Happy 3rd Birthday Rhett!

I can't believe this cute little boy of ours is 3 years old today. He's so adorable and of course needy but who can complain with a face like that?

He had been asking for days if he could open his birthday presents and I would say each time, "After everyone gets here on Saturday." He would just say, "OK." But on Friday night he asked about his birthday party by saying, "Can I come?" Silly boy. 

We had a Curious George dinner party last night to celebrate. A few family members and friends is all you need to have a good time. 

We decorated the kitchen on Saturday morning and then went to the parade downtown.

For dinner we had homemade corn tortillas and carne asada street tacos. They were pretty tasty!

What a lucky little boy!

He loved every single one of his presents.

 

For dessert we devoured some Almond Tres Leches Cake with orange strawberry sauce.  

I know...he's not 18, but who doesn't love having as many candles on your cake as possible! 

And he did a pretty great job blowing them all out by himself. 

Josie made some yummy french toast for his birthday breakfast this morning!

Yay for more candles!

Oh baby Rhett you're so sweet and helpful and a little crabby at times. Especially when you get a red cup instead of an orange one.  You hate getting in trouble and love to please everyone.

I love to sing you Mockingbird and ABC's and read you Ferocious Wild Beasts, Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site, or Apples Apples Up On Top before bed. 

You have more energy than I can even imagine having and run yourself into the ground every day at nap time and bedtime. And yours so starving when you wake up only PB or cheese makes it all better. 



You're one of the silliest people I've ever know...any that's saying something.





You love everything that has to do with BOY! You're favorites include: Race cars, airplanes, trucks, bikes, trains, construction, hammers, dirt, mud, grass, baseball, basketball, Curious George, Daniel Tiger, Paw Patrol, dinosaurs, motorcycles, four wheelers, pizza, tortillas, pasta, spinach leaves dipped in ranch, rice, OJ, cheese and PB. 

You love being a big boy that's potty trained that wears mostly boxer briefs and a shirt, but fancy shoes or boots. You love it when I make your hair fancy. You insist on wearing a certain swimsuit in the hot tub. 

Although you loved skiing last week, you hate the cold, snow and ice. You ask at least once a week if we're going to Legoland when we go to the grocery store, or if we can go to the beach today. (I wish we could too!)

You're very athletic and look to watch sports. I know your can't wait for summer to come again to go to the playground and play with the dogs in the yard. Your going to be so tall and strong one day. Heck you're already over 3 feet and nearly 40 lbs and solid as a brick. 

We love you to the moon and back little man!
