Side note funny: I told Jett after his birthday on Wednesday that we were having his Birthday party on Saturday. He looks up at me wide-eyed..."Mommy, I am turning 5 already." How adorable.
Okay, back to the party. There is nothing sweeter for a parent than to see pure joy on your child's face. We have been saving money for a few years to get the boys a playground. We finally broke open the piggy bank and got it for their combined birthday gifts this year. Greg won dad of the year for all of his blood, sweat and tears building it. The directions said 5-7 hours...or 4 days- whatever! It was the focus of play for the kids UNTIL...

HE GOT THE JOHN DEERE GATOR! It was actually another combined birthday gift, but mostly for Jett because it was our big bribe during the whole potty training catastrophre. I am still shuddering at the thought. Anyway, the kids had a great time getting rides by the birthday boy himself. Only a few toes and a fence post were injured in the beginning minutes of driving. They of course needed their shades for the trip...and their cups...huge necessities in any vehicle, ya know. You should have seen him whip the gator into reverse. It was like he'd been driving for years.

Here is a video clip of Jett getting the gator. Needless to say, he was a little excited!

such a cute clip of the kids on the gator. looks like tons of fun :) can you believe you have a 4 year old?! Time flies.
that is adorable. he was elated. Greg did a great job on the playground too.
Way to go Dad.
The John Deere Gator must be a popular gift...Isaac got one for his bday, only the kid is 2 so it's gonna take him about 2 more years to learn to drive the thing! ha! Happy birthday Jett!!
