Saturday, August 29, 2013 - You had a Shark Party at Ms. Carla/Jamie's pool. It was JAWsome! It all started with a shark fin you spotted at Walmart and that's when you started pleading your case for a shark party for your 6th birthday. You couldn't wait to scare people in the water! You helped me pick out the invites and you chose your favorite colors, orange and blue to decorate with.
We asked Pop to cut out this shark for your party and you helped me and dad paint it.
All set up for the party!
At the drink table we had "Ocean Water" and shark-finned ice cubes.
We even had shark-infested Jello and "Shark Teeth" aka cheese for snacking.
And no shark party is complete without a watermelon carved into a shark doubling as a fruit bowl. You named him "Sharky".
As a "Thank You" for coming, we had shark grabbers and kites. We also had a shark pinata and shark-shaped treat bags.
Ready to Party! Last one into the pool is Shark Bait!
Duh na...Duh na...Duh na...
Swimming with Sharks & Friends
Cannon Ball!
Trace & Daddy...Best Buds!
Time for Cake! You even helped with making the decorations in the background.
Your cake! (Slightly melted)
And Cupcakes!
Singing!
Wishing!
Pinata Time!
Poor Guy.
After lots more swimming, we were finally able to lure you out of the pool again long enough to do presents.
Your first Ninja Turtle!
Funny story...so we made you a Wish List at Toys R Us, which included the game "Mouse Trap". Apparently, several people forgot to remove their gift from the registry. ;) We had previously rehearsed what to say if you received a duplicate gift or something you have already at home, but you were not prepared for this and just looked at me so confused. It gave us all a good laugh!
Bug, each year with you just keeps getting better and better. You are growing up so fast, so we're doing our best to take in every moment. You are so active and full of energy that's sometimes it's hard to keep up! You start 1st grade this year and I know you're gonna do great! You are so smart and interested in learning, especially as it relates to all things animals, space, sports, or video games. We learn new facts from you daily and you're always correcting us on our limited knowledge of things. You love the outdoors and camping and you CAN'T WAIT to start Boy Scouts! I sure hope it lives up to your expectations. You'd eat a PB&J at every meal if I let you. But you also love Red Beans & Rice or Pizza (just cheese). You're becoming more independent everyday, and I love to sit back and watch you learn to do something on your own, but at the same time I struggle with wanting to help you, so that you can stay my baby for just one more day. I love you SO MUCH and I can't wait to see what this next year brings.
Happy 6th Birthday, Trace!!!
Happy 6th Birthday, Trace!!!
We Love You! -Mom, Dad, & Fisher
