Happy 3

This cute little guy turned three and had a blast. It was over a month ago, but better late than never.

We started the day off with breakfast in bed. I got some

video of this and he was so thrilled to be

treated to such a special occasion.

He's still in his crib because with all the hoop-lah around moving

we decided to just put it off until we got into the new house.

And now, he's potty trained so now it's a big reward.

If only Mom could figure out the decor details...

Any ideas on where to get fun bedding? I'm not finding

anything I love these days.

Doesn't three look so big on this kiddo.

This is the money shot of the day. I mean look at that hair and the slightly crazed look on his face.

Again, the move took precedence over haircuts even. I'm

happy to report we did finally make it out to get

a hair cut and he's looking a little less savage

these days. But, don't you love that his

hat says, "Party Animal."

We love our little guy and can't believe it's been three years. He makes me laugh everyday and boy, he knows how to give a great hug. He's still very attached to his blanket (be-be) even through now at three it is threadbare and I keep finding little pieces of it around the house. He's my little adventurer and we're constantly amazed at how nothing seems to scare him and phase him. I constantly hear after he takes a little tumble or spill, "I'm okay!" Cracks me up.

Love him. Happy 3.

To remember

I need to remember that....

Carter loves his music and is very particular about what music you subject him too. Today in the car he stopped mid-tantrum because one of his favorite songs came on and instead sang softly to himself and even did a little gig. What a character at 3.

Harrison is OBSESSED with golfing. He went a whole 18 holes with Chris the other day and wasn't tired in the slightest. And he pretty much beat up a 10 year old with his game. Impressive.

Carter still is accident prone and the other day did a superman stunt on the swing and landed face first in the gravel. We went to insta-care and he and I were both traumatized by the cleaning of the wound.

Swimming is a summer favorite and you'll see us at the pool pretty much every day for at least the next two weeks.

A new playground in the backyard was a worth doing since we are still a month long without TVs in the house. Cross your fingers we figure this out soon. At least my fear of our summer being sat in front of the TV is not happening.

After 6 months the boys finally got their return visit to Midway and it did not disappoint. The day after we moved into our new house they asked when we were leaving for Midway. Lucky boys. Midway = bike rides, golf, swimming, games, boating with friends and the "train restaurant."

My boys are becoming little buddies. They play together and even protect each other. Little Carter at the pool the other day didn't like the way another kid was treating Harrison and he shouted, "Don't do that to my brother!" Priceless.

Harrison may have finally overcome his fear of fireworks! This is huge. We went to the Oakley rodeo with friends and both boys loved the fireworks show. The whole walk back to the car was about how, "I guess when you're five you're just not afraid of fireworks anymore." I was personally pleased since it met we were also able to stay for my brother's 4th of July fireworks extravaganza this year.

Otter pops are a constant request and I don't mind because I get to send them outside.

Anyways, I thought I should try and remember a great summer with my two boys....soon to be three boys in October.
