Britney Spears revved up the celebration for sons Sean Preston and Jayden James on Saturday, throwing her sons a joint car and truck-themed birthday bash in Los Angeles. And the party was truly a family affair. Britney celebrated her boys' special days – Preston turns 3 on Sept. 14, and Jayden turned 2 on Sept. 12 – with sister Jamie Lynn Spears, her newborn niece Maddie Briann, dad Jamie and mom Lynne.
Held at close friend Adrienne Maloof-Nassif's Beverly Park house, the outdoor party drew some famous guests, including Jenny McCarthy with her son Evan, and Gwen Stefani's son Kingston, 2, who came to the bash from an equally starry affair: He celebrated Heidi Klum's son Henry's 3rd birthday at the model's Beverly Hills house along with all three of Victoria Beckham's sons.
But the guests of honor seemed to be having the best time. Preston and Jayden drove around the party in mini motorized cars, which were customized Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier. The cars featured tattoo-inspired decals, Ed Hardy air fresheners and personalized license plates. To keep with the party's theme, the cake was in shape of a yellow truck. "The boys received tons of birthday gifts," a source told PEOPLE. "Britney and her family really made the party special for the boys."

Britney Spears, her two boys Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, and her dad, Jamie Spears, visit friends in Bel Air, Friday afternoon. Britney, 26, has two visits and one overnight per week.
Actress Isla Fisher, 32, took 9-month-old daughter Olive to Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills on Monday, where the pair giggled on the swings before heading over to the trees to read books in the shade. Dad is Sacha Baron Cohen.
Jennifer Garner took smiley, pigtailed daughter Violet Anne, 2 ½, to the Huntington Art Gallery and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California on Monday, where they explored the grounds and learned about various flowers. Jennifer, 36, and husband Ben Affleck expect their second child this winter.
Actress and author Tori Spelling, 35, and 17-month-old son Liam Aaron visited a Malibu playground on Saturday afternoon. Liam enjoyed swinging in the sun with dad Dean McDermott. The family just grew to four with the birth of daugher, Stella in June. (She was not at the outing.)
In his first public appearance since he was granted sole custody of his two sons with Britney Spears earlier this month, Kevin Federline hit the links Tuesday.
Asked how he is doing these days, the single dad told PEOPLE: "Been having a good summer, I can't complain." Kevin, 30, who spoke to PEOPLE at skateboarder Ryan Sheckler's X Games Celebrity Skins Classic, outside L.A., said he's been balancing career and parenting. "I've worked here and there a little bit," he said. "Definitely staying at home with the family."
As for how sons Jayden James, 1 1/2, and Sean Preston, 2 1/2, are doing, Kevin said, "They're good." He was tight-lipped, however, when it came to Britney or how he's moved on from their court battle. A July 18 agreement ended the nearly two-year case, with Kevin retaining sole custody of the boys, and his spousal support being bumped up to $20,000 from $15,000. "I'm not here to talk about that," he said.
Kevin, who played the Trump National Golf Club course with a friend, wore baggy shorts and sneakers, smoked cigarettes off the golf course, drank iced coffee, and drove his own golf cart. He took practice shots on the driving range before the game, but both of his shots on Hole in One competition missed.
"I tried to warm up before I got here, but..." Kevin laughed. "It's going to be one of those up-and-down days. We'll have to see how it goes." He also said on the red carpet, with a smile, that his children know when their father is at play. "They know when daddy's golfing," he said.
Kevin was mum about his future work plans. His last rap CD, Playing with Fire, came out in 2006. The musician said he's still a hip-hop fan. "I don't know, I'm going to make everybody wait on that," Kevin said. "I'm not revealing any work strategy right now."

Britney Spears and her ex Kevin Federline have reached a custody settlement in their epic court battle over their two sons. According to the agreement, which still needs to be signed off on by the court, Kevin retains sole custody of the couple's two sons, Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2. Britney – who's currently allowed two visits and one overnight per week – will keep her visitation rights.
"The case has been settled," Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan (working with attorney James Simon), tells PEOPLE. "This is the end of a two-year journey." Britney's attorney, Laura Wasser, said outside the courtroom after the hearing: "Britney's doing great. She's very pleased [with the settlement]. The kids are with her right now." Without giving details, Wasser confirmed that Brit did win "more custodial time" with the boys.
"Until the kids turn 18, we can expect in years to come that Britney and Kevin will be back in court," says L.A. family lawyer Lynn Soodik, who is not involved with the case. "Britney will have a better chance of winning more custody once she regains her health. This is just the end of Round One." E! was first to report the couple's settlement.

It was a family affair Saturday as Lynne Spears hung out with Britney and her sons Sean Preston, 2 ½, and Jayden James, 1 ½, for an overnight visit at the star's Studio City home. In town since Wednesday, Lynne and Britney have been enjoying some mother-daughter bonding, shopping at the True Religion warehouse and Pottery Barn on Friday before enjoying a "girls dinner" of salad, sushi rolls, and fish at Bond St. restaurant with two of Britney's pals.
"Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff," says an observer. "She looked gorgeous, and I have never seen her in a better mood. She was laughing the whole time she was here. Britney seemed to have the best time hanging out with her mom and friends." Meanwhile, dad Jamie spent the weekend at his new house in Santa Monica.

Britney Spears wants to move from her L.A. house to "a lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood," according to a court document filed by her co-conservators, father Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet. The singer would like a home "more accessible to parks and recreation areas" for her children, Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, the document says.
Saturday night was the first time Sean and Jayden spent an overnight visit with Britney, 26, since she was hospitalized at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in January. The sale of her L.A. home would be in "the best interest of [Spears], her Estate and her minor children," the document says.
Earlier this month, Britney was granted permission to sell the six-bedroom home. At the time, mom Lynne told the court that her daughter "intends to return to Louisiana," her home state. Meanwhile, Britney and ex Kevin Federline are preparing for a custody trial, set to begin August 25. Kevin currently has primary custody of their children.

Britney Spears was awarded overnight privileges with her sons, PEOPLE confirms. The pop star hasn't had her children overnight since January following her forced hospitalization at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
A closed-door hearing Tuesday, attended by Britney and her ex, Kevin Federline, also saw the return of Britney's first divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, who has officially replaced Stacy Phillips. L.A. Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini confirmed that Brit's parenting coach attended the hearing and made statements to the court, and that Brit's demeanor before the commissioner was "businesslike." "I think any judge is pleased to see progress being made by parties in a case," Parachini added.
Details of the hearing's outcome were not announced. But a source confirms for PEOPLE that Britney will now be allowed to have her sons Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, with her overnight. The former couple face a custody trial in August, unless they can settle their case amicably out of court. Their next hearing is set for July 15. The overnight visits were first reported by TMZ.com.
