Happy Birthday Matt

Today was Matt's fourth birthday.  I can't believe he's 4!  We started the day by opening presents at home.




 After presents we headed up to Grandpa and Grandma Petersen's and the Box Elder County Fair.  It's so fun to get out and relive some of my childhood fun.

 They had this steer there and he was soooo tame!  Matt ended up being really interested in him and even hopping on the fence trying to crawl up to pet him.  The picture doesn't do his horn span justice. They were huge!!
 The kids went to ride the flying saucers and last minute two kids went in front and each hopped in their own.  I figured my kids would come back, but instead Megan hopped in one with a random girl and then Matt followed along and hopped in with a random boy.  I love that my kids are so social!

 They could have ridden alone, but they chose to ride together.  I love it!!

 This train ride was fun as well.  The guy put out his hand to take the tickets from Matt and Matt just thought he wanted a high five.  Matt giggles and smiles and slaps the guy's hand and then skips on in and hopped in the train.  Luckily Meg was right there with the tickets for both of them.


 They wanted to go on the "Pirate Ship" and I was incredibly nervous.  It was high up and I was worried Matt would freeze.  I told Meggie to wait for him and she totally did.  I was so proud watching them go through.  Matt got hung up climbing up the net and Meg cheered him on and waited for him.  They actually ended up going through this one twice because they had so much fun.



 Matt was barking like a dog until I pointed out he was in a pig...LOL!
 Matt insisted on Cheesecake this year.  Happy Birthday Buddy!
