Happy Birthday Coley!


4 at last! Cole has been trying to grow up too fast his whole darn life. He just can't wait to catch up to Cai. Well he also has a hard time making decisions for himself. He had mentioned he wanted a Ben 10 Birthday party, which was exactly what Cai had. So I really wanted to be sure that what he decided for his party was all him.

What we ended up with was Monster Trucks, for the cake at least.
He finally decided on balloon plates and napkins instead of Transformer ones, and then for some reason he just really wanted the yellow horse pinata, and swimming instead of birthday party games. So we had a mish-mosh Coley Birthday far removed from my typical theme parties. But what mattered was he made every decision. He had been begging for a four-wheeler first for Christmas and then for his Birthday for a pretty long time. His cousin Gavin has one so he really wanted a blue one just like Gavin's. There hasn't been a day go by since that he hasn't riden the thing. He has started to try his hand at four-wheeler stunts. He started riding one-handed, then standing up, then fish tailing, then standing with his opposite leg on the gas pedal his opposite hand on the handlebars all spread eagle while he was driving. That was also about the time mom decided to limit our
stunts for safety sake. He is so funny, and fearless, and just my cute, silly, sparkly eyed Coley. What a boy he is!

Coley is just so precious. I love the mish-mash party idea and that you let him make the decision on what he wants to do for his birthday. He and Gavin will have to get together and go "riding". He is fearless and sounds like quite the stuntman. We love you sparkley eyed Coley!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!
