He concentrates very hard when he colors. Much more patience with it than Raegan at this age.
This was my favorite activity. Turning an A into an alligator. 
We did lots of other activities, but Raegan was most proud of this one. She wrote her name at the top and found all the A's. 
One very proud little girl.
For those of you who would like to see other ideas, here is the website. I highly recommend it!!
The Minnie mouse cake
Our family portrait of the day
Patiently waiting for the candles to be lit so she could make her wish (which she announced that she wished for a Buzz Lightyear?!)
She insisted on "Vanna White"-ing all of her presents so everyone could see. 
Raegan and Elizabeth Nestel going down the slide. These two became instant friends at bible school. 
It was a little cold, but the kids didn't seem to notice. They all had a great time on this big water slide. And thankfully, we had no injuries!
And, no Raegan Roop party would be complete without a game of duck duck goose. She loves a good goose chase!
It takes lots of concentration...
and apparently, a couple of good guard dogs. 
One of the quieter (but messier) ways to enjoy the great outdoors.
She has been counting down the days until she could say she was 4, and that day came yesterday. Since Tony and some of our friends and family had the day off, we decided to take advantage and have a mini bowling party.
Here she is with her sweet little friend Jayden. These girls are princess crazy, and two peas in a pod!
Drew had lots of fun, even if the dinosaur chute was pink.
Daddy tried to give the kids some pointers on bowling. 
But they just really wanted to slide down the dinosaur.
Of course, a hot pink ball for the birthday girl.
Raegan loved the dinosaur chute, but Ryan preferred the old fashioned way. He even got a strike!
Since we only had 5 kids at the party, everyone got to blow out a candle.
That's a really big breath. She must have really wanted her wish to come true.
She tried to act shy while we sang Happy Birthday to her, but she really loved being the center of attention. And if you are wondering why there are two cakes... lets just say that this pregnant mama really wanted a DQ ice cream cake and Raegan didn't. We will call it a compromise :) 
I've been trying to remind myself of this during these potty training days, since I just cleaned up poop from my cream colored living room carpet today. (Good thing I got a carpet cleaner for my birthday :) He can go all day and night peeing in the potty, but the poop just can't seem to make it in the potty. The yard, the bathtub, the bathroom floor, his underwear, and now my carpet, but not the potty. Next house we have is definitely going to have hard floors and NO carpet! Good thing I love this little man so much!
Drew was a very good baby and even smiled right on cue :)
Of course, she needed a turn acting like the baby too. I don't know how she squeezed those long legs into this little basket, but she did it.
