Cade's 4th Birthday Party!

We celebrated Cade's 4th birthday over the weekend, even though his real birthday isn't for a few more days. He has been SO funny about this party. He has wanted to plan in down to the tiny details...he picked out his theme (Transformers), his cake, he stuffed the pinata, told me who to invite....you name it! He was so incredibly excited about this and he really wanted it here at the house. I personally do not get too fired up about kid parties at the house and thought that we were done with those, but apparently not!

Here he is stuffing his pinata, the day before the party.

Cannon sampling the suckers.

Carson and Cade being silly....Carson was pretty fired up for Cade's party too.

We were all so excited that Jill, Ryan and Koen got to come to the party!! They have never been able to come to any of the kids' parties, so this was so special to all of us!

Me and sister...could we be any shinier?

Katy and Ridge also came in on Friday night for the party. I am so sad that I don't have any pics of Ridge with the boys. If you have any, send them to me!! He went down for a nap right before the pinata and that is about when I started taking pictures. Anyway, Katy was a huge help with my boys that morning while I tried to get dressed and get ready for the party. HUGE thanks for that, lady!!

The kids all played on the waterslides and had lots of fun!

Some old friends and neighbors got to catch up!!

The three amigos...Love this picture!


And this one too!
Sillly boys!

Cade having fun!

Then we did the pinata (which looked quite dangerous...luckily, there were no injuries!). Abby took a swing.

Cade took many swings...and had a very HARD time letting other kids hit his pinata!! Little stinker was crying over that!!

Morgan went to town on the pinata!

I think that they all enjoyed the candy!

Jay Banks with a sucker....he is so cute!


When it came time to sing happy birthday to Cade, he was just the SWEETEST!! He had the biggest smile on his face and was SO PROUD. I got tears in my eyes just watching him!! I love this little guy to pieces!!

Sweet brothers having some ice cream!

This one is too cute for words!

Cannon, Koen and Sloan...all cute little guys!Cannon and the hose...shocker.Cannon and the slip n slide stakes...he is obsessed with these things!!Cannon getting some love from Daddy.

Cade got so many awesome gifts! He has been in heaven all weekend. Here he is laying under his McQueen blanket with his McQueen pillow, watching his movie, DURING the party!! That didn't last for very long...

He was a great sport though and shared with all of his friends. Here, Uncle Ryan is showing Abby something.

Koen took a nap and came back for round two. We pulled out the slip n slide at this point and the kids loved it.

This one cracks me up!
We had an awesome time and thanks to all of you for making sweet Cade feel so loved and special!! It was EXACTLY what he wanted his birthday party to be like!!
