Max Turns 4...almost


On Sat we had Max' 4th Birthday party. We had such a fun time with family and friends. One of the big milestones was that we told Max he could ride a skateboard when he turns 4. He loves his new skateboard and is excited to learn how to ride it. Of course my camera was almost out of batteries and it was crazy busy so I didn't get many pictures. The one thing Max asked for was a spider pinata. Not a spiderman, but a spider. I called every shop and went to many Halloween stores and no spider pinatas. So we had to make one! Considering that I haven't done paper mache since 4th grade I thought it came out pretty good. I couldn't find duct tape to make it a little stronger so i used dry wall tape...needless to say, the kids couldn't break it, but everyone got a turn :) Max' actual birthday is Tues so we are surprising him with a family trip to Disneyland! I will be sure to take pictures then!!
Here is Max helping make his cake...he loves to help in the kitchen, and is really not too bad at it.
Max liked his Phineas and Ferb cake...not quite what I had in mind, but not to bad either...it tasted yummy :)
Max and his many girl friends on the water slide! Enough said :)
The cake
The pinata. Max helped cover it in black and make his eyes and fangs. He was so excited when he got to stuff it full of candy and help make it.

Wow I can't believe Max is 4! It was good to see you guys this Summer and hopefully we can make it down that way sometime soon or you guys can visit your uncle up here in Carson Valley and stop by.
