We had Jaren's party the weekend before his birthday this year, but still simply celebrated his birthday on Wednesday. It was really confusing to him so we didn't do much. Mark got home from work and we took the kids swimming, then to the local gas station for some yummy ice cream. It was a great day and I can't believe my baby is three years old already. Now if only we could figure out how to poop in the pot.

Happy Birthday little man we love you with all our hearts.

Cute stories to go with this as well. As part of our bedtime routine we take a bath, sing three songs, get lotion and pj's, read two books and our daily blessing, say prayers and go to bed. So we start our routine and Jaren is sitting with Mark to sing songs. We generally each get to pick one, so on Wednesday night I picked, Happy Birthday to YOU!!! We are half way through singing the song and Jaren sits straight up and is saying WAIT WAIT WAIT "we have to have cake and ice cream first"

Not birthday related cute story. We were playing in the living room today and Jaren insisted we all wear hats. Then he put the cowboy hat on and I could see a light bulb go off. He said mom we have to throw candy. I couldn't figure out what he was talking about till he started walking by me and pretending to throw candy. He was reenacting the fourth of July parade. The end of the parade was the horses, with people wearing cowboy hats and they were throwing candy at us. So the next hour we had to play parade and pretend to go past each other and throw candy :) So cute.
