Scott's 3rd Birthday!

Last week we celebrated Scott's 3rd Birthday! This year we kept things simple for his birthday celebrated with family! I can't believe Scott is 3! He is such a big boy with funny things to say all the time these days.  

We started the day off right with birthday pancakes! The more candles to blow out the better for this guy. He was thrilled! He told Nate "Daddy maybe one day you will be 3. Then I will help you blow out your candles." He also kept thinking Santa had something to do with his birthday. He kept asking about when he was coming. Confusing excitement. But excitement none-the-less!

 I asked Scott what he wanted to do on his birthday (park, zoo, beach, etc.) and he said he wanted to ride scooters on chalk roads outside. So we did just that all morning! No errands, no laundry, no dishes, just play time.

 That night Uncle John and Great-Grandma came over to celebrate with us! We made tacos and had cake and ice cream.

 More candles on a little cake! I asked him what he wished for and he said "A puppy!" Unfortunately, that is not going to happen anytime soon... I didn't even know he knew what wishing meant!

 Happy boy!

Scott got a bike for his birthday and has been loving it! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! Scott had a very happy day! Happy Birthday Scotty!

Extreme Swinging!

We take swinging very seriously in this family...

Where did Scott go?!

These two! They are birds of a feather and always have the best time together!

Halloween!

A very scary wolf!

Few things in life are better than toddlers in oversized animal costumes. This is true!

That face...

Boo!

Scott's face when you ask him to say cheese looks just like a jack-o-lanterns any time of year :)
