Jake Turns 4!!!! The Party

How is it possible that my little Jakey Bear is now 4 years old!  Time sure goes by fast.  But what a fun little boy he is, and watching him grow up is a blast!  These days Jake adores superheroes.  Superman, Iron Man, Wolverine, Fantastic 4, Hulk, Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America...but if you ask him who his favorite is, he will always answer Spiderman!  For my birthday (sandy) in January Jake kept talking about Birthday cakes.  So we asked him what kind of cake he would like when his birthday comes, at first he answered Mickey Mouse...always a favorite for my boys.  But then his Aunt B mentioned that he could always get a Spiderman cake...Jake had an instant look of awe and excitement and from then until his Birthday he talked about having a Spiderman birthday.  :)  So we held to that and below are some wonderful pictures of his fun day.
Jake was Super excited because Ryan and I decided to rent him a Spiderman Bounce House for our backyard...saying he LOVED it would be a giant understatement.

His beloved Spiderman cake, he picked it out himself and was super proud that it was a cake surrounded by Spiderman cupcakes.  :)

So every year when we sing Happy Birthday to Jake he get uncomfortable, will hide, maybe cry...so this year I had no idea what we were in for.  But for the party we had bought the kids these Spiderman masks and Jake loved them and was wearing his on top of his head (as seen in previous pic) before we started to sing...his response, covering his face with the mask...worked pretty good.  :) 
Who is that masked man?!? 
 But it was all worth it once he got his long awaited Spiderman Cupcake
 Jake was also blessed with some wonderful gifts and it was so much fun watching him open them with his friends and start playing
 The bounce house was a HUGE hit.  The kids came into the house and immediately went to the backyard to bounce.  It was a great blessing that it was a really nice day and only got a little windy later on.  Jake had such a wonderful time and had so much fun with his friends.  :)

 Once the party was over and all of Jake's friends went home it was time to kick back, relax and watch Avengers...Jake's request of course.
 Then it was time for a good family bounce night before baths and bed.  :)  AJ thought it was really fun.  Poor little guy missed out on most of the party because we had it after swim lessons and so he was beat and slept for a few hours.  :)
 Jake having a great time bouncing with Grandma Peg and Pa Wayne...oh yeah, I think the adults had as much fun as the kids.  :)

 Too bad Jake is not having a good time
 Pa Gary enjoyed the bounce house too :)
 Although at a certain point a little boy is just done with the bounce house.  :)
A little football training from Pa... 
 Looks like it stuck.  :)  It was a Spiderman party but Jake always says that he is Spiderman and AJ is Superman...so therefore it made sense for AJ to wear his Superman shirt for the party.
Jake had such a wonderful time for his Birthday party and was so happy the whole day, it was a really awesome gift to give him.  But he still had his actually Birthday the next day.  Stay tuned for the rest of the celebration!  :)
