I can not believe my little baby is TWO......

So I apologize now that these pictures are kind of out of order. I swear that when I uploaded them, they were in order, but now.... not so much. I will do my best to explain and fill you all in on the amazing fun that we had for this cool kids birthday. I really still can't believe that he is two. He was born yesterday, I swear, but alas..... He is my big Two Year old now. We had a very fun pirate party with a few of his friends and we had a very special visitor show up.


Eli and his Uncle Justin

Caitlyn as a little pirate

Caitlyn, Eli, and Liam..... Wouldn't they make a great crew?


The kids digging for buried treasure

Eli and Aunt Heather reading one of Eli's new books

Eli, Matt, and our very special visitor.... Captain Jack Sparrow. Doesn't he look amazing? This is one of Matt's best friends, John. Thanks again so much for coming and making this about the coolest party ever. Not too many Two Year olds can say that they have met Captain Jack.... let alone had him come to their birthday parties.

I think Lara was more excited to meet Jack then Eli was

Eli getting ready to blow out his candle. Doesn't he look so sweet in this picture?

This was my crazy attempt at making a treasure chest cake. It turned out okay. My monkey last year was by far more cute, but for the whole pirate theme this year, it turned out just great and dandy.

Another picture of the kids digging fro buried treasure. I think this was there favorite part.

Eli examining one of his birthday cards.

A very cute picture of the birthday boy, proud daddy, and the coolest captain ever.

Eli just loving life and checking out his new hot wheels bike that grandma and grandpa gave him. Thanks again for such a great gift.... Eli absolutely loves it.

The finished product, just before he blows out the candle.

Eli and Captain Jack.

Checking out the cake.

This is one of my favorite pictures because they are arguing about how old Eli is turning. Eli is very set on the fact that he is one, but Captain Jack is trying very hard to convince Eli that he is Two now. I love it.

Captain Jack digging for treasure with Eli.

I just love these pictures. They are so cute together.

Captain Jack sharing a gold coin with Eli.

Grandpa teaching Eli the proper way to play golf.... well Gator Golf that is.

So this is one of my new favorite pictures. I have to explain why I love this picture so much, besides just the fact that it is the cutest thing ever. Eli had gotten his new pajamas's on and he stole his dad's hat and was standing at the back door calling for Lilly to come back in the house. And he just looked so stinking cute, even though it is just his back side.
