Zach is four!
We tried to make the day special by starting with his favorite breakfast.
Daddy came home and took Zach to a park for lunch.We went out to dinner and then Zach got to use his birthday gift card to find the toy of his dreams (a Ninja turtle action figure and a Baby Animal Encyclopedia)
The party continues on Saturday with a family treasure hunt ending with cake and gifts.
In the morning I told Zach the story about the day he was born. I listed all the people that were there to meet him and how he was the very first grandbaby for all of his grandparents. I told him I had tears in my eyes when I first saw him because I was so happy to be holding my little boy. He loved listening. When I was tucking him in last night he told me,
"Mom, I had tears in my eyes too, when I was born."
"Oh, you did? Why?"
"Because I was so, so happy that you were my mommy."
And right then and there, my heart melted.

Hey Elder Painter & fam.
How funny, looks like there is already a comment on here from a "Dixon Family." Well, that's us too! This is "Sister Weeks" from the mission. I saw your blog address on the mission website. You have such a cute little family! Your wife must be a photographer, because you have some amazing pic on here! Glad to see you are doing well!
Could he be any cuter??!! I love him. He is just the sweetest and I can sense that just from your posts (even before this one). What a darling little boy. So excited for you to have another one.
