Stratton’s Birthday Party :: #4

Today we had Stratton’s last party at Hickory Ridge with my dad’s side of the family. We went to church and then had lunch and cake at my mom and dad’s house. Stratton got a Motorcycle! He Loves motorcycles! He got a laptop (a leapfrog one-not a real one) and some books and clothes. But the show stopper was the John Deere Tractor that his Pops and Gigi got him. It actually has a gas pedal- which is going to take some work. But he did pretty good, he rode it around in their yard for awhile. This particular gift will be staying at Pops and Gigi’s house for the time being! I don’t know where we would put it, it’s definitely too big to ride in our house!

Mr. Independent

It took 3 men to put the plastic motorcycle together!

Cool!!

He gets going good and then kicks his feet up and coasts!

Here come the BIG one! Waiting with his eyes closed!

WOW!

A John Deere tractor with a wagon!

Gigi made him a tractor cookie cake! Yummy!

Stratton’s Birthday Party :: #3

Stratton went to Nan and Pa’s house on Thursday and had a big time! He got to spend lots of time with Archer, too. Then Jarrod and I went to Searcy Saturday for his party with Jarrod's family. This party was Mickey Mouse themed, big thanks to Margie for getting the cake an decorating so cute. The best part of the night was when Jarrod took the remote to his new remote-controlled fire truck so he could put batteries in it and it made Stratton mad and he starting crying and calling “Nan!” when Margie came in the living room to see what was wrong she asked him “What’s the matter, Stratton?” He looked and pointed accusingly Jarrod and said, “HIM!”. . . we were all just about to die from laughing!! That boy is such a mess!!

He got all kinds of fun stuff! I kitchen from Nan and Pa, and a big art center from Aunt Jen, Uncle Daniel and Archer. And this awesome [enter sarcasm], and really loud remote- controlled fire truck, Thanks Uncle Keith! It took 4 grown men 2 hours to put it together and get it going! haha!

Need some help dad?

I guess he needed some quiet time. . .we found him in the closet by himself reading. The dictionary and the Guinness Book of World Records!
