Travis-O-Saurus turns 4!

Mom's invitation attempts....

The Travis-o-saurus!
(in his favorite dino shirt even!)

Travis is addicted to dinosaurs these days, especially after our family vacation to Utah where we saw so many cool dinosaur things. So, when it came time to pick a birthday theme--there was no question in Travis's mind...it had to be a dinosaur party!

Unfortunately, Travis's birthday came right at the same time as the Fall Festival for PTO...so Mom had to push his party back a week. But we still gave him his presents from us on his birthday.
A new bike!

Travis liked it, but he isn't so sure about the pedals. He totally loves his balance bike,but this is a new experience for him!

Happy Birthday Travis!

Oh, and can't forget the presents from Jace and Reagan.... These are the things Travis actually asked for specifically. A Spiderman motorcycle:

A new Frog movie:

And a Transformer:

I love my big sister!





Look at me now Mom! I love this thing! By the end of the day, Travis got to be a pro at the pedals!
















Birthday Pizza! (Because this is what Travis wanted for dinner...his favorite--Little Cesar's!)

Mom made Travis's dino cake. It was quite the endeavor, but Mom and Misty found a cool pic on Pintrest and just had to recreate it so here was the end product:

Not too bad for a novice!

And it even had peanut butter frosting inside with chocolate cake, just like Travis requested!

Mom also made a dino cake for Travis to decorate. Reagan helped him and this was their creation:

Daddy helped us plan some of the fun for Travis's party. Digging up dino bones?! Of course! You just have to!

The kids so loved every minute of this! It was an old dried and weathered cow skeleton, but they didn't care at all! It was fun...a bit weird, but fun just the same!

I think digging was half the fun for them!

Look what I found Mom!

Check out all our treasures! These are amazing! And YES--you all can take home the bones you found! Best party favors ever!!!

Next, was cracking dino eggs. Mom took some dirt, flour, and water and made some mud balls with dinos in the middle. They were hard as rocks and the kids had to use hammers to get the dinos out, but I think they loved it!

Travis had lots of fun and got lots of great gifts! Thank you everyone!

(Travis loved his hotwheels wall track from Grandma and Granddad! Probably his favorite toy now!)

ps--no pics of blowing out the candles...can't believe we missed that one! Oops! Sorry Trav!

We love you Travis and are so grateful for you! You are full of stories and love to give hugs and kisses (when it is your idea). You love being a big brother and help lots with Jace. You love being the little brother and doing everything that Reagan can do. We love your independence and your honesty. You are a sweet little guy and we love you! Happy Fourth Birthday Travis!
