3 years old!

It just can't believe it has been THREE years since my little AJ was born. I remember that day like it was yesterday, I am sure I will never forget the first time they placed little Age in my arms and said, "it's a boy!"

AJ is a pretty amazing little boy and we get more proud of him everyday. He recognizes all the letters of the alphabet and the first 10 Numbers, counts to 20, sings TONZ of songs, and is constantly cracking everyone up. He is crazy and off the walls but sweet as pie and such a softy. The other day we were watching bolt and he started to cry when he saw penny give Bolt's favorite toy to the other dog. SO CUTE!

We spent the day doing everything he wanted. Pancake breakfast with Lyndz, Becks, and the Wagner girls followed by a special Mom and AJ date to the children's Museum.The happiest place on earth, the dig pit!After I was done painting his face AJ decided that he would do mine, here's were we ended up.... We played with the animals for along time and in the end AJ decided the Lion was his favorite one, because he could eat anyone he wanted. He learned that on Planet Earth, ha ha ha Driving the bus.AJ LOVES the water room. He spends all of his time making different paths on the "river" for his boats to go down.We swung by home to pick up Miles and then got Dad for a special birthday lunch at "old McDonald's"
We heard somewhere that you get a free dozen Krispy Kream donuts on your birthday which makes the trip TOTALLY WORTH IT. When we arrived however, we found out that you only get ONE free donut, (which you get when they have hot and ready's anyways) which makes the trip.....Totally NOT worth it. AJ did enjoy his birthday treat so I guess it was sort of worth it. AJ watched Toy Story while I made his Dr.Sues style cake and a delicious quesadilla dinner.


My first attempt at marshmallow fondent, turned out pretty good. We ate with the Tolmans and then opened presents. Holly and Dan (AJ's "almost" aunt and uncle) came over as well. First up the Tolmans....
That's right everyone, they got him a fish! when I asked him what we should name him he looked at me and said very matter-of-factly, "His name is Wilson Mom"We had to teach him that Wilson is not the type of pet you hold! Gifts from Holly and Dan brought all the way from Disneyland, These now come with us EVERYWHERE! AJ thinks if they fit in the diaper bag why not bring them....ALL OF THEM!
Grandma and Papa couldn't be here but he Loved their gifts as well.Sand and Water table. The sun does not even have to be shining for him to go play with this, just as long as the rain isn't falling it's go time!LEGO!!!! He loves going to Grandmas to play Lego with uncle Jorpo and Uncle Jared and now he has some of his very own!Buzz Lightyear wings. Hazardous to Miles and Beckam but he LOVES THEM!
We had a blast celebrating our little boys third birthday, I still can't beleive I have a 3 year old!
Oh I almost forgot to add a few pictures of his Birthday party with the Friends. We did it during the Day so Dad had to miss it but we had lots of fun decorating cupcakes, treat fishing, and hitting the pinyat (no idea how to spell that!)

Looks like it was a fantastic birthday. You are one brave woman to hold the pinata while the kids took swings at it.
