its crazy! He can tell you many Book of Mormon stories, he loves to watch shows that teach him how things are built and used, He knows a lot of his letters and numbers, he has pretty much every country song memorized and he is really starting to know what the spirit feels like.

 Blakes club foot is doing really good..... i think. He is really good at cleaning up as long as friends are not here. He loves to help me cook, bake and do anything in the kitchen. Today he told me that he closed his teeth so his yawn couldnt come out so he is not tired. hahaha!

 Blake loves his Nana! I mean like really really loves her. He is always very goofy with her and makes sure to protect her. Blake loves loves loves to play with friends. He loves going to friends houses, having friends over, going out with friends, whatever it is he always asks to bring a friend.

 Blake loves his papa. This part is hard for me to write and this picture is very very hard for me to see. Like i have explained there relationship IS special. The veil is very thin for Blake. Cory has come to blake a few times and talked to him and shown himself. One of the times was very recent. Blake got his fingers smashed in the car door. I thought for sure they were broken. He screamed bloody murder for a very long time and wouldnt stop. So we got in the car and started heading to the ER. Then all of the sudden Blake stops crying. I ask him if he is ok and he says," yes papa was with me and gave me a hug." My heart melted and my eyes teared up. The night after Cory died, Cory came to Blake. Blake was very worried all day about the bad guys that killed papa and that papa didnt even have a chance to fight back. his sensitive spirit could not handle it. The next morning Blake woke up and and immediately told me that papa came to him when he was sleeping. He said, " i was sleeping and papa kept trying to wake me up and told me he needed to talk to me for a minute. He said that Heavenly Father is fixing him right now and that i dont need to worry about the bad guys and that he was taking care of them." Ever since then Blake has not worried a single bit about what happened to his papa. He misses him like crazy and is definitely still grieving, but he understands what happened and where he is. We went to nanas house a couple weeks ago and Blake woke up the first morning very sad and somber. I asked him why he was so sad and he said, " I am just having a hard time. I thought if i came to nanas house papa would talk to me." Oh my heart just broke. So i told him we will pray that papa will come see him that night. So we said our prayers that night and asked that Cory come talk to Blake and ease his mind. Sure enough, Blake came to me in the morning and said papa came and talked to him. He said, " Papa was in his cop clothes and he told me the tyesun needed to take Bailee on the tractor and that Tyesun needed to take Blake and Bailee out to see the dogs." I thought that was interesting and then little did I know that that is exactly what Tyesun was needing. He needed to be with Blake and Bailee. Blake has a very strong testimony for such a young boy. I am so glad that he is so close to Cory and that Cory can be there for Blake when he really needs him. Blake talks about papa just about every day and tells us and Bailee how much he misses him.

 Ok seriously this is Blake at like 2 weeks old!!!! Oh my goodness look how tiny!!!! I couldnt imagine not having him in my life. He completes this family and brings so much light and the spirit with him. He is my best little buddy and my cuddler. I love him so so so much and cant wait to see what happens in the next year of his life!

This picture came out of order but he loves My family! He loves his SheShe and talks about her all the time. He gets super excited when i tell him we are going to see SheShe that day and asks me all day long when we are going to see her until we do. He loves her!
