Carter's 6th Birthday

We celebrated Carter's 6th birthday with a pool party this year. He had a BLAST!!! The kids swam, played, ate a little cake and swam some more. All the mom's literally had to pull the little swimmers out of the pool at almost 10 pm.

After much deliberation over the what kind of cake to have, the birthday boy finally decided on Spongebob. I think the toys that came on the cake may have sealed that deal. The boys have had plenty of fun with them since the party. Carter had to do a rush job blowing out his candles since it was a little windy, but he got the job done.

Carter received lots of super fun gifts from family and friends and he could hardly wait to begin playing with them. Couldn't quite get him to understand that 10:30 pm was NOT the time to start unpackaging all those things for play time. Of course he had not forgotten by the time he woke up so we spent the next morning unwrapping & playing.


Sunday was his actual birthday so he enjoyed some yummy cinnamon rolls (his fave!) for breakfast complete with candles. This time he had a little more time to get those candles blown out...and even had a little help from the little guy.

 I can still hardly believe that my guy is 6...not sure where the years have gone. I am sure that I have enjoyed every minute I've had with him and I have been amazed watching him grow into the child he is today. He is a joy!!!
