lil' c turns four


caleb celebrated his birthday earlier this month. this is something he looks forward to all year and asks about every month. thus, you can imagine how excited caleb was when june rolled around and rumblings of his birthday started to make their way into the cooper household. caleb decided he wanted a transformers party and so we (and when i say we, i really mean aimee) happily obliged.

it was fun for the kids but complete and utter chaos for the adults. we have a rather small house and backyard, but it works for us most of the time. caleb's b-day party was not one of those times. i think aim invited twenty something kids. luckily only about fifteen or so showed up... but even fifteen little persons made the house feel much smaller and louder than it usually is (but not by much).

one noticeable absentee was caleb's uncle ryan (i told you this was coming). i can't resist giving my brother in-law ryan a hard time over this, but apparently, with studying for the bar, going out to the lake and all, uncle rybie only had time for one party that weekend and apparently we were up against a "fancy nancy" party (don;t ask me what fancy nancy is lest ye forget i have three boys).

what are the odds? so, without hesitation, i think we can all understand why rybie would choose to go to the "fancy nancy" little girl's birthday party instead of his nephew's "transformers" birthday party. actually, we can't... at least i can't. i mean, i know his mom's name is "nancy" and all, but c'mon??? transformers v. fancy nancy??? tea party v. things that turns into robots and then fight each other while blowing things up??? i think i'll have to be taking that man card from you (says the guy who enjoys blogging and interior decorating). maybe we'll do a "bratz" b-day for colston.

disclaimer: there is nothing wrong with being fancy, having the name nancy or little girls having birthday parties centered around being fancy and having the name nancy. nothing at all. it's both totally cute and totally adorable. it's even more cute and more totalier adorable when a grown man gets into it. if i have conveyed anything other than this in my post, it was not my intent and i invite you to have a cup of tea with me over some manis and pedis sometime so i can apologize in person.

enjoy the pics and video.

Transformers are brutal, merciless, overlords of oppression. Kinda like Kenna when she wants us to work on the yard. And frankly, I got enough of that last summer.

And lets be honest. Who of us doesn't want to sit around and dish about the neighbors while we get a mani-pedi. Don't let jer fool you, he was jealous.
