Are You Kidding Me?

Well, it is official, Jackson has been 4 for a whole week now. It isn't going to go away, so I might as well not prolong the pictures any longer. I just can't believe how fast these last four years have gone by. It just amazes me! Well here we go...

We started our day with Jackson waking me up at 6:51am saying, "Hey mommy, mommy!" "What honey?" "I'm FOUR!" Whispering the whole time, but clearly excited, and then he proceded to shove his four fingers in my face to make sure I could see them. I replied, "I know honey, Happy Birthday!" He then said he was going to tell daddy, and went over to the other side of the bed to try. It took a little longer to get daddy to wake up, but after saying "Daddy" at least five times, he finally was able to give the same information and do the same gesture with his hand, holding up only four fingers and shoving them in Aaron's face. Aaron proceded to say happy birthday and then Jackson and I went downstairs. He had a big day ahead of him, but I wanted to start his day with a present that he could use right away. Here he is, opening a new battery operated Superman Toothbrush and big boy Superman Toothpaste.

Then it was time to get Jackson and Aurora dressed so they could spend the day with Kiki, Uncle Tim, Isaiah, Isaac and Esther-Faith (aka Ezzy). Tim and his dad took the boys to a Cincinnati Red's baseball game and Auri and Ezzy spent the day with Kiki and NanaDot. Visit Karin's blog to see pictures from the day in Cincinnati. http://www.hennhouse.blogspot.com/. I went on to spend my day decorating Jackson's birthday cake, making Love Cookies, wrapping presents, and decorating Jackson's cake (and cookies) for the party to be held at Mimi and Papa's house later that evening. Here are some pictures of the birthday party!...

The CakeBlowing out the Candles

A Remote Control VW Bus!!!

From Mommy and Daddy, a Lady Bug House

From Mommy, Crayola Kid Paint. He has already painted four pictures!!

Two movies from Daddy! Garfield 2 and Over the Hedge

He also got "Happy Feet" from Aurora (since when we say "Happy Feet" she will dance and tap her feet on the floor).

From Mommy and Daddy, It is a little bug holder that has magnifying glasses so he can look at bugs really close without having to get so close to them. It also came with a fake bug that he absolutely loves!!!

From Kiki and Uncle Tim (and Isaiah, Isaac, and Ezzy). The original Lincoln Logs! He loves trying to build with these. I made him the fort that is pictured on the side of the container and he played with little cars and the buildings. He loved it!

From Mommy and Daddy! We have the movie Spiderman at our house, and even without watching it he decided that he was spiderman. So one day Aaron let him watch it and now he really thinks he is spiderman. So one night I was at work and saw this mask, gloves and foot things (that are actually for the swimming pool). Luckily they were clearenced so I got them for him. He hasn't worn them in water yet, but he wears them all over the place. Even out in public sometimes. It is cute, so I let him.

Well, I hope you have all enjoyed looking at the pictures from our fun day! Have a wonderful day yourself!!!
