The Birthday Party and Such

How can this be true?
I have a six year old already?
Apparently so..

Oh don't worry this should be easy for me..
He was highly anticipating this milestone in his life!
We've been counting down since a long time ago.
Probably a good half of the year.
But at the same time..
When the day actually got here..
It was slightly hard to fathom!

So the day finally arrived.
We spent the first part of the day celebrating with the small things..

A fancy pancake for breakfast...

Then a mid morning Iced Coffee break...

That evening we went out to eat and mini golfing.

Followed by a round of hitting balls at the batting cages...

Carter is starting to comprehend more and more as he gets older.. how his daddy and him share the same birthday.
It is beginning to get fun for him.
He loved to tell Curtis Happy Birthday through out the day with a big grin.

For his party this year we went with an airplane birthday theme.

Carter wanted to use his daddy's toy from when he was a little boy- an aircraft carrier and jets- to go on the cake.
"And i want two jets crashing into the water, mom"
So, yes, don't look too closely, but there are 2 jets crashing into the water.
(no lives were lost)

Water cakes are one of the easiest to make/decorate.
So even while having two kiddos trying to help and baby screaming his head off.. i was able to survive.
Didn't even need any high blood pressure meds (for the cake decorator--aka Mama). ;)
So, yes, easy indeed.
Carter told Curtis--
"Mom did good work.. just like Cake Boss!"
Thankfully it doesn't take much to please a 6 yr old! :)

Pinterest was used.. :)

"Times flies".. and pictures of days gone by..

Opening gifts..

Cousin Kendall entertaining Jamison..

Preparing for the airplane throwing contest!
Make a plane

Whoever's goes the farthest wins a prize...

Calvin: I can make airplanes better then anyone, see?!
Harley: Yeah, right! I might be slower, but you just wait and see!!
Janice: What are we making again??
