Rafe is turning 4!!


Tomorrow night at 9:27 p.m. my little boy will officially turn 4 years old. I still cannot believe this. His birth was something I will never forget and the last four years have been magical. Thank you, Snookie, for being who you are. You truly are a treasure. You fill my heart with love and pride. I love spending time with you and get really sad thinking about how fast the days are flying by. Here are a few things I want to remember about you as a 4 year old....

*You love anything and everything related to Super Heroes, Batman, the Joker, etc. Your favorite is Batman, although lately you are loving Superman.

*You love to catch any critter and put them in your bug box. You were really good at catching critters when we lived in Charleston.

*You LOVE to dress-up. We have a costume box FULL of costumes. You usually put one on first thing in the morning and still wear part of it (helmet, gloves, etc.) wherever we go that day.

*You cannot get in the car without taking some sort of toy from your room.

*You started playing soccer in August. You enjoy practicing, but decided you liked the view from the sidelines better during the games!!!

*You LOVE to dance. I must say you have some good moves. We are going to have to work on them before you get older!! We have a talent show most nights before you go to bed. Your favorite song is "Play that Funky Music, White Boy".

*Your favorite holiday, by far, is Halloween. You start planning what you are going to be in January and can hardly wait for your birthday to be over so we can start decorating the house!

*You love to go to school. You enjoy playing on the playground with William and staying to eat lunch on Thursday's with him.

*You are EXTREMELY funny. You are very quick witted to be 4 years old!

*Your favorite color is green

*Your favorite foods are okra, steak, chicken soup, yogurt, "sawchez" pizza, ice cream and nachos.

*Your favorite drinks are orange juice, sweet tea and Sprite

*You love Buck and enjoy helping me feed and bathe him. You would love to have a cat, but we have not convinced Daddy yet.

*You love "viveos". Your favorite movies are Peter Pan, Toy Story, Chicken Little, Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles. You will probably be an actor one day. You can quote movies quite well!

*You love for Daddy to do "magic" every night before you go to bed. It is amazing what he can pull out of your ear!!

*You go to bed around 8:30 every night and are up before the roosters on the farm! (usually around 6:00!!)

*You love to play baseball. We have nice baseball games with Daddy, Pop and Gram.

*You have met many new friends since we moved to Greer, but when asked who you most like to play with you immediately say, "Caroline"

*You love the Gamecocks and enjoy going to the football games.

*You love to ride your new bike and scooter. We usually go outside after breakfast and ride around the neighborhood*Your favorite places to eat are Moe's and Miyabi's

*You love going to church and seeing your friends. You are learning so much in your Sunday School class. I am very impressed!

*You love to torment Buck by chasing him around the house with your dump truck. He even jumped on your bed to get away from you.

*Your favorite places to go are Monkey Joe's and Chuck E Cheese's

*You love to get in the dog pens at Pop's house and get on top of the dog house like Lilly.

*You love to help anybody to anything. I guess I should take advantage of this now while you are so eager!

*You have adjusted well to a new house and new friends. We left all of our buddies in Charleston in June and moved to Greer. You are now enjoying getting spoiled by your grandparents.

I love you so much. Happy Birthday!!
