Kory turns 4!!

Thursday was Kory's 4th birthday!! I still can't believe it!! Where did the time go. He has been asking for months when he was going to turn 4. Finally, at the beginning of the month I made a chain with him to count down to his birthday. This seemed to cut down on the "Is it my birthday yet?" question. As you can see, he dressed himself on his birthday. It was all I could do to let him stay in it, but I bit my tongue and let him. He got to go to Toys R Us and pick out a toy. He picked out this bat cave. Since than it's been loads of fun!

I noticed that this picture shows off his dark tooth and some of you may not know the story, so I thought I'd just document it now! When we were living at Vandenberg Air Force base and Kory was almost 3 he tripped and fell while playing chase with Kyle. (This was about 6months after falling in Cheyenne and busting his lip on the other side.) His front tooth went all the way though his lower lip. He had to be put to sleep while they stitched up his lip and the following day he took a trip to the dentist to ensure his tooth would be okay. The dentist Dr. McCune(he was in our ward) told us it looked okay, but would most likely be darker than all his other teeth. Sure enough--it is! I like to think of it as his signature smile. It's part of what makes Kory, KORY!!

We love you Kory!! You're an awesome son! We are so thankful to have you!
