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!
Colby & Keagan playing in Colby's room........
Aiden & Jack (and their dogs!).....
Jack spent the afternoon after the party was over, playing with his favorite gifts...Monster Trucks and.....
....his Leapster! So far he's played Ratatouille and Nemo! It amazed me that he was just able to start playing it right away!

4 Year Old Pictures
I decided to just take my own pictures for Jackson's 4 Year pictures. I like how they turned out. I think they capture the sweetness of our 4 year old.....
Jack came up with his own poses, for these next two :)
I think this is my favorite one of Jackson....oh, and Big Dog :)
I took some pictures of Colby in his Valentine shirt too....He had a lot of fun!
Little man is fitting into his 2T pants Aunt Karen bought him for Christmas!

EDAC Appointment
Colbers had his 2nd EDAC appt today (early developmental assessment center). They were looking at him as a 15 month old (which is his corrected age). They told us 1/2 the things they'd ask him to do would be age appropriate and 1/2 would be too hard for him. He was actually able to do most tasks. It was really fun to watch him play with each thing they gave him & complete the tasks! They told us that he is completely caught up to a 17 month old (his real age), and even his speech is caught up! He's 75th percentile for height, and 50th for weight. We're so proud of our boy! Here is Colby's new "cheese" face he gives me when I want to take a picture :) Oh joy..now they're both doing that!
He's getting so tall!

Monster Jam
Saturday night Kaleb & I had a date with Jackson, our almost 4 year old! He didn't know where we were going, only that it was "something to watch." The whole way there he was convinced he was going to the movies! When we pulled into Angels stadium, he thought "oh baseball!" but we told him that wasn't it. Then he sees the Monster Trucks in the parking lot and says, "Oh, they have Monster Trucks here!" So we assumed he had figured it all out. As we're walking up to the stadium, he says, "Hey, when did they change Angels baseball into the movie theater??!" We realized he still didn't get it!! When he saw the field all set up, he got it! We had a great night with our boy!
Jack with mommy & daddy at the Monster Jam!!!
Here is the Dalmation truck and Shocker (who is from Bakersfield!) racing...
At first Jack kept his ears covered, as the trucks were really loud...I don't think he was too sure about it at first!
He rebounded quickly & started getting into it!
Gravedigger was the highlight of the show!
