Happy Birthday Ian

Ian turned 3!

He has been looking forward to his birthday for a long time!! 

We started the day off by making his cupcakes!!  He chose what he wanted and helped make them!

Then he chose one present to open... (of course he chose the best one to open first, oh well!)

Next we headed to the splash park (sorry no pics).  The kids had a blast there!!  They played for about an hour before they were ready to eat!  We had brought food to eat, but there were these really gross annoying birds that made it impossible to enjoy any food.  They would take food right out of their hands... So we left and headed home.  Ian decided he wanted to go to chick-fil-A and we thought that was a good idea for dinner, but not for lunch.. we are in our swimsuits.  He insisted though so we stopped and got french fries at the drive through!!  Big hit!

We got home and put Miranda down for a nap and then frosted our cupcakes!!!

He did a really good job!!  I had to use different frosting to frost the rest because the chocolate frosting got contaminated after multiple licks and dips!! =)

He was so excited when it was finally time for his "party!"  (Consisted of me, dad, and Miranda!)

First he opened presents (no pics again, but I did get it on video!) and was pretty dissapointed.  He expected something other than clothes I guess... =)  He did get a fun new movie, but that didn't really lighten his mood.  I felt really bad!

Then it was time to sing and blow out candles!  He liked that part!  He really isn't a big cake eater so this is what happened instead...

Big mess, but it was his birthday so I let it fly!! =)  We then took him outside and hosed him off!!!

We then decided to watch his new movie... didn't last long!

All in all a pretty good day!!  He had fun, we had fun, he crashed on the couch at like 5:00pm (doesn't take naps anymore) and the best part of the whole day was....

FREE HORSE RIDES ON DAD!!  Ha ha... what a fun birthday!!

Love you Ian!
