Colson is 3!

Colson turned 3 on September 16th and we celebrated the day before with a pirate party at our house!

He was set on only boys coming to his party, but a few girls came to celebrate with us too ;)  He kept saying "my boys come to my party, only boys!", he's so funny!  We had lots of fun decorating our "ship"!



Alan brought home some old barn wood and a palate and we crafted these signs for our front entrance

 

Alan also created my "plank" for me to lead up to the front porch



It hasn't rained here for probably close to 6 weeks....it rained the day of his party... a lot.  Despite the weather, Cole had a great pirate party and we are so greatful for our family and friends that came to celebrate with us!

The kids all got hats, eye patches, swords and pirate mustaches in their party bags.  Alyvia was modeling the party favors :)

The kids all played in the garage where Hubby set up the bounce house and we all crammed inside to watch Colson open his presents!

Daddy & Mommy with our boy <3

The next morning we had donuts and sang happy birthday again, he looked so sweet :)

We took Livi to school and had a lazy day at home playing with his new toys.

He got to go farming with daddy in the afternoon and we had Mexican for dinner-a pretty good birthday when you're 3! 

Colson Thomas, you have had your very own plan since the day you were born (2 days after our plan).

  You are perfectly pleasant when things go your very specific way, but watch out when things aren't going your way! 

You are very into saying "that's not nice" and "that not fair".  But you also express so much joy when you are happy.  "That make me happy" "You the best Mommy" "I wuv (love) you!"  Those are some of  my very favorite things to hear <3 

You have worked so hard on your speech this past year and I am happy to say that you don't even qualify for speech anymore!  You are getting so big (and you are quick to tell anyone that you are NOT a baby, you are a BOY.  Baby is a baby)  We love you so much and could never imagine life without our boy.  We hope you have a fabulous year big boy!
