Happy Birthday Casey!!

We started off Casey's birthday with his favorite pancakes.  It's become a little tradition with our boys to put candles in them too.  ;)
 My friend invited us to go to Northwest Trek with her that morning.
 My boys had a great time with her boys!
 Casey loves looking at the animals
 and climbing on anything he can!
When we got home, I made him some hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream, and sprinkles.  I didn't even make him take a nap.  ;)
 Later, we went to Red Robin for the big birthday dinner.
 We thought it was pretty funny that the spoon was tied to the end of the balloons.  He wasn't sure what to do with it!
 Once we got back home, Casey helped me make cupcakes.
 Daddy got home just in time to watch him open presents while the cupcakes were baking!
 Jacob worked hours and hours on this little cake tier craft.  He did it all by himself and was so proud and excited to give it to Casey!  I was blown away by his love and thoughtfulness. 
 Happy Birthday buddy!  It is an honor to be your mommy and I love you so so much!

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!

 Waiting for his friends to arrive
 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.
