Baby oh Baby

It's official... my baby....
... is five years old!! It's so amazing!!


We started out his day of fun by me picking him up in Tucson at 8 am. We had a small breakfast pirate party at our really good friends house.

This is him with his friend... I had to include this shot because check out that stance. She has got the look.

He got a pancake breakfast and got to blow out the candles.


This is the brother of the friend below. He is such a cute kid!



A little pre-swim sword play...



And then hitting the pool... he went crazy! It's so much more fun to swim with other kids than just with mom.





The little girl is a sister to the little girl and little boy above. She's a spitball of energy!


We drove home and had a small party here too. Some guests, and yes, a whoopy cushion (so much better than the real thing... or at least less smelly!)



More sweet friends! Thanks everyone for coming!




This is the cake. I felt somewhat that I had to redeem myself from the falling over towers from last year. This one didn't fall over until I after I cut off the front half of it.



Getting ready to blow out some candles!



And the pinata! (Man those things are sturdy!)



Z taking a swing at it. I was upstairs working the ropes so I didn't see it all but I think he made contact with the dishwasher at one point.


This is E taking a swing too!



And G'ma going at it.



Everyone got a turn at it and seriously - those things are hardy!

I got the good candy, which I'm still regretting becauseI still have lots of it here.
It was such a fun day and I'm really grateful for the people that came and made it special. I can't believe my baby is 5 and getting ready for Kindergarten. I feel really lucky to have him as my little boy! Love me some Z!

It sounds like you guys had a blast! That cake is amazing! I really need you nearby when I have birthdays! :) Except you'd need to go for something girly instead of pirates!

It's crazy how fast the time goes by isn't it? I still remember seeing you when he was in your tummy. Seems like yesterday!
