Little Gym

We had a birthday party to attend on Saturday for Brayden and Peyton's friend Garret. It was held at the Little Gym in Rowlett. At first the kids were attached to me like glue but it didn't take long for them to warm up and have a blast. Brayden is now doing front rolls all over the house!

Backyard Fun

Friday night Cassidi came over to play with Brayden and Peyton for a little while. The kids had fun playing with all of the new backyard toys. Brayden said he loves Cassi and can't wait for her to come over and play again.

Fun in the Sun

We put the kids trampoline together Friday evening and we weren't quite done when the kids were already trying to jump on it. We chose to get the 8 ft trampoline because it would be just the perfect size for the kids first one and it sits lower to the ground. On Saturday Melissa, Meghan and Morgan came over and the kids all played in the wiggle sprinkler since it was so hot. This was their first official day of playing in the water and having fun in the sun!

Brayden's 3rd Birthday

Brayden had a party at school yesteday and we let him pick out the cake, which he chose an

Oreo cake. He is begining to like his new big boy classroom because they play outside every day, make fun projects and he can't wait to go to the library for story time. We are just so proud of him and love seeing how much he's grown in just the past 3 years. Now that Brayden is potty trained it makes me happy that we don't have to buy him diapers anymore but sad to know that he is growing into such a little man. He is such a caring boy and tells me how CC is his best friend and I only hope that their bond continues to grow as they do!

Brayden also got to open his presents early this year from Daddy and Mommy since Brent had to work on his actual birthday. I think after all the days of parties and presents he's going to wonder why everyday is not his birthday (Ha,Ha)!

His "Moon In My Room"

Growling to keep the night creepie crawlers away!

We are setting this up tonight, I'll add pics later!

Brayden's 3rd Birthday Party

Brayden decided this year that he wanted to have a dinosaur birthday party so I set out to find the perfect location for this type of theme. During my hunt I came across the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science, they host a Dinosaur Dig birthday party which was just what we were looking for. I think the party went very well, all of the kids got to learn about different types of dinosaurs, make mask's, dinosaur paper bag puppets and then they got to dig in the sand to uncover dinosaur bones. Once we got back to the party room, Brayden opened presents and we sang Happy Birthday and had cookie cake (yummy)!! I have a ton of pics but I'll try to limit on this post. Thanks to everyone who came to make Brayden's 3rd birthday so.. special!
