Oaks is FOUR!

My little "Oak Tree" is four years old and what a handsome little four year old he is!  It seems like he went from a little toddler to a little boy over night.

~Oakley has the biggest imagination I have ever seen!  He can tell you the most amazing stories and he loves to pretend to be someone else.  Sometimes he is Jason, sometimes he is Big John from The High Chaparral, sometimes he is Batman or Spiderman...you just never know what role he is going to play each day.
~He loves to help Daddy on the farm.  In fact he turned down a trip to Blazers the other day to stay and help Papaw and Daddy haul in tobacco.  I think we have a little farmer on our hands.
~His favorite song is Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show and he wants to listen to it all the time!  His next favorite song is Big Green Tractor.  You can always catch him singing one of the two.  He loves music and has a little guitar that he tries to play.  We have a good friend, Zack, who can play and Oakley says he is going to play with him when he gets big.  Guess we should start guitar lessons!!
~He loved playing baseball this year and talks about it all the time.  He was still pretty timid out on the field, but I think he really had fun.
~He is still quite shy around people he doesn't know and sticks close to me when in public.  With that said, he is a completely wild, loud, mischievous and rambunctious little boy at home!  We laugh and say he must hold it in all day so when he gets home he just has to let it all out!!
~Jason describes Oakley as "meaner than a snake but scared of his own shadow" and it is so true.  He is ALWAYS up to something at home, picking on the girls and always ready to wrestle and fight, but he will not go downstairs, outside or even in another room by himself.  He wants someone with him at all times...not to mention he has to sleep with his lamp on.
~He has the sweetest heart.  When we tuck him in at night and say his prayers he always thanks God for his entire family (Grandparents, Aunt, Uncles and Cousins) by name and then he tells Jason and I that we are the best Mommy and Daddy.  It is so sweet!!
~Oakley looks up to and loves his older cousins Chandler and Kyle.  In fact I think he would move in with his Aunt Jen and Uncle Casey if we would let him!! He loves all of their big boy toys!!
~He also LOVES to go to his Nana and Papaw's and Gran and Papa's!
~He can also be very stubborn and can throw the biggest fits you have ever seen!!
~Oakley keeps up laughing everyday!  He is always doing something to bring a smile to our face!!
