Three short years ago...

we welcomed this sweet, sweet boy!

I love everything about him and everyday I find another reason why little boys are so great.  He is loud and busy and messy and I wouldn't want it any other way.   So, at 3 years old...

-Is completely potty trained, yay!!
-Dropped his nap, just like Bridget did at this age
-Favorite foods are hot dogs, ham and cheese sandwiches and any and all snack food.
-Obsessed with tools and fixing things.  We had to hide Todd's real tools because all of the sudden I would find him with a real screwdriver and pliers under the bathroom sink!
-Labels everything we do by either being "guy stuff" or "not guy stuff".  Going to Lowe's, eating hot dogs and standing up to pee..."Guy stuff".  Taylor Swift, Barbies and Ballet..."not guy stuff".
-Has been escaping from his crib in the wee hours of the morning...time for a big boy bed!
-Still loves his lovies, maybe more now than ever.  
-Tries to wear his basketball shorts everyday saying, "I just want be so comfy."
-Loves to watch Curious George, Handy Manny and Caillou.
-Pesters his big sister like all little brothers should.  He knows how to push her buttons!

We celebrated his birthday for 3 straight days earlier this month.  A school celebration, a big birthday party at the park and a family birthday dinner at home.  Our gift to him was a big Power Wheels dune buggy with room for two.  Him and Bridget both love it!

I normally have the kids birthday parties at the house, but was thinking the park might be a better (and easier) option this year.  So many friends came to celebrate with us and it was such a perfect day.

I'm a sucker for all the little party details and fun things we certainly don't need, but it does all come together so nicely in the end!

So glad another mommy grabbed my camera and offered to take a picture of all 4 of us!



There are so many to be missed now that his babyhood is behind him, but at the same time we are loving the little boy he is becoming and can't wait to see how he changes and grows this year.  Happy Birthday and we love you, Rossy!

One more photo, his 3 year old pics I took for his birthday invitation.  Can't get over how sweet and handsome this boy is!!

So many pictures, so little time

The title says it all...we're here, doing what we always do, but getting busier by the minute.  When the kids were babies I really thought things would be less hectic in just a few years.  Having a 3 and 5 year sounded soooo easy.  Wrong.  They are non-stop all the time and always full of their own opinions, ideas and quirks.  We are having tons of fun doing more big kids things, but that simply means less time for other things...like blogging.  But I promise you I have lots of pictures stored up from all our adventures.  The past few weeks have been especially eventful and hopefully I can give everything a proper post soon enough.  Until then, some other cute pics of my 3 and 5 year old!
