Happy Happy Birthday, Jaden Dear!!

My little baby is 3 years-old.  Holy cow!!  Where did the time go?  He is learning and growing up so much and way too fast for my taste.  But it's fun to see him grow with a lot of different things and to see him find his "thing": something that he is really into, his nitch, his passion, his interest, etc.  This is the fun part about watching him grow up. 

The night before, Cory and I started on his surprise cake.  His theme this year was "Cars" (the movie).  This was based off of the cake pan that we let him pick out, so we went with it.  This cake...well let's just say I'm glad it's over!  I have a whole new respect for my parents and all of the fun cakes they made us every year.  At least I have a year break in between each one (well...for now! :).

A sigh of relief with the next picture....*ah*.

The next morning, Jaden woke up and he was so excited to find a huge car balloon waiting for him.  It was HIS day, and he had been looking forward to it the entire day before! 

We went to a Children's Museum here in Fayetteville, which is in the downtown historical part.  Really cute little area.  It's a really cheap place to go, and it kept him occupied for a good while!

Mr. PostMan!

Handy Man

This was his absolute favorite exhibit.  He loved pretending he was a dentist.  He cleaned that mouth at every angle possible.  And I mean....

every....

single....

angle..

Checking for missed spots and cavaties.

Now it was Daddy's turn to play dentist.

After the museum, we went home, had a pizza bar in the kitchen and made our own, personalized, english muffin pizzas.  Then we opened presents and had cake. 

It was a great day, and we are so blessed to have Jaden in our lives. We love him so much and would give him the world if we could.
