On Saturday we celebrated Austin's 4th birthday. What a big boy I have now. Time is flying by. And with each year, he gets a little easier. :) This year he wanted to have all boys at his birthday. He wanted a "boy birthday". He originally wanted a Curious George birthday, but after going to ALL of the stores in Idaho Falls, I could not find any Curious George stuff. Course I found them online and the wanted a million bucks for it. :) So his second theme he picked out was the military theme. We had a lot of fun with that. When the kids got there, they got a dog tag, a military metal, and some face paint on their faces. They got a kick out of that.
Everyone Dressed up for his birthday. Even baby Hannah put on some of her older brothers cameo. :) Everyone looked great.
Singing Happy Birthday to the birthday boy. He was so excited to turn 4.
We played all sorts of games. This one I was a drill Sergent and the boys had to do exactly what I said for boot camp. They LOVED IT. Unfortunately by the time we got the video camera running. They had run out of steam.

They had to throw their parachuted man into the landing zone.
They also had to get thier light sticks and search for the "injured soliders" in the basement.
They did a pinata, played hot grenade, and played Sergent says too. All the games were a hit. Then it was time to open presents. Usually the highlight of the night. :)
After it was all said and done Austin gave some love to his Sergent Mommy. We found out later that all the boys loved the party. One of them wouldnt take off his dog tag. EVER. One of them wouldn't take off his face paint till right before church on Sunday. And one of them told his mom, "it was better than my birthday, your birthday, dad's birthday, and my brothers birthday, all put together." Wow - that s a pretty good birthday. :)
Happy Birthday Austin

Okay, so I'm thinking that your job needs to be a party planner/caterer! Seriously girl, how did you come up with all that! I'm just going to hire you to do all my kids birthdays. :) (Caleb's is in December, btw). lol
Very Cute. He is such a funny kid. Whenever I am helping in sunbeams he just cracks me up.
Vanessa that was such a great idea! I really do think that you put the rest of us to shame. You can definitely see how much you love your kids. The time you put into them is phenomenal! Keep up the great work!
