4 years and growing

yesterday was jay's 4th birthday.  i can't believe that he is getting so big and has already hit the 4 year mark.  i think we have perfected this birthday party thing.  since his birthday is during the summer months, we just blow up some pools and have water fun in the backyard.  this year we focused on kids his age so we didn't have so many people as we did last year.  we also decided we would try to do the party around lunch instead of the late afternoon, which worked out perfectly.  our theme this year was superheroes.  jay loves any type of superhero from the avengers to the marvel characters.
