Pirate and Princess Party

George not only had his wish granted by having a Pirate Ship in his backyard but Make-A-Wish held a party for him as well. I also want to thank United Health Care who sponsored George's wish. We invited all his friends and family to come and play on his ship. There were goodie bags and cake and ice cream for all. There was also some real pirates that came and did a sword fight for the kids to watch. When George made his wish they ask for a backup wish in case they can not grant his first one. Well his backup wish was to meet Darth Vader. To his surprise Darth Vader showed up to the Pirate party and George was terrified. He gradually got up the courage to stand near him without crying. Being the host I did not get any good pictures this is all I have so I will update soon with decent pictures. For now enjoy the scene pictures.

ONE

My Grant-a-Mus is ONE I can not believe it. I swear he just started crawling, oh that is right he did just start crawling but I could not ask for a more chill baby for number 3. He is the sweetest thing around and I can not get enough of his thighs, YUM!!

Birthday Boy with morining eyes.
Birthday Pancakes

I had to blow out the candle he was not quite sure about it.

He has to feed his thighs.

His favorite toy, a balloon. That night we went out on the boat just our family for Grant's birthday and he opened his presents and we had birthday brownies, delicious.

The next day was Hobie's birthday so we decided to go to the Zoo with them to celebrate their first birthdays. Here is Tess and Scarlet on the train.

The Birthday boys, Grant and Hobie.

Acting like tigers on the tigers!?!

For our families we celebrated on Conference Sunday and I made Candy Corn Cupcakes they were layered orange and yellow then the top was white like the candy corn, They were really good.

Wish Granting

As I posted a while ago that George was eligible to make a wish and he wished for a Pirate Ship Playground. Well it finally arrived. Here are a few pictures of how it arrived.

Here is some of the wish granters with the truck behind them.

Starting the assembly process.

Too many pieces for me.

Trying to find the most level place in the backyard for the ship.

Lots of holding and waiting.

Spencer inside the ship waiting for another piece to put together.

The Gang Plank is up.

The finishing touches.


George surprised to come home to his Pirate ship in the backyard.

He LOVES it!!!

Ready to go down the slide. He would wake up at 7 AM dressed and ready to go and play for the next few days, and still does sometimes!!
