Somebody Just Turned Four!

Hard to believe it but my little grandson Deacon just turned four years old.

Okay, I'm lying. It's not hard to believe. I actually told someone a few weeks ago that he was turning five. Yeah, talk about getting old. I think we know now who's being most affected by the aging process here, don't we?! DOH!

We joined the family for a little birthday celebration at Derek and Misty's place...their wedding is just a week away. But today's festivities were all about this cute little boy.

And baseball.
And groovy-looking cake.

And more baseball. Woo-hoo!

Seems we may have a future hall-of-famer slugger on our hands. Who knows!
He still needs a little help getting dressed for the game but that's okay.


Even Grandpa Kuhn got into the action.

The spectators were quite overwhelmed by the hoopla!

Some even lost their heads over it. It was quite an event.

At the end of the party, it was really all about...well, baseball, yes, but cake. Lots of it. Groovy, tasty cake.

Groovy, tasty cake on fire.

Holy cow and the candles won't stop burning...

Um, Daddy?

Ruh-roh.

Okay, now this is just kooky!

Yep, he was easy to trick. He is only four, after all (see, I remember) but that didn't make it any less fun to watch as he marveled at the never-ending candles spark up again.

Four years down. Many more to come. And this little slugger is just getting started. Look out spring T-ball opponents...one pretty cool kid is headed your way.
