Colten's Birthday...long overdue

We had a great day celebrating Colten on his birthday this year!!! He decided on a Star Wars- pool party. Easy enough, until Hurricane Alex invaded South Texas. It rained and rained and rained. Despite the rain, Colten had a GREAT party, the rain did not stop the fun!!! Whew (sigh of relief on my part for sure)!!!

Nothing like a Shipley's "birthday donut" to start the day

a few presents at home

Star Wars "guys" (please don't ask me who?!)

and Star Wars gear

at the pool, Colten welcomed everyone as Darth Vader (in a swimsuit of course!)

let the swimming (and rain) begin

it didn't stop our crew from having FUN...

Caleb launching Colten

so CUTE...Kalyn and Cambry

time for pizza and cake...

the BRAVE bunch!!!

We were SO thrilled to have Aunt Chera, Kalyn and Sheldon stay with us ALL day and that night. Colten's last swim lesson was on his birthday, so we took everyone and played at the water park before AND after his lessons...

cousins having fun

our sweet 5 year old...how can it be???

And...we concluded with eating out of course!!! My parents stayed around for ALL the festivities and we met up with Doc and Gram to celebrate one last time!!!

so BLESSED to have Colten in our lives, we LOVE YOU buddy!!!
