Happy 3rd Birthday!

On your special day you...

Crawled into our bed at 4:30am...
Jumped out of bed for pancakes and chocolate milk at 5:00am...

 -Alex-

-Will

Insisted that you watch steam trains on YouTube...
Dressed your teddy bear up in your clothes and took him to school in the car...
Enjoyed a birthday celebration with chocolate cake and crowns at school...
Came home with presents and went crazy when you saw your balloons...
Ran squealing from Goose when she chased your balloon strings...
Loved blowing out candles on your cupcakes...

-Will-

-Alex-

At more cucumbers than cupcake...

-Alex-

Took a tubby with glow in the dark insects and Mater & McQueen washcloths...
Read all of your new books before lights out...


Happy Birthday Boys!
 XOXO,
Mama & Daddy

Beach Magic

Aaron's annual family reunion trip to the beach was as lovely as ever. The weather was better than we had hoped....


So we played on the beach several times throughout each day...


Playing in the sand and dashing headlong into the surf without hesitation were two of your favorite activities...


We even managed to take a peek at a few tide pools...


Relaxing and catching up with family was wonderful...



We are looking forward to next year so we can repeat the process of slowing down, hanging out and wandering around...

Food Fun

These days I find myself asking Alex to please eat his carrots with his hands, not his feet...


Not two minutes later Will is jumping his car off of his sandwich between bites...


Boys will be boys...

Annual PIR Prowl

We managed to attend the all British field meet this year. It has been a tradition in the past and it was especially fun to watch you experience the races and check out all of the cars...

Daddy always enjoys any chance to look at different cars...


While he was looking at cars, you were snacking and racing your own...


Your ear protection came in handy several times...

-Alex-


We tipped our hats to all of the Minis and even found one painted like ours...

-Alex & Will-


The races were your absolute favorite. You impressed everyone with your enthusiasm...


Of course, you liked watching all of the people as well...

-Will & Alex-


Three cheers for Minis!
