Landon Turns 4!!! and a Few Other Funny Pics!!!

This post is mainly Landon's birthday party, but I also wanted to show some pictures that I took last week of Landon and Addi playing dress up. They were being sooo silly and put on these outfits because they were getting ready to dance. One day, Landon will despise this picture I am sure!! :)

On Saturday we had a great time celebrating Landon's birthday!! This was the first year that Landon had friends there other than family and it was a lot of fun. We are so thankful for all those who could come. Aunts, Uncles and cousins were all there in addition to our neighbor Tracy and her two girls Ashlyn and Felicia, and friend from church Becca with her two kids Evan and Summer. Landon was sooooo excited all day for his party and it was so much fun to watch his anticipation, even though he was VERY WILD and CRAZY! Landon got lots of fun gifts and his big gift was from mom and dad as well as family members who also wanted to help with its purchase. We got Landon a Ford F-150 Monster Traction truck from Powerwheels and he LOVES it!!!! I wasn't sure how he would do with it, since he has never ridden in one before. He has sat in them before at the toy store, but that is all. My mom got him a car two years ago for Christmas that you push with your feet and he drove it pretty good. Well, when he got in his truck, he was a natural driver! He did not hesitate at all, but got right in and took off. It was sooo fun to watch. He even backs up so well correcting turns, etc. It is so funny to watch him go and it was worth every penny! Thanks to all who came to his party and made it so much fun, and thanks to our family who is far away who sent gifts to help us celebrate! We love you all!!!!

Addi looking so pretty in her princess dress!


Andi snapped this picture while Addi was pretending to go to sleep, I thought it was sweet.


Landon showing off his favorite color dress, purple!


I told them to make silly faces! So funny!


Addi showing me all of her pretty dress!


Landon will definately not like these someday!


Landon decided he wanted A Firetruck Birthday Party, so that is what we did. This is the first year he has really had an opinion or really known that his party was coming up. The anticipation was killing him!



I tried to get a group picture of the kids at the party. I think this is everyone except for Kaori and Summer.


Landon and Ashlyn awaiting the cake!! Ashlyn is only 10 days older than Landon.


Here comes the cake!!!!


Landon loved his cake and was eager to blow out the candles!


This is also the first year he blew out all his candles all by himself! It was big year!!


Was he excited or what????


Evan watching the birthday fun!


Landon opening his gifts! He got lots of fun toys!!

Landon got the Bee movie and of course cars and trucks!




I think Mary Paul wanted more cake, she has a sweet tooth like me!!


Landon did not hesitate at all about hopping in his new ride!


Checking it out before getting in!


A face right after the reveal!!


Discovering his new truck!!


Happy, Happy , Happy!!!!!!


Kaori and her proud Daddy!


Landon took to driving with no problem!


He took Addi with him on his first ride and Ashlyn couldn't wait for her turn!


Landon giving his little sister a ride!!! So funny!



Then, Landon gave Mary Paul a ride and she loved it!!!!



Lastly, Landon gave Ashlyn and ride and they have been riding everyday since!!



Mike and Addi watching the action!!


Landon riding and riding!!


After a while of riding, he finally wanted some cake. Pretty silly face!


Riding again!


I loved these posing pictures with his new ride. You can tell he is very proud of his new wheels!!!



He is such a funny driver because he acts like he is turning on the radio and he loves to look at people watching him instead of the road. He makes some silly faces!



Mary Paul having some fun running in the yard!


Here he is backing up and watching which way to turn. He is even a good driver in reverse. A natural, which is good since he LOVES cars and trucks soooo much! I told him this truck was a monster traction truck just like monster trucks. He corrected me saying that it was not a monster truck, only a pick up truck because it could not jump. I quickly agreed and said, YES it can NOT jump! Hopefully, I won't come out one day and he is trying to jump this truck!!!


Happy 4th Birthday to our sweet Landon!!!!!!
