three

Today my oldest son Keaton turned 3 years old. I have been in shock all day at the fact that I have a 3 year old. What a wonderful three years it has been too. We had such a fun day today. We played at Grandma Quinn's house today with Ava and Rachel. We went swimming and then came back home for his birthday party. We made it a simple family get together and we made homemade pizza, which all the kids loved, and they we went swimming in our swim pool and then came back for cake and ice cream. This year I wanted to make something cute and fun for Keaton's cake. I found this really cute idea at Target. The idea was a cupcake dino. I completely blew it. But thankfully he is still young and doesn't care. I don't think I am a cake maker at all. Keaton loved all of his gifts! Thanks to all of you who made Keaton feel so special and so loved on his birthday.





Here are some fun things about my little man Keaton that we have noticed over the past 3 years.....
- when Keaton was born he weighed 9 lbs. 9 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long. When the nurse looked at him she commented that he didn't look like the typical newborn.
He was HUGE!
- Keaton was a colic baby. He would drive his mom nuts after 7-8 hours of screaming but his mom still loved him very much.

- he has always been a daddy's boy.
- there is always room for treats
- he loves baseball or any sport that has a ball involved. He will usually hit the baseball 9 out of 10 times. He is that good.

- he is a very sensitive boy when it comes to feelings.
- he loves grandma and grandpa's house
- his best friend is his Andrew, his younger brother.
- he loves nursery and all the stories about Jesus.
- he loves to be tickled to sleep just like his mom.
- he loves The Incredibles
- he is a leader, he is so willing to help out (especiall in nursery, he helps out quite a bit)
- he is very creative and has started to play well by himself
- he loves to wrestle
- he is just so darn CUTE!

Happy Birtday sweetheart! We love you so much and we are so happy you are in our family. Life just wouldn't be the same without you. I think Heavenly Father sent you to us so that we wouldn't feel that lonely space that was left empty. You have changed our lives and we can't wait to see what life has in store for you. We love you so much Keaton. I LOVE YOU!
