Happy 4th Birthday Jack Jack!!!
I can't believe my big boy is four years old today!! I was watching the slide show we made for his party, and just can't believe he is so big now! It's kind of sad and exciting at the same time...What a joy our Jack Jack is :)
Jackson wore his "It's my Birthday" shirt, and wanted to wear his sheriff badge :)
Talking to Nana on his birthday :)We went to Islands tonight for a cheeseburger (Jack's favorite). Here he & Big Dog are taking a break. He had a day of partying with his day care friends, and then his friends at Preschool! He got the snazzy crown at preschool :)





Colby's new favorite past time...climbing up the slide, standing up, making mommy nervous, "sliding" down (which is more like jumping)....

A heart collage Jack made at preschool....He told me, "Ms. Kenison told me to put it in my window." And you know, if Ms. Kenison said it, it must be done :)

More Birthday Party Pics
Here are Devon's pictures from the party...she always takes such awesome pictures! Enjoy!

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!
