Birthday Boy

Well, I can't believe that my "Big boy", as he likes to be called,(he is no longer my baby according to him- little does he know:) is another year older!! It is hard to believe that Duncan is 6 years old. He is such a joy and is growing up to be quite the little man. We are thankful every day for him and the blessing that he is in our lives and the lives of many. Happy Birthday Duncan!!

This year he wanted a firefighter birthday party so... all the little guys were dressed and ready for some fire action. They all had a great time. We gave him a firetruck for his birthday and it was a hit.





He also got a special visit from Hannah. Hannah was Aunt Iris' dog and he loves her. Aunt Iris' good friend Dora took Hannah when she passed away and the two of them brought him a present and to say happy birthday. He was so excited to see Hannah. He talked to her and they walked around the yard and Hannah just loved all the attention. Duncan was always in charge of taking care of Hannah when Aunt Iris would go out of town or on longer trips, so they have quite the bond. He noticed a little heart shaped tag on her collar while they were at the house and he asked Dora if that was on there so that Hannah could always remember that Aunt Iris loved her. Funny how his little mind works and I think he misses Aunt Iris just a little bit. What a fun visit from them though.





Next is the water slide!! Duncan got a water slide for his birthday and of course the cousins need to come help try it out!!




On Sunday we had his family party and again he was spoiled rotten. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family to spend time with and that love our kids so much. He got lots of fun gifts and the cousins had all sorts of fun playing and racing around the yard while the adults got to visit.






This would be his mother's poor rendition of a fire truck cake. We aren't going to talk about the color, it is a sore subject, but it sure did taste good and he was happy so I guess it all turned out in the end.


Happy Birthday Little Man!

What a great birthday and there's nothing like the cousins to celebrate your special day with you! I LOVE the firetruck--especially the color--! The thing is, Duncan will look at these pictures when he is older and only remember how much time his mom spent to make his day special!

What a fun party! I bet he'll always remember his pink fire truck cake:) What a fun birthday visitor even. Lucky boy! I can't belive how big he's getting! Is he excited to start school? Are you ready for that yet? It's so fun to watch them grow and have new adventures. Happy Birthday Duncan!!!

I dont see anything wrong with the color. Pink is perfect for a boys fire truck cake :)
