STOCKTON IS TURNING 4!!

I can not believe that my Stocky boy or Stock is turning four this week. Tonight we had our family party for Stockton. He wanted as he says, "a teo neo ninga turtle cake." So I made him the cake today and we barbequed hamburgers his very favorite thing to eat!! He had so much fun playing outside and opening his presents. Stockton is such a blessing to me and to our family. Here are a few things that I love about my Stocky!!

1. He is the best snuggler in the whole world. I always tell him shhh don't tell anyone but you are my favorite person to snuggle with. He always smiles so big when I say that.

2. He is and always has been a blankie boy. He has his two favorite blankies that he always uses and he can't sleep without them. If he doesn't have it he will wake up in the middle of the night and we search the house until we find it.

3. He is a night owl like me. He is always the last person to go to bed. He gets so hyper at night and loves to hang out with me.

4. He sucks his thumb and always has. I am sad about his teeth but you can always correct that. It truely is adorable.

5. He loves his karate class. Every morning when he wakes up he asks me, "mom do I have karate today?"

6. His favorite foods are: french toast, pancakes, orange juice, dino nuggets, cafe rio pork, hamburgers with just ketchup, and m&m's.

7. He loves dinosaurs, teo neo ninga turtles(that's how he says it), pirates, swords, animals and his new obsession is playing mario cart on the wii.

8. He loves movies. He always says, "mom will you watch a movie and snuggle with me?"

9. He adores his big sister. He literally copies everything she says and does and takes it for the gospel truth.

10. He likes learning. He is working on learning his alphabet and sounds with each letter right now.

11. He goes to challenger with two friends from the ward. But openly and sometimes secretly doesn't want to go because he always wants to be with me. He is a home body and is always the happiest when he and I are together.

12. He is such a joy in my life. He is the most handsome little guy in the whole world. I know he will break a few hearts as he is growing up.

I am so thankful for my Stock. I love him with all my heart. He is such a good boy and so sweet to other kids. I always get glowing reviews from all of his teachers at school, church and karate. He is such a bright spot in my life and I am so blessed that he calls me mommy. Happy Birthday Stock!! I hope you have a great day.
