Happy Birthday, Colton!

There is just no way that my Colton can be 3! He is so grown up these days. At Colton's request, we had another "Cars" themed party this year. Friends came over to help celebrate. A lot of fun for Colton, as he was showered that day with love, cake, and presents!

Colton and his best friend, Luke.

Strangely similar to last year's cake!






After we finished opening presents, Grandpa Braziel and Grandma said there was one more in the garage. Colton darted out the door to find the HUGE box!


His first car...Colton was in heaven!

It's pretty cool! Colton can drive, but we have a remote control that can override his driving. It plays music and flashes lights. I'm sure the neighbors have loved their 7 a.m. wake-up call these days as Colton & Nick take it up and down the street!

Toward the end of the party, Colton got his Mr. Incredible costume on and pretended to be on a mission to save the world!
Thanks for the car Grandma & Grandpa!

Not to be forgotten! My little Max had a fun time at the party too! Just a few more weeks until his own!
Here are some of Colton's favorites at Age 3...
Color: Yellow
Toy: Daddy (still)
Superhero: Mr. Incredible
Food: Waffles & Popcorn
Movie: The Incredibles, Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Cars
Outfit: Pajamas
Dessert: Strawberry Ice Cream
Toys: Lightening McQueen Car, Balloons, Playdough, Mickey Mouse Basketball
Past-Time: Exploring the Great Outdoors
Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Activity: Anything Outside
Song: The Happy Birthday Song, Life is a Highway (from Cars)
Why is it that we can't slow down time and keep our children small? I have loved every moment of this little 3 year old, but panic that he is growing up way too fast!
Happy Birthday, Colton! I love you!

The Sunshine!

We are loving the sunshine lately, and today marks the first day of the time change. Both Max & Colton love being outside. Spring came so quick, that we haven't even had time to get new sand for the sandbox. Nevertheless, it is still being enjoyed. Colton turns 3 on Sunday (sniff, sniff) and Max turns 1 a few weeks after that (sniff, sniff, sniff).
