Casey's 3rd Birthday

 We had Casey's birthday party at one of his favorite places... Little Gym!  :)  He has been talking about his airplane birthday for weeks and was so so excited when this day finally came. 
 Jacob and Gavin both carefully picked out a present and made him a little card.  Add some birthday balloons and you have one very happy little boy!
 GG found a toy that sings the birthday song and you pick how many candles light up.  You actually blow out the lights too... so cute!

 One very special friend made a very special cake for my little guy.
 How adorable is that?! 
All the kids showing off their gym skills!


 

 Gavin was pretty excited to have his best friend there too.

Moments with Daddy...
 He was on video camera duty.  ;)




 After warm-up, free exploration, and playing with the balls, it was time for the parachute!

When the instructor asked Casey if he wanted to sit in the middle, he said, "Jakey sit in the middle too."  Then Gavin immediately jumped in with his brothers.  :)

 They wrapped the boys up like a present.... 
(until Casey's head went under the parachute and I had to rescue him ;)
 They played a game where you got to run and push down the wedge of cheese. 
 It was a big hit!
 Next they pulled out the air track.  These friends were in Little Gym too, so they knew exactly what to do.  ;)
 Waiting on the white line while the air track fills up!


 Time for cake!


 Mmmmmmm
 ... and presents!


 Happy Birthday Casey Josiah!  Love you more than you could ever imagine.

Meeting Trent

Our boys got to meet their new cousin Trent for the first time last weekend.
It was love at first sight.  :)  
Jacob loves babies and kept gently patting his head with one hand and his tummy with the other. 
Olivia came down the stairs that morning and I immediately did a double-take.  It was the same little outfit I have been staring at everyday for two months.  The same little outfit our baby girl was wearing in the only pictures we have of her.  I couldn't believe it!
The boys who will carry on the Holmes name...
...and all of the cousins on Adam's side!
We spent the day together in Seattle!
 
Trent was a little tired so we bought him some coffee.  ;)
 Then we were off to the fountain, the perfect place for little boys to run on a warm Seattle day!
The older cousins had fun running straight to the middle to touch the center and back.
 Casey was a little intimidated, but he will do anything hand-in-hand with his daddy.  ;)
Mommy even joined in on the fun!

A great day with the newest addition to the Holmes family!
