Holy Smokes. Can I just say time goes triple speed once you have kids. They insist on growing up so ridiculously fast it's just insane! So yes, my baby is now a three year old.
The night before his birthday we put up streamers in the house, just like every other year. This year in the morning when we got up to fix the ones that fell Weston actually caught us. He snuck up behind us and goes "uh oh guys, what are you doing?!" Haha I told him he had to go back in so we could record him and he played along quite well :) Here's that video.
After that we started the day like all of his other birthdays, we headed to the zoo. I'm kind of loving the traditions that we have going. It's fun and it gives him something he knows he can look forward to. This year we went with my mom and sister. It was nice and chill, and both the boys loved it.
Both of them admiring the streamers
Seriously, he just woke up looking bigger on his birthday! Who is that kid?!
They really love each other most days
Weston was telling Colton some Tiger story
This pretty much sums up how the trip went :)
All of these were taken on his birthday at the zoo... how is he so big?!
After the zoo we went and had a quick lunch with Rob, and then went back to the house for the boys to nap while I made the cake. That evening was the main party. We reserved a room at Leo's place, a kid play place that has a big toy for the kids to play in, an arcade, awesome food, and those rides you put a quarter in and it rocks back and forth with your kids in it for a minute...that is Weston's favorite part.
We just invited family, but there were still SO MANY people there! I think 28 was the final number... but I could be missing someone :) Weston is so loved, and so spoiled! The kid made like 15 bucks, and got well over 10 presents. Yeah... kinda spoiled.
Camo cupcakes :) SUCH a process... but so much fun :)
This is how they always talk with each other
Full of excitement!
He's pretty stoked about the backpack from Neena, and SO ready to start preschool now :)
Once the party was finally over we cleaned up and headed home. Both boys were exhausted, but we let Weston open a few of his presents and try them out :) He kept saying over and over all day "Thank you so much for my birthday! This is such a great day! Thank you thank you thank you!" I'd say it was a success :)
This last weekend was epic. And very Exhausting. But mostly epic. We realized that our weekends are going to keep getting crazier for the next few months, so we wanted to have as much fun this weekend as possible with the boys.
Friday after Rob got off work we went fishing. A work buddy of Rob's showed us a new place that Weston LOVES to run around and play at. We haven't caught a fish there yet, but it is still so fun that we don't even are :)
Saturday morning we were up early on our way for an adventure :) We started up in Heice/Kelly Canyon area. We stopped for a small hike to stretch our legs, and eat some lunch.
look at these boys :)
After lunch it started to thunder and rain pretty good, so we decided to get back in the car and continue on. We ended up in Swan Valley where I have heard of this epic waterfall, but never actually seen it. Of course Rob knew right where it was :)
SO pretty! And the boys that it was awesome. Again the rain started to catch up to us, so we decided since we were so close to the store, we had to stop for some square ice cream.
We ate the ice cream in the thunderstorm, and finally headed back home. We were home by 4, and everyone was pretty exhausted. Colton was even cuddly. I napped with Colton while Weston and Rob watched Finding Nemo.
It was such a fun day! The boys had a blast, and loved that we actually got to take Bors. Such a fun weekend.
And from earlier this week, just some fun pics :)
working on our food storage
this kid LOVES the splash pad. He gets more wet than Weston almost everytime :)
And Colton got to try watermelon for the first time. He kind of loved it... a lot
