My little man turns 4!

Due to my dad being in the hospital on Stetson's birthday this year; Stets got TWO parties! My dad was hit by a truck yesterday while riding his bike. He has some broken bones that required surgery and he will be down for a while but he is definitely not out--My dad is a trooper and always an example to all of us of strength and courage. We are very grateful that he will recuperate and don't you worry, he will be back on his bike in no time at all!

See what I mean about being a trooper? This picture was taken in the ER right before he went in for surgery. We are so glad you are ok dad--we love you LOTS and LOTS!

We made a small birthday cake to take to the hospital and spent the afternoon with my mom and dad to celebrate. As you can see.....Stets thought the cake was pretty YUMMY!

He has been asking for the remote control Buzz Lightyear for WEEKS and he was sooooo excited to unwrap his present and find none other than the remote control Buzz!! See how big this toy is...Stets fit inside the box!
This contraption takes 14 batteries and it took all of us adults to figure out where they all went...while Stetson impatiently waited nearby.
We left the hospital and came home for Stetson's second party with the rest of our family that live close enough to make it and a couple of friends came too. We gave him the Buzz costume and it was a HIT. As soon as he saw what it was he started ripping his clothes off as fast as he could to put it on. It comes complete with inflatable wings and I have already had to remind him that just because he now has wings DOES NOT mean he is allowed to jump off of the furniture!!

He was spoiled with so many gifts! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support us. We have such great friends and family.
Here's the party decor...nothing fancy.... We got Toy Story frisbees for all of the kids that came. Stets was so excited to hand them out to everyone.
Last but definitely not least because they took so much work...THE CAKES The one on the left is a spaceship and hopefully you can tell the one on the right is the earth. The small dot of green frosting you can see on the left of the earth is NOT a mistake....as Skylar so lovingly reminded me tonight; it is HAWAII. My mistake.

Planning a small party for a 4 year old is hard work! I am exhausted and I can hear a hot bubble bath calling my name right about NOW. Thanks again to everyone who came out to support us and for thos that called who couldn't come. Also, thanks for everyone who sent thoughts, well wishes and prayers out for my dad and the rest of our family. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Happy Birthday my little man.
