Wait a minute, I have a FOUR year old? When did that happen? I guess I can kiss "feeling in my twenties" goodbye, and embrace the feeling of OLD.
Only kidding! Four is actually an interesting age. Although it sounds so long ago that I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, it still reminds me I have a little bit of that fun and adventurous side to me. Cohban brings out the inner child in me, even when I feel like I'm 40 most days.
4 years ago, God blessed us with our oldest, Cohban Douglas. He was quiet the first few minutes of being born, but that changed quickly. He's our wild child, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
He made the quite the entrance, not waiting for Daddy to come home from Kuwait, and was wrapped around his Mommy's fingers immediately.
Our four year old takes after his father with the love of movies, sports, and anything Disney. Last year I began thinking of ideas for Cohban's 4th birthday; Pizza Planet, All Things Toy Story, Sports, etc, but our four year old has a mind of his own, and the days of Mommy choosing the theme are long past us. Coh asked nicely for an Indiana Jones party, with all things "good guys and bad guys." He's all boy I tell you.
This could not have made Nick any happier. And the planning began!
We decided to plan both Maddie Lu's and Coh's birthdays on the same day. It was just easier for us, as well as having all the family in town already made it more convenient. So many ideas popped up in my head while planning the party, but simple took over, and I couldn't be any more happy.
We decided since it was a hot day in July the kids could enjoy a day splashing in the pool while celebrating with yummy food and great goodie bags.
Take a look and ENJOY:

Cohban Douglas, Cocomo, Coh Coh, Monkey, Munster, Brother, my little man- at four you have shown me what it means to live. Your days are filled with giggles, lots of energy, cuddles with sister, many many I love you's and I miss you's, crashing, jumping, learning, and sarcastic comments. You love dressing up as Super Heroes and Indiana Jones, running across the living room and whipping toys in sight. There's not a night that goes by that you don't ask to cuddle your Daddy because "You love him so much," and there's never a morning that you jump up and beg to wake your sister because "You just want to play with her!" Your heart is so sweet, and your hands are the perfect size to hold. I thank God every day for blessing us with you, and for all the greatest that YOU are. I pray that as life gives you challenges that you keep your faith in God, and keep singing "How great is our Lord" on top of your lungs. I pray that you keep the love in your heart, the joy in your eyes, and the peace in your smile. I pray that you succeed far beyond anything you dream of, and that you continue to live in your free spirit, wild child ways! What would a day be without all that energy afterall? I love you so much Monkey man, and I pray 4 is the best year yet!
