Happy Birthday Spencer!

It was 6 years ago today that we welcomed our third boy into our family! Spencer came as our last child to be born in Scottsdale and our only child born while we lived in our first home in Queen Creek where we had moved just a few months before he was born.







We are as happy today as we were that day 6 years ago, that he is a part of our family! And to celebrate, we threw him a Pirate Party!


The cake was a lot of fun to make. William made the sails.




As the boys arrived, they got to decorate their own treasure boxes.




Then they each received a bag of loot to keep in their treasure box.




ARRR! What a great looking group of pirates! There is Pirate Jason, Pirate Spencer, Pirate Christopher, Pirate Jacob, Pirate Nathan, and Pirate Trevor. Pirates William, and Bryce must not have made it into this picture. Pirate Annalise was taking a nap!


Then we lit the canons and had some cake!




Spencer got some very nice gifts from his friends.


Money is always a winner!








Here is Spencer holding the homemade pinata. Since I wasn't able to string it up, I just had the boys take turns punching it. Once everyone had taken a turn, I let Spencer punch it again and then tipped it over and everything came out! OK, I know a little lame for a pinata, but being alone, I had to improvise and the kids didn't seem to mind at all!


Last of all, right before parents came, the swords were given out.








The boys all seemed to have a really good time. Happy Birthday Spencer. We love you!
