The Terrifying Threes

Tommy is THREE! He had a fun birthday party, despite the wind and rain. Justin and I got up bright and early to make his birthday cupcakes. It was nice to be up before the kids and spend some time together, talk about when Tommy was a baby, his first word, his first step... where does the time go? Time is just so precious.




Tommy had a rough start to his day. When Justin and I heard him stirring in his bed, we grabbed the camera and came in to sing him happy birthday. He wasn't thrilled about waking up with a camera in his face. He cheered up when he saw the cupcakes, and he had a blast at his party. We didn't get a lot of pictures, but we got a lot of video. We're going to be uploading them within the next few days, so look out for them on facebook. He was so darn cute in his turtle costume, that he picked out himself. He charmed the lady at the costume store enough that she was throwing tons of free party stuff in the bag after we checked out. Tommy the charmer. :)

Justin dressed up as a Roman god, I was princess peach, and Tristan was a puppy. It was so much fun! I can't wait for next year, since we will be in the states. It will mean a lot to us for family to be at future birthday parties.

After we got home, Tommy was in toy heaven. He got a lot of cool toys that I think will keep him busy for a long time. Here are some pictures from the party!

Baby Smiles & Party Planning

Tristan has been growing so fast! One of my friends has a baby who is 5 months old, and Tristan is the exact same size! Tristan is 3 months old now. Time is buzzing by so fast.


Look at that little face! He just steals my heart!

I'm planning Tommy's birthday party and decided on the theme "Born to Be Wild". It's very fitting, very Tommy. His decorations will be wild animals. I'm hoping most of the attendees will wear their Halloween costumes. I made his invitations the other day, and I'm happy with how they turned out. We're all so excited for his party, it's going to be so much fun. He's turning 3!! How did that happen?

Tommy is so much fun these days. He's constantly talking, and everything that comes out of his mouth is certifiably hilarious. I've actually started writing down the things he says, because I never want to forget any of it.



And, another picture of Tristan to show how big he is. He isn't really chubby anymore, just built big. He's my big healthy boy! He has the sweetest disposition. All it takes for him to smile is to hear you talking to him, or if you play with his feet or cheeks. He's a dream, and I'm crazy for this boy.
