Birthday Madness!!

I'm not going to make an excuses to why I haven't posted in a while...things have seemed to slow down lately...they will be picking back up in the next few months though with TONS of exciting happenings for the Colson Family. First off, Adam got a job with the Dow Chemical Company which means three things...
1. We are staying in Texas
2. Which means we will be moving south to a town called Lake Jackson
3. Which does put us closer to the Gulf of Mexico and 'gulp' hurricanes!!
Around the time that Adam starts his job in July, we will have to move and then in August will welcome a new member to the family...we find out on the 4th of April if it will be a HE or a SHE! I am not going to lie, I would love to have a SHE, but i'm sure my son would love to have a HE! We will SEE!!!!!


On top of everything, our sweet, precious, little, baby boy is actually just a boy now!! Caleb turned 4 on March 7th and is an incredible ball of energy! I absolutely LOVE to hear what he will say next and believe me, the boy doesn't disappoint!! At 4 Caleb:
1. Still Loves trains...it's only limited to Thomas and Dinosaur Train.
2. Can play Angry Birds better than his Mom or Dad
3. Plays a mean air guitar...thanks to the Chipmunks!
4. Loves to read stories: a book called Cupcake is his current favorite and anything Dr. Seuss!
5. Has a small cheeseburger fetish...
6. Can still drink milk like a champ...must have some strong bones!!!
7. Still loves to cuddle with his momma and gives some world class kisses!!
8. Can put on the best bedtime plays...(adam and I just listen and laugh as Caleb lays in his bed and says the funniest things to his toys! Right now he is singing Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam!) NO JOKE!
9. Loves to jump on beds (thank you milk that there hasn't been any broken bones...that kid can JUMP!)
10. Is STUBBORN...case in point potty training...yes friends, Caleb is almost there...if only he will tell me when he has to go! I secretly think he is doing this to torture me!!! again STUBBORN!!!


We love our boy and are continually grateful that he was sent to our home! Caleb is a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day! He has been so much fun and we can't wait to see what year 5 brings us!!!
I decided that i wanted Caleb to have a little birthday party this year, seeing as how we were going to be movin on! I asked his babysitter if I could steal the kiddos on Caleb's day and she agreed to let me if she could come too! I took the day off from work, packed up some cupcakes and birthday treat bags and we headed off to Chuck-E-Cheeses!! It was PERFECT!! We were the only people there for almost the whole time! The kiddos had so much fun...I had a ton of fun too! There were some super fun games, the pizza wasn't horrible and Chuck-E-Cheese threw some entertaining concerts! Of course, Caleb wouldn't go anywhere near him and would scream at me if I even tried to get within 100 feet of the mouse! I guess we won't make it to Disneyland anytime soon!!! We came home, napped it up (I did too), and Ad come home and we had a little family party for Caleb. It was truly a fun day!

You can SEE the mischievous, stubborn look in his eye!!
Am I RIGHT?!?


The Chuck-E-Cheese Crew! Those cupcakes must've been pretty delicious to eat or pretty to look at...I couldn't get Caleb to look at the camera!


This is about as close as we got to the mouse...he is behind Caleb's head...WAAYYYYY back in the back!


The best thing about that day was Caleb's smile! He was SO happy and had such a fun time...I love birthdays!!!


Our set up at home with the Dinosaur Train!


Keep your eyes on the shirt...Caleb still does not wear pants at home about 74.3% of the time!


The Birthday Dinner...Need I say more?!?




I am in LOVE with that smile! I am so glad that Caleb was so excited...he takes after his momma! We are already counting down for next year!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!!
If I know myself, your dad, GMA, GPA, Nana, and Poppa, ALL of your birthday wishes will come true this year!!!
LOVE YOU!!


I also celebrated a birthday a week before Caleb's ragin party...Lovin those cupcakes!!


I told Adam that I wanted a relaxing day for my birthday! I got to take a nap, eat some fabulous Italian Food at my fav. Italian Joint, and was spoiled by my hubby and son! Caleb was super excited to give me his present...Zoobles! I have no idea what they are, Caleb picked it out for me, but I thought it was a wonderful gift! I had a GREAT 31st Bday!!!
