AJ is 7!


We were still feeling guilty after promising AJ a pirate party (because we live on Pirate Lane) last year and not being able to pull it off (because we had just moved, and I was pregnant and tired). So this year, we got it done right.

Friday evening, AJ's and his cousins/friends got to make their own pirate flags, fish for pirate gear (swords, eyepatches, etc.), and run an obstacle course with water balloons. There was the necessary water wars, and even the adults didn't escape. After games, we ate dinner and cake and ice cream. AJ got some great presents this year. He's really excited about playing LEGO Indiana Jones for the Wii.




We're really grateful to have AJ in our family. He's an awesome kid, and we love him so much!

That looks like he had a blast. I love the eye patch! That's funny that Brooklin likes the grass, a lot of kids don't.

It looks like Joe is doing a major squat in that picture. You can't see the chair he is sitting on. We were confused there for a bit what was going on. I love AJ's mustache and eye patch!

I can't believe AJ is 7! Natalie and Brooklin are getting big too. So cute!
