Caden's Buggy 4th Birthday -- The Action

Before we started the party Caden got to open two presents. He got green light-up sketchers from Grandma and Papa G. He had been asking for them and I was NOT going to buy those crazy things. But they make him so happy...so we will go with it :) And he got a skateboard from Pat, Blake and I. He loves it! And is getting more comfortable on it the more he practices.





The day before his birthday he kept saying that I needed to make sure he had a party hat to wear. Well I didn't have one and couldn't find one at the few places we have here in town. So Grandma and Papa came through. They picked one up on their way to our house and he loved it.

Me and my birthday boy! I can't believe that this baby is 4!!!! He is so independent and stubborn and sensitive and smart and handsome and silly and creative. The list could go on and on. He amazes me everyday with the way his mind works and the things he can do without me. He will always be my little man and I love him more and more.



We love having our family around so that Blake has someone to bond with while we are busy keeping the party going. Blake spent a lot of time with his Papa G that day. He loved the balloons so much...funny, cause he hated them at his party only 2 months ago.

Auntie Meagan drove home from the Gorge in time to make it to the party! Thanks for coming and spending time with us on Caden's big day.




As the kids came to the party they started working on their bug buckets. Caden got a head start cause he couldn't wait to start crafting!


Then after antenna's were made and buckets were decorated they all went on a plastic insect hunt!





Blake got to watch it all happen and eat LOTs of snacks!




Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Caden, Happy Birthday to you! Make a wish! Now dive in and eat some cake!

A backyard party at our house wouldn't be complete without the bouncy house...


the swingset....


and the sand table!


Finally Caden had waited long enough and got to open his presents. He was spoiled and he got so many things that he just loves and needs. Thanks to all his wonderful friends and our amazing family who are such important pieces of his life and growth!


Finally he enjoyed a dirtcup and some gummy worms!


And he gave his best girl Emerson a kiss goodbye!
