Great Gift

Jax received an awesome gift from Roxy. It's a personalized book with his name and pictures in it. It is called Zoom, Zoom, Zoom and we've already read it many times.

Missing his Moma Don

Jax is thanking his Moma Don since she couldn't make it to the party. We've told him about his one-on=one party with Moma Don when she gets back to town.

"Arrrgghhh, time for me party!"

A few weeks ago we joined the Freedom Boat Club through an opportunity of using Square Cow services. The Freedom boat club gives us access to a multitude of boats (sailboat, pontoon, sea ray, etc...) on the beautiful Lake Travis. As soon as we joined the boat club I knew we had to do a boat party for Jax's 3rd birthday. That decision lead to a pirate themed party.

Today was the party and we had a blast. We started with a treasure hunt where the kids had to find a hidden treasure chest of candy on the boat (using a treasure map of course). We then gave out the favors which included the pirate hats, hooks, swords, eye patches and buckets. Our favorite pirate addition would have to be the pirate flag that Kimberly whipped together. One side had a smiling skull and crossbones and the other side said "Happy Birthday Jax".

We started the party around 9 am so everyone traveled over to Chik-fil-a for lunch and presents after a few hours on the water. Jax loved every minute of it.

Happy Birthday Jax!

Back to School for Jax

Jax started pre-school back last week. Kimberly and I were very pleased that Jax acclimated so well to his new class. Now that we have three, Jax attending school is more important than ever. Jax needs the interaction and Kimberly needs the break.

Harley's Smile

Each and every day we spend with Harley she shows us a little more personality. This day she was smiling like crazy. Something she's been doing more and more of. As you can see she is beautiful...and filling out. There is plenty more where this came from.

Vacation 2009

In an effort to help my wife "catch up" on the blogging I've volunteered my services to assist those that keep up with our clan through this site. Now, I'm going to start with an event that I looked forward to for more than 6 months and when it finally came and went I look back knowing that it lived up to all my expectations. That event was our vacation. We made the monumental mistake of skipping the 2008 vacation which put even more pressure on this years week of R&R. I've included several pictures that I hope communicates our glorious time at the beach.
