ahoy all scalawags!

Happy 3rd Birthday Captain JACK!

my little man turned 3 today! this post is Colossal and has a gabillion pictures so you may want to just skim through this one... unless of course your little one was at the party and came home covered in chocolate, sand, and tattoos and you are curious why :)

any guesses on the theme???


the three year olds went on a boat ride to start the party off:



hahaha jack took a few "special" pictures today. we did tell him it was his special day, but he took it to a whole different level! this one is still making me laugh



then they all went on a treasure hunt to find all of the items needed to become a pirate and, of course, BOOTY!:


heres another winner!


catching fish in the "sea" to earn a tattoo and an ear ring




their last task was to find an X in the sand in order to earn their hooks and be able to search for the treasure




after all their hunting, the crew needed some nourishment. it was time for pizza and cake:






the 3 year olds received silly string as part of their treasure, but we didnt have time at the party to play with it. after ellie went down for a nap, jack and mommy played with silly string till our pointer fingers turned into nubs:


im not gonna lie and say "it feels like just yesterday i held jack in my arms for the first time", but it is incredible how much this little person has changed in such a short amount of time! i am still amazed at how much trust Heavenly Father has in us to raise these special little people.

happy birthday jackman! we love you so! thanks to everyone who helped make his day a special one!

Yay for Jack! I'm glad he had a good time at his party... wish I could've been there. Thanks for posting all the pics : )

I just got to watch the videos for the first time, and I'm glad I wasn't at work... I cried a bit. I guess that's not unusual. It was getting to see Jack blow out his candles himself for the first year. Silly, I know : )
