Officially Four

Last week my baby boy turned 4! It's amazing how quickly time goes by. It seems like just yesterday I was bringing that adorable little boy home. The older he gets the funnier he gets. I love his little personality. He brings such fun and laughter into our home. I just love my little guy!

For his 4th birthday he decided he wanted a CARS themed party. I didn't think I would have so much fun throwing a boys party! I made box cars for the kids to look like Lightening McQueen. When the kids got there they colored pictures of Lightening McQueen. Then once everyone got there we made licence plates for their cars. Bill was working in Guido and Luigi's Tire Shop. We had a relay race and they had to make a few rounds, get gas and their tires put on, afterwards everyone got medals. After that we played musical cars. From there we opened presents and went downstairs to Flo's Diner for lunch and cake. The kids seemed like they enjoyed the party! It was a lot of work, but so worth it!

Right after we had a little birthday party for Tristan with my family. Then on Monday we had a party for Tristan as well as Calder - who is now officially a teenager. It's been fun to celebrate with everyone!

Thank You!

I know I have Tristan's birthday to blog about, but I know that will take me longer to journal and download pictures than this will. I just wanted to express my gratitude for good friends. Today I been feeling pretty crappy and my amazing friend Melissa called me and told me to send Tristan down. She willingly took him pretty much all day as well as Stella when she got home from school. She supplied me with saltines and drugs as well. I feel so blessed to have such amazing people around me who know just what I need and so willingly offer help when I am reluctant to ask. So I just want to give a quick and very sincere thank you to Melissa for being such a great friend!
