TJ turned 3! Blowing out a candle on his actual birthday, but being careful not to get too close because "It might fire me up!" he said.
Helping to fill his pinata.
TJ wanted a boat birthday, so that's what he got. One of mommy's best cakes yet!
We headed out to Canyon lake for some boat birthday fun with TJ's best buds Grant and Jake, Mr Travis and Ms Laura, and grandparents. There were quite a few mishaps including the boat not wanting to start, no dock or ramp near the pavilion, a lost flip flop in the lake muck, dead batteries in the air pump for the tube that daddy checked the day before, a popped float and crying kids that didn't want to swim in the deep water.
But after we worked out all the kinks, we were off and having fun...
TJ tubing for the first time. He loved it!
Jake getting to help Uncle D drive the boat.
Pinata time!!! All the kids took turns taking swings and swings and swings, but the thing would NOT break. Grant had some real power behind his swings that did some damage, but still no goodies falling out. So, daddy had to step in and do the job- the thing was made of cardboard- I guess that's what you get when you buy it from the dollar store.
Cake time!!
Present time!!
And after all our family and friends left, we headed back out for a little more boating and tubing. We just didn't want the fun to end...
Alli even decided she wanted to try tubing solo. So she did and she was so proud and just kept riding and tiding...
Daddy and the birthday boy getting a little tired but still having fun...
What a great day! Such a fun, adventurous, thrill-seeking little boy who truly enjoys life.

WOW, definitely your best cake yet.
Looks like it was a blast. Poor Laura and her flipflop!
The cake looked awesome! Good job!
With the whole cardboard pinata thing- we bought ours at Target and of course it was cardboard, too. Ours was finally broken by 6 year old girls, kinda, and then pulled apart by us. Corry kept telling me to buy a real pinata but I don't even know where to get one that isn't cardboard!
I kept meaning to ask you about TJ's party and always forgot when I talked to you. Glad it turned out fun after a few mishaps!
