It's weird to say that I am a mother of a 6 year old....I feel like I should still have a baby!!
Time flies
Anyway, we celebrated Kellen's 6th birthday in between rain showers over Labor Day weekend. I was so glad that it stopped raining long enough for the party. I had planned for LOTS of outdoor activities.
When the guests first arrived I had mustaches, swords, eye patches, and bandanas...everything you needed to be a pirate.
Our homeade ship....Karsten and I worked together one morning to build this pirate ship - complete with a plank to walk.
Two of my favorite pirates...Kellen and HK
I love this picture (my dad in the background attacking Kobe) :-)
I told Karsten he looked like a 70's pirate that should be on some sit-com.
I wish I would have taken a picture of our pirate treasure map, but Karsten slaved over a real-life treasure map complete with clues. The kids had to follow the clues and find the buried treasure. We actually buried a chest filled with all kinds of goodies. We literally ran all over the place so I didn't have a chance to get the pictures.
Gina and Lauren, our beloved friends and neighbors from Carterville came for the party.
My three pirates. Who needs a playground?
Kellen received a new hot wheel type thing that has 360 degree wheels and a spark thrower. It has been the "it" item with any kid who has been to our house.
Kellen, these past 6 years have been such a joy. You are growing up...in fact you just lost your first tooth. You came home one day from school a couple weeks ago and said "I had a bad day." When I asked you why, you told me with teary eyes..."my tooth is loose." I guess I had not prepared you for what losing a tooth would feel like or how you would feel about it. You are such an easy going guy with a kind heart and bright eyes. I love you to the moon and back! Happy 6th birthday!
