Mikey Turns 3!

Today is Mikey's birthday!  He is 3 years old and we can hardly believe it!  What happened to the time

From the day he was born, I also became a Mommy.  We had smiles some days and screams on others.  Lots of hugs and kisses and tantrums too! He is the sweetest little boy and we wouldn't have it any other way.

At 3 Mikey:

• Loves any and all things trucks, vehicles, tractors, ambulances, police cars, tractor trailers, etc.
• He loves watching toy story, curious george, handy manny, and nemo.
• He is talking in full and complete sentences.
• He has become a very picky eater.  I have to get creative to make sure he eats enough fruits and veggies during the day.
• He is very sweet most of the time with Katie and has increasingly been tattling on her whenever she does something I've told her not to do.
• He is potty trained and most nights he wakes up with a clean night time pull up.
• He loves to rough house and his favorite is wrestling with Scott.  His favorite game is "Get Mike!"
• He says his prayers and says "Amen" really loud.
• At night time he always requests "Twinkle Star" and "The I love you Song"
• He also requests back, hand, arm and leg massages nightly.

For his birthday he awoke with balloons scattered all over his bedroom.  We also decorated the dining room with "Caution/Danger" tape all over and hung up a Happy Birthday Sign.

For his cake we had purchased a Blackout Cake from Two Little Red Hens (I wasn't sure if we would have power for me to bake him a cake) and I put it in a pan with crushed up Oreo Cookies and threw in some of his construction vehicles.  He did not eat a bite of his cake but loved eating the "dirt!"

He woke up with lots of balloons to kick all around.

Just a few of the many presents he opened.

One of his favorites was Buzz!

He loved Buzz' laser!

There is that smile :)



Brother and Sister.

Buzz has seen lots of action since we took him out of the box.

Might I just add that it took us 30 mins. to free Buzz from the box?!

Happy Birthday Mikey!

I love his little hand in there.  He just. couldn't. wait.

I love that he could play with his cake.

Blowing out the candles.

Happy Birthday!

Testing out the dirt.

He is still playing with his cake.

Yup. See he still has a piece of cake he has yet to eat.  Don't worry, he ate it the next day.

Daddy and Mikey.  (Poor Scott was so sick.)

Mikey and I.

She was happy someone had a birthday and she got some cake.

Taken right before bed.  Scott and Katie were sooo tired.  The wind was really whipping around outside at this point.
