Happy Birthday Crawford

We have been some busy folks the past few weeks.  I’m so behind on posts, but thought I would share my pictures from Saturday's birthday party for Crawford.  I made the cake as his birthday gift.  :)  If he’s anything like Skylar, then he has every toy under the moon. So, making a cake for him was more fun to give.  Their theme was a Fishing theme!  We had a great time.  The weather was perfect!!  I didn’t even sweat!  That’s amazing considering the past few weekends have been harsh!sand box (1 of 1)

Skylar loved playing in the sandbox.

He reeled it in and “sort of” touched it before it was thrown back in.  He caught 2 fish (a bass and a brim) within 10 minutes.  :)  Then we quit while we were ahead.  :)

Skylar “tapped” it and it didn’t do much, but after all the kids got a whack, the candy was up for grabs!

Crawford was so cute and ready to blow out his candle for the second time.  One of his friend’s beat him to it the first time.  :)

Pamela,
You really outdid yourself with Crawford's cake! I loved the worm that you made that was wrapped around the "3" hook. SO CREATIVE! Your friend Emily did a great job with the bday party's theme, games, and fish/fishing motiff. Loved the fishing pole idea and the kids actually using them!! You girls outdo yourselves every year! Crawford and Skylar are such lucky little boys! Wish I had gone to kid's bday parties like the ones that you 2 throw growing up! Skylar's expression was priceless with the little fish that he caught. HE IS TRULY ADORABLE!!!!!

Haha...we had a fun time! I'm surprised that Skylar caught fish! We would love to come see you all! We'll pick a weekend that we can all be free and have a play day! It's been too long!
