My little guy is 3!




Over the break, Jack turned 3! We woke him up with a decorated room and headed over to HARBOR HOUSE for a delicious "waffle dip dip" breakfast in his jammies :)


This birthday could not come soon enough. He has been so excited for his 'Pirate' birthday party. We decided to throw him a little party at my in-laws house with just a few of his Southern CA buddies. This was my first real kid party, so I had fun coming up with ideas and activities for the kids.



We got this giant cardboard pirate ship the kids could color and play in. Actually all 7 of the kids fit in it at one point!



We also decorated foam pirate swords and have sword fights in the garage. Uncle Tyson was a great sport and played too and even held Jack ransom :)





We played pin the sword on the pirate skeleton.


Had a treasure Hunt.


Of course we sang to Jack and had cupcakes.

Jack was in heaven. To have pirate stuff, friends, family, and chocolate....his world was perfect!

*opening family gifts*

Turning 3 meant graduating out of nursery and into Sunbeams! We took him on Sunday to his new church class, and got a little choked up. Our little guy is growing up. He has been so much fun!...he is little sounding board and sponge constantly asking questions and learning new things and new words. He can navigate a computer and ipod....angry birds is his favorite. His attention span is getting bigger and he is getting more and more independent. He is still the best brother to Teddy! We just love him and are excited for all that he'll learn in the next year.
