Beckham requested his usual Saturday morning breakfast for his birthday... DONUTS! We put candles in his pile of donut holes and sang "Happy Birthday" to him as he sang along with us. We caught the festivities on our video camera, but unfortunately I didn't get any regular pictures.
When we finished our donuts, we went outside so the kids could ride their bikes. Chris & Amy showed up with a special delivery for Beckham!
He was so proud of his new scooter. Our neighbor, William, has one just like this and Beckham is always asking to ride it. Luckily, William is always so sweet to share; but he will not have to worry about it now. Beckham has his own! He quickly asked to get the bow off so he could get to "scooting."
Beckham & Berkley took turns riding the scooter and their bikes most of the morning. We broke for lunch and a little indoor playtime. Soon after that the kids were ready for a nap. When all the kids got up, we took Beckham outside to give him our gift. Beckham has been really interested in the soccer practice going on at the elementary school by our house, so Matt decided Beckham was ready for his own soccer goal to practice on. After all, since everyone thinks Beckham is named after the brilliant soccer star, it just makes sense that he would like soccer. Right? Well, we'll see. Here he is standing guard in front of his new goal. 
Brenner was getting really bored outside with nothing to do. Especially since we had spent so much time outside this morning. Brenner's birthday is exactly one week from today. The boys are having a dual party. (More to come on that!) Anyway, Matt & I decided we would let Brenner have his birthday present early so he could join in on the outdoor fun. He was absolutely thrilled to get a new set of wheels. They will really come in handy next Saturday for their "bring your own wheels" party too. Unfortunately his wheels are man-powered, but he had no problem getting Berkley to push him around.
For dinner, Beckham requested his favorite food, pizza. Earlier in the day he wanted to go eat pizza somewhere, but after our busy afternoon he decided he just wanted to have pizza delivered. Since we had been so busy outside testing out all the new birthday gifts, we got the pizza ordered a little late. Brenner was getting hungry & tired, so he went in for an early bath. Berkley & Beckham decided they wanted to do the same, so they all ended up having a pajama pizza party for Beckham's birthday. Once again, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Beckham and put candles in his pizza. He sang along with us too. He loves to sing this song!
After he got his candles blown out, he proudly showed us how old he is now! (He has been practicing this for a few weeks now.)

Brenner wasn't quite sure what all of the excitement was about. He just wanted to eat some pizza! 
We had a great day celebrating with Beckham. I truly can't believe he is growing up so fast. He brings so much joy to our family. His smile is amazing, and can melt anyone's heart. His personality is one-of-a-kind for sure. We love you Beckham and are so blessed to have you in our family.
