A party fit for a PIRATE!!!

I will add some pictures a little later. This post is not allowing me to add anymore. We had Bryson's birthday on August 16th, 2008. Bryson loves to rent the pool out for his party so we have to have it early. He had an awesome time and so did all the kids. The one good thing about renting out the pool is that the kids he invites can bring their whole family. We decided this year that he wouldn't get his presents from us until his actual birthday so I will post about what we did yesterday later. Bryson loves all the gifts that he recived form his friends.



Bryson helped me make his cake, well....he helped with the mixer until he picked it up out of the batter with the mixers still spinning and then I told him that was enough help.
The cake turned out really well and even better than I had imagined. It took me just under three hours to decorate it. This is the first decorative cake I have ever made and I might just do it again.





I had the kids do a competition of walking the plank. I had a separate gift for the kid that walked the plank the best/funniest. Joe was a great sport.

It's been awhile...

I know it's been awhile since I have had a real post and I will get to it soon. I am working on throwing our neighborhood a 1st Annual Fall Block Party and you should see all the hoops I am having to jump through to have it. I will have all the details soon.

Carter's Christmas Party

Carter had a Christmas party the other day with all his little friends. They painted ornaments ate pizza and exchanged gifts. He and his friends had a great time. Here are some photos.

Having a great time!
