Happy 3rd Birthday, Gavin!

Gavin turned 3 on Monday, and my mind is still reeling as to how he can be that old! Even though it is hard for me to remember my life without him, it is even harder to believe that he has been with us for 3 years! Crazy... Anyway, he had a great day, especially his birthday party that night. My family came up and we had a real party (compard to Ty's)! Yay! We just ate pizza, opened presents, ate Cars cake (of course), and then let chaos unfold around us as we opened all the toys and let the kids play with them!

The highlight of Gavin's night though was getting a Fast Lane Parking Garage from my parents. Ever since we got the Toys 'R Us toy catalog in November, he has insisted on looking at the page with the Garage on it everytime he eats, after which he begs me to "go to the store and buy it." It is extremely gross now with greasy fingerprints and spots where food spilled on it! So all I have to say is THANK YOU Mom and Dad for getting that for him! It's so nice to not have him looking in there anymore and begging me to buy it for him. Overall, it was a great day and we had a great time! And between now and Christmas, we better pray I find a place for all these toys or else Santa may not know where to put anything! ;) Until next time! -Ash



Despite the unexcited look on his face, he really did love opening presents!




Why is it that Tyler could have cared less about opening his own presents, but he loves the idea of opening Gavin's?



The much anticipated parking garage (which by the way, was quite the engineering feat to just put together!).

Gavin, Garrett, Parker and Madi all say Happy 3rd Birthday! And we hope Tyler had a very happy birthday as well!! The toys will not get much easier to put together as they get older either, not to mention taking them out of their packages!

Regarding the parking garage, I have never seen two little boys (Greg and Mike) so engrossed in a toy...of course Gavin, Connor and Aiden enjoyed once they got it away from their dads! What a fun party for Gavin. Congrats to a great three year old! Love Poppy

It blows my mind that you have a three year old! He is such a cutie! Tyler too, I love the timeline that you made for him. He really did add some chunkiness! Your family is adoreable! I'm so glad that I can see them now on your blog!
