Colten's 3rd Birthday

One more game...pin the car on the race track. Colten wasn't very good at this one. But he had fun being spun around by his daddy. And he got to be Lightning McQueen so he was pumped up!

The famous race car cake! Colten was so excited when he saw the cake. He actually ran around the house looking for his racing shirt and put it on and told me that Tyler (a race car driver my parents know) was coming to his party and was going to let him sit in his race car...the poor guy was crushed to find out that wasn't happening...but he loved the cake!)

I also made these cute little candy cars. I even thought about those kids allergic to peanuts, but kinda forgot that alot of kids Colten's age don't know how to chew gum. I caught one little girl after she had eaten 3 pieces! OOOOOPS!


Colten loved all the attention when we sang 'Happy Birthday' to him. I can remember him just looking at me and smiling from ear to ear! Doesn't he look so old in this picture!!!!


Colten had a slew of presents to open. Matt helped him out with them. It was funny cause while he was opening all his presents all the other kids were checkin out the 'loot'! It was the funniest thing! I love the chocolate on his face too!

It's a good thing he got this microphone for his birthday. He had to use it after each present to say 'thank you' to his friends. Most of the time you still couldn't hear him though!
After all the presents were opened Colten couldn't wait to play with his toys...either that or Tom couldn't wait to help him play with his toys, I'm not sure which????

What a party! On his actual birthday, which was Wednesday, we got to go to the airport, to pick up Matt. Colten was excited about that because he loves airplanes. On the way home we asked him where he wanted to go for his birthday and he said, "Hobby Wobby, do they have food there?" We didn't go to 'hobby wobby' we ended up going to escapades. Matt loved it cause he got to chase him all through the tunnels, might be a little sarcastic there. But Colten mastered it on his own and didn't need any assistance from us. I've already decided next year's going to be a little more low key! It was fun but expensive in the end!
