Orson helped me title his birthday blog post, so Orson the Silly it is! This silly boy turned 4 the beginning of October. He is the cutest, and we just love him to pieces.
Orson starts every day by climbing in to our bed to snuggle. I love it! He's a very affectionate little boy in general and is always giving great kisses and hugs.
Cooking with Daddy or Mommy continues to be one of Orson's favorite activities. He and Lenora always argue about who's turn it is to help me cook breakfast. According to Orson, his favorite breakfast is oatmeal, his favorite lunch is sandwiches, and his favorite dinner is biscuits and gravy.
Orson has been picking his own outfits and some of them turn out so fun.
When it comes to working with his hands, Orson is such a hard, dedicated worker. He LOVES to help with projects. We recently laid sod in our backyard, and Orson helped a lot raking and pulling weeds. He's surprisingly strong for his size too!
Orson definitely has a silly side. He and the girls are always coming up with funny games. I love hearing Orson's sweet laugh ringing through the house when they get him going.
One of Orson's favorite things lately has been to explore and figure out how things work. He was fascinated when he learned how the toilet flushed. He has been designing and building lots of Lego slurpee vehicles. We've have slurpee trucks, planes, boats, and cars. I don't know why it's always Sluprees, but it is!
Orson's birthday coincided with General Conference this year, so we took a weekend trip down to Freemont to visit Michael's Aunt Calla and watch Conference with her and Nathan. We had such a fun weekend! Capitol Reef National Park is about 30 minutes from their house so we spent Friday afternoon there. It was so beautiful! This makes two years in a row we've visited a national park on Orson's birthday. It may have to be an annual tradition.
For the first time this year, Orson had a strong opinion about what he wanted for his birthday. He wanted the cop costume he saw at Costco so much! He asked me all the time to go to Costco to get the cop costume. Even Grandma heard how much he wanted it. He was THRILLED when he got the cop costume from us AND a firefighter from Grandma and Grandpa.
Orson, the silly - we love you!!!
