Happy 4th Birthday Logan

Our baby is 4 years old!

Logan gets our traditional family party
Looking at this picture I realize our kids are all getting much bigger
Hot Wheels is the theme.
We went to HEB and he started by looking at the cakes.
First he saw Strawberry Shortcake and he yells I want this one!
Then he sees Disney Princess and yells I want this one!
Then he saw Ninja Turtles and he yells I want this one!
I started to see a trend that he wanted every and any cake that he saw!
Once he saw the Hot Wheels, he said I want cars! I asked him if he wanted Mater and Lightening and he said no, Hot Wheels!
Hot wheels won

There is no shortage of hot wheels in this house.
Logan counted down the sleeps until he was going to see Colby
Easy decorations and even the wall paint color matched



Larson was in charge of games
Boy, thats a surprise.
This is Jordan's Madonna outfit.
We had Grandma Pat on skype so she could be with us at the party.

Cake
and ice cream
Logan was very excited to blow out the candles.
We are starting to see some of Larsons energetic personality in Logan
Oh, so many presents! The next day he was so cute taking each one and playing so nicely with them all. Uncle Chris went a little crazy with the play dough and art supplies but thats what he likes and has been using them every day.
Logan ran up stairs and came back down with his hat on.
Photo Booth shots!

We ended the night with his pinata. I sometimes really love the string pull ones but I think it bums the kids out. So more candy has arrived at our house. I dont think our home is ever candy free.
Logan had a great night. So blessed to have family here and our good friends the Hansons. Sam and Logan pretty much do most things together!
Logan at 4 may be registering at the age of 8! You cant contain him or stop him from doing what the other kids do. Its cool in most ways but I do feel like you miss out on a lot of the little toddler events. Thats just the pecking order of being the baby in the family.
Logan does well in speech, school, and church classes.
Like I said, we are really starting to see a very outgoing personality and very excitable about almost anything.
I cant help the fact that my 4 year old talks about hunting and killing deer. I swear I went to get him out of bed and he had a flashlight and a deer and hunting magazine in bed with him. Isnt he suppose to be into the Mickey Mouse Club House???
He is definitely the baby of the family and gets the most attention from all of us. He is cute and we love him even if he does not realize he is only 4!

Chuck E Cheese

Today our Logan turned 4!
Chuck E Cheese was an easy decision for us as they are running ads on TV like crazy and Logan would always see them. Since moving to Austin we have never done Chuck E Cheese because we have Main Event.
Larson has always felt like he was short changed on the never being able to go to Chuck E Cheese so we were able to quiet 2 kids down with one visit
Chuck E Cheese gets a bad rap but this event could not have been better. We have a new one and it is very clean inside. There are so many games that are catered more to the younger kids. At Main Event Logan is flying through space on a Star Wars game or shooting something.
Not at Chuck E Cheese.
Such fun cute games and rides!
Logan invited his one friend Sam. I think that Sam quite enjoyed his time there also. They both loved this game in particular.

Logan turned 4 years old and has been so good lately. Maybe he just needed to go from 3 to 4 to straighten out a little. He has been unbelievably sweet the last few weeks.
Jackson and Larson were able to come with us because they had early release from school. Jordan had musical rehearsal. She was really upset because she couldnt stand the thought of not being able to celebrate and see Logan.
I assured her she would be at his family party in a couple of days.
Larson really enjoyed himself and thought Logan was so cute. Jackson was such a big brother just making sure that Logan knew how to play the games. Jackson was really good at winning lots of tickets for Logan.
This was one of the last ride/games we played. We ended up doing it a few times as it was making Logan laugh so hard. What a great way to end the day.
2 big brothers so proud of their little brother Logan.

Stake Dance

Another weekend, another dance.
My Jordan loves the dances and looks forward to them all.
Tonights theme was football.
Jordan so cute her in Gamecock Jersey
I use to wear this bow when I was at school there.
Fun to see her wearing it now!
