Officially Three

Cannon's third birthday raced by too fast!

Since Keller, my niece, and Cannon were born only 3 days apart we always have Cannon's party the weekend before his birthday. I decided that, with the heat, if I wanted any part of the party to be out doors it would have to be an early party. That being said I picked 11:00 am, yes I do now know I am crazy! 11:00 am is way too early to get everything you need done accomplished, but some how we, JJ and I, did it! We all know people are never on time anymore, so we did have about a 15 minute buffer.

When the jumbo water slide arrived Cannon was pumped. He only found out about the slide on Friday night before bed. (For all of you who have or have had little ones you know that something that exciting would be asked about over and over and over if he knew about it too far in advanced.) So as they finish setting up the slide he was already out the door. Who cares about his party guests not being there he had to do it.... After a couple of trips down the slide his cousins and friends started to show up and then he decided he would hang out in the pool area of the slide. After a while I got tired of him NOT going down the slide and decided to get him to go down with me. That was fun, but then it was time for food, presents and cake. After all his friends went home Cannon decided he would go down the slide by himself again once Daddy, Paw, Nana, Mommy, and Wade all started playing on the slide too! We all had so much fun we want a slide of our own!

Here comes Hunter and Cannon is just hanging out at the bottom.

Time for food!
And presents!
And the thank yous!
Now for the good stuff, the cake!
What a cool cake!

Blow out the candles and....

Share with your friends.
