Super "E" turns 3

I have SO been MIA, with reason. Our church has a music conference once a year and J and i have been helping with behind the scenes stuff, along with starting school and Eli's birthday.  It has been hectic to say the least and besides all of that not much to blog about in the process. So, here i am with a post (finally) about my little man, who, turned 3 yesterday!

We had big plans to have a birthday party with friends and such, but man alive, August has been one more busy month.  So, we opted for a get-together with just my immediate family. Plus i couldn't bare for Jennifer to have to buy my lil' man a present since I missed Bradyn's Party ;(  Check it out here. It was so C-U-T-E! and my friend Sarah rarely gets to come to his party since her BIL's birthday is on the same day.  It just worked out better this way for everyone!

E, when asked, wanted a Superman party! I strongly dislike character stuff so i went with the color scheme.

My wonderful mom made this adorable shirt...

and cape!

He was lovin' it

While we enjoyed our birthday feast...

Dad was doing this...told you it was a busy month ;)

and Rachael (my niece) was apparently concerned about keeping her FB up to date...not sure if she really wanted Eli in the pic or not? Love you Rach!

On to opening the gifts...

Big Buzz Lightyear fan!

Does his face say it all?  The boy lu, lu, loves a guitar!

Then we had a "Guest"!!!

Super E's best friend Spiderman came to deliver a present ;)

Eli was supposed to go running to him with open arms but instead he looked like this...

The funniest part was even though he was terrified when Spiderman went over to him to say happy b-day he said "Hi Daddy".  Ahhhh Memories!

Once Daddy took off the mask, he was good to go : )

Best Buds! Thanks, Spidey for coming.

We sang Happy Birthday

 and blew out the candles

and then he made sure that he shot everyone with his new gun before they left.

After they were all gone we PLAYED!!

E rockin out on his guitar

He had a "Super" 3rd Birthday!!!

And here is a recap of how his big day turned out...

Kenners made some cupcakes for Daddy while he was at work, man O man was she excited. I can't tell you how many times she asked me "are you excited that it's daddy's birthday?" She was my Super Big helper  : )

Then my sister and my mom came over to wish Jacob a happy b-day and eat of course!

We yelled surprise as he walked thru the door, even though i know it wasn't since everyone's cars were in the driveway ; )

Probably his favorite gift ever, was the cheeseburger pie i made especially for his big day...this is the only time i ever make it for some reason.

Apparently, its pretty good

This is Jacob fake blowing out his candles cause we missed it the first time

Thats one serious cupcake eater

Kennedy had picked out 2 presents just for dad, that she was absolutely certain he woud adore...

This is one of them, the other was some Junior Mints, he was pretty excited

Then he opened his gift from our 5 year old niece, Grace, who apparently "shopped the house" for her uncle Jacob and this is what he got, this and a really flashy belt (so sweet)

Here he is modeling all his "goodies"...notice the belt

Next, we played SOME card game where you have to wink at people...that was interesting!

Andrew gave us a lil' weird Al Yankovik performance

Kennedy gave daddy one last birthday kiss right before she ditched us to spend the night with Grace

And I would have to say this toy was a smash hit with Lil' E who hasn't put it down since we opened it!!!

Man alive am i exhausted from all this fun

Happy 32nd Birthday to my honeybuns ;)
