Jackson's Boot Camp Birthday

This year for J's 4th birthday we had a "Boot Camp" party. I was really happy and pleased with how everything turned out, well except for the weather! I found a store going out of business on e-bay that was selling camo t-shirts for a buck each! Now that is what you call bargain shopping!! So each of Jackson's friends got a t-shirt when they arrived. I also ordered some dog tags, and camo stretchy bracelets(like the Live Strong yellow ones), and cute camo pencils that said "Jackson's 4th Birthday." My mom brought some big fabric rolls that Noah cut for us and we glued them together and then deco-podged with camo material and added a leather strap and boom-binoculars for each kiddo.

I thought my tank cake turned out pretty cute. Jackson Loved it, so that is really all that matters!
Miss. Macie eyeing the cake.....the girl loves her some frosting!

My best attempt at holding/head locking her for a pic. No luck, she was too, too busy.

We gave all the kids some camo face paint, tank and rank stripe tattoos also.

We made the kids go in the backyard on the swing set for our "obstacle course." They had to go across the monkey bars, up the ladder and down the slide to get their "medal of honor" sticker they needed to get pizza. Uncle Casey giving Jax a hand across the monkey bars.

Getting ready to light the candles!

Blowin' them out! It was so funny, when we all started singing Happy Birthday he looked around at everybody staring at him and just crawled under the table. I had to hold him while we finished serenading him. Silly kid!

Gifts, gifts and more gifts! He is one blessed little boy!! I am pretty sure we now own every Hot Wheels brand toy they make!

I found this tank pinata at the party store. It matched perfect and the kids loved whacking it. Practicing his swing for t-ball(post coming soon by the way!).

We had those grenade looking water balloons too, but the weather was rainy and chilly of all days. We ended up moving the whole thing into our garage, but all in all I think it worked out just fine.

Happy 4th Birthday handsome boy! You have no idea how much you mean to us. You are a blessing beyond belief. You bring so much laughter into our lives. You have a heart of gold and are the best cuddler. I can't believe 4 years has somehow flown by already. We love you to the stars and back buddy and can't wait to see what amazing things are in store for you! Thank you for just being you and making our lives so much brighter.
