Officially Four

April 7, 2008 by Elaine

The B Man had his birthday party yesterday, so now he is “officially” four. By the way, if you want a deep discounted party at The Little Gym, have them double book you and then ask you to reschedule for the following day! Just a little tip for you there! (please notice the sarcasm… UGH!)

So… the celebrating is finally over but being 4 comes with some responsibilities you know.

He now has to take his own pictures:


Wash his own “ride.”


And even do his own gardening (well, with a little help from Grandma…) My parents came up for the weekend so they could attend the party and see their 4-year old Grandson (oh, and the baby one too…)

Here they are with the birthday boy.
And here are a few fun moments from the party…

I love this picture because it looks like Cooper is trying to immitate the picture behind him!

Sydney does a little flip with some help from her Mommy

Little G had fun with the balls

Ben got “wrapped” up like a present in the parachute!

For some reason Chandler (Ben’s Godfather) became a target for the kids Notice the balls in the air? They are all headed for him!

Blowin’ out the candles!

Friends Kirstyn & Trinity (notice the blue frosting lips!) Here’s the whole family (poor Little G has “red nose” from being sick)

The B Man had a great party despite the change in day and time it worked out great and he was so glad to have his friends there to celebrate with him!

And… apparently once you turn 4 you don’t need breakfast – he didn’t want anything to eat until around 10 a.m. today. Or maybe it’s just that you are too busy playing with your new toys and games… Thanks Everyone!

Now I am takin’ a short break from the birthday madness, for a few weeks anyway, until Little G’s FIRST birthday comes around. Here we go again!

    That stinks on the party scheduling conflict but thank goodness it all worked out. Looks like they all had a great time.

    That’s a great family picture but poor G’s nose! Hope he’s feeling better.

    My boys b-days are only 20 days apart. I know the birthday madness well. It’s nice to get it all over with though 😉

    I am so glad that Ben finally smiled for a picture and just in time for a great family shot! Kirstyn had a great time at the party… and I love that picture of Kirstyn and Trinity! The one of Cooper with the poster behind him is way cool! Thanks again for a great party. The kids loved it!
