...but i have no pictures of it because they were all taken with my phone. and i don't know how to transfer pics from my phone to my computer because i'm THAT technologically challenged. also, i don't own that cord.
oh look! i figured it out. phew. ok so there is jasper peter parker with his Spiderman cake. not too shabby for a self-proclaimed horrible cake artist. just don't look too close. that's the general rule when it comes to my cake-decorating endeavours. don't look too close.
so jasper thought that was pretty cool. not that he ate it. he had a little frosting, but that's about it. not much for CAKE.
he had fun at his party - we even got the Spiderman bouncy house...which i also have no pictures of. am i an award-winning mother or what? 
anyway, he seemed to like his presents...particularly the iPad his uncle bought for him. i like it, too. and since i'm evil and i can't accept my 4 year old having an iPad, i always correct him when he says, "where's my iPad?" i say, "You mean MOMMY'S iPad?" and then he scowls at me and says, "It's MY iPAD!!!"
he's so bossy. don't know where he gets that.
so here's the deal: our little growing jasper is now 4. he's about an inch shy of being taller than his sister, he loves all things Spiderman, Scooby-Doo, Power Rangers and Star Wars. he says "Dude". he can be exceptionally sweet when he wants to be. example: some times he'll just come up to me out of nowhere and say, "Mommy, i LOVE you. and i love Daddy and Annie, too." and just yesterday we asked Annie to please feed Ferris and Jasper said, "I'll do it because I love Ferris. Ferris is my buddy. I love him." and then gave Ferris his food and said, "Here you go, Ferris-buddy." and then gave him a hug. so sweet.
then again, he can also be a little pouting, sulking, angry handful. why, just the other day he freaked out AT THE MOVIES when we got MILK DUDS (one of his favorite candies)...because we weren't getting two candies. honestly. i mean, on the one hand i get it. you gotta have your chocolatey candy and your sweet-sour candy. i get it. we have pretty much drilled that in to them every friday night for movie night. but still. we're taking you to the movies, little dude. we're buying you one of your favorite candies. you are NOT ALLOWED to throw a fit. but throw a fit he did. and then i find myself being that mom who says, "should we go sit in the car?" and "do you want to just go home?" knowing full well that i have every intention of staying for the movie. *sigh* but, as i often tell myself - and addison: he's just 4.
but he's my favorite 4 year old on the planet. i love him so much i could just squeeze the teeth right out of his smile. ok, that's a bit much. you get the point. love. that. child.
