Hot Wheels Party
We celebrated Jackson's 4th Birthday with a Hot Wheels party today at our house! He's been counting down the days ever since the beginning of January. Everywhere we went, he'd tell someone about his "hot wheels one" he was having!

He had a great time with his buddies here to play with him! I had a lot of fun preparing for this party...a car theme was pretty fun! Today was also my Mom's birthday, so it was nice for me to celebrate Jack's life today, as well as remember my mom who always threw my brother & I awesome parties! Thank you to everyone who was able to come...I know weather constraints & sickness kept some away who wanted to be here!
The whole gang at the party! It was hard to get one of everyone looking....I think this is the best one I got!

Kylie & Jack at the party :) They are becoming more and more "girlie" and "all boy" (as seen by their poses here!) Luckily they still enjoy each other. We're still holding out hope that they will get married some day :) Imagine the slide show we could put together!!
Here are some of the decorations for the Hot Wheels party!


Goody bags with Driver's Licenses, personalized for each kid! (yes, I AM crazy, and I spent about 6 hours making the darn things!)

We had a race car pinata!
I love this picture of the smiling kids! They were loving watching the pinata!
Colby loved the pinata! He kept smiling as he was swinging at it. I guess he doesn't remember doing this at his 1st birthday party :)
Cassie, Jack, and Ben swinging...
Big Dog enjoying the party :)
The cake! He had an ice cream cake this year...note the Hot Wheels candle in the corner :)
Wow--doesn't he look so big??!! He knew just what to do..he hopped up in the chair, got his cake, and got ready for a picture :)

The Grandparents went in with us to buy a bounce house for the boys! It was a lot of fun for the kids today!
Kylie, Jack, and Ben bouncin' around!
The kids held their presents and took turns handing them to Jackson!Jackson opening presents...he got a Leapster & games, Monster Trucks, and clothes!
