Birthday Boys

Stanton's birthday is May 2nd, this year he made it to the double digits! 10 years old!

He had two parties, one on Friday night- he had (7 I think) boys over for a Pirate Party sleepover! According to him it was AWESOME, Dad might not totally agree- but overall it was a success! The second party was Sunday after church, he had the family over for spaghetti and cake.

He requested 2 cakes this year, and being my favorite brother...he got what he wanted. Pirate Ship cake for party #1, and an Electric Guitar for party #2.

Pirate ship (without the mast and helm)...complete with Treasure map reading "Happy Birthday CAPTAIN STANTON", and a mini treasure island.

There is the mast, and the lookout in the crowsnest. A girl with an eyepatch.

Here I'd added the British (sneaking up in a rowboat), the helm with the captain steering, and the yellow thing next to the treasure map is a LEGO crab.

Skeleton and parrot with a cannon that actually shoots LEGO bullets, and a pirate thug.

The LEGO set was part of his birthday present.

The Captain, steering that ship/cake with his hook.

Stanton's Left Handed electric guitar cake!

Yea...the head is on backwards...I forgot to make it lefty.

Too big to fit on just one board...

See the color? He wanted black, I suggested burgundy.

Wilton's idea of burgundy is pink...so I had to add some black anyway (which makes the icing taste funny...but Stanton would have KILLED me for a pink cake)

Mom lighting the candles...

Make a wish!!

And...lighting Ben's side of the cake.

His birthday is the 2nd too, he turned 26 this year!

13 candles, each one counted for 2 years, lol.

I don't think 26 would have fit on that part of the cake.

Ben and Stanton

Blake, Stanton, Ben, James

Kiddies really wanted some cake

Amelia waiting patiently, meanwhile Ava want's "Dat peeece!"

Stanton opening presents.

Ben is such a goober, but he's great.
See my pirate tattoo?! haha. Thanks Stanton.

Great Family time, Uncle Bobby made a surprise appearance, we were SO happy to have him with us. We missed everyone that couldn't make it, even Amanda, she was at Grad night at Disney in Orlando! Whoo!
