Birthday boy

My little superhero, Simeon, turned 4!

 He loves all things superhero and all things that require building.

 He had such a fun day: a birthday party with friends and cousins, and a little party later with family.  

 He had a superhero party- they played pin the cape on the superhero

 He got some great presents

 There was even a visit from Nacho Libre with some helpful tips and superhero moves

 more tricks

 Olivia wrote a song for his birthday and sang it with the help of Jayda and Bella

 Addison was here for Thanksgiving from Arizona

 Both sets of grandparents came

and the best part: Lemon Bundt cake! (he has grown up taste buds- we had shrimp for dinner)

Sim took a really long time thinking of a wish before he blew out his candles- hope it comes true!

Simeon's Gold Medal

Simeon took a few swimming lessons like last year.  As usual, they were amazing.  I think it helped a lot that we swam so much over the summer and keep swimming as much as we can (3 times last week, 4 the week before)

 The little guy earned his gold medal

 and made me so proud!

Model Simeon

My sister in law, Sonia asked me to take her "before" pictures for a fitness thing she's doing (I have promised not to show them)  and as soon as we finished taking her pictures, Simeon stripped off his shirt and started posing- I couldn't resist snapping a few pics.

I'm not sure exactly about this last one but he thought it was a great way to show off some of his muscles.  Silly boy.

First Day of Preschool!!!

Mr. Simeon is a big boy.  We started a neighborhood preschool with him and three other kids.  The moms take turns each week so I have them once a month for two hours twice a week.  He was so excited for the first day.  At the mine he got a sheriff badge with the name Amigo on it (they didn't have any Simeons)  and insisted on wearing it to school along with his Iron Man backpack. 

My girls are excited for his preschool too because that means they get to help when it's at our house- next week is our first chance.  I can't believe my baby is so grown up!
