lots and lots of birthday pictures

jake had his third birthday...
like 2 months ago.
i am seriously behind.
anyway, here are some of the festivities.

we had a little celebration with the jorgensens.
ethan has a birthday 2 days after jake.










we then celebrated with the rasmussens.
it was like torture for jake to look at his cake all day.
he had to wait until after church and dinner were over.
he couldn't have cared less about the cake,
but oh how he wanted to play with those cars.



i know that you are wondering why 2 candles.
well, yes he did turn three,
but he was sharing the cake with mia.
you need a candle for each kiddo for sure.

grandma spoiled him by letting him open his present early.
she was hoping it would be a distraction from the cake.




finally...
the time had arrived for the cake.
i LOVE maddie's bored expression.




mia ended up with her own cute pink cake,
so jake got to blow out 2 candles for his third birthday.


who let matt have the matches?!?

finally he got the cars.
i don't think he even ate a piece of cake.
most of all, i wanted to put this picture on the blog
because i LOVE maddie's bored expression in the background.
hehehe.  love you maddie! 


newly baptized, birthday girl, mia! 


there was joy all around!







and then there were the birthday festivities that we had the day of, with our own family





he got lots of cars 2 cars and a slide.
somehow, i don't have a picture of him on his slide,
but he LOVES it.
we have it in his playroom and he plays on it everday. 







um..you can't eat that.





we went to the rec center in vernal for some swimming
during toddler hour.
the boys had so much fun
and did not want to get out!





we then played in the gym with all the toddler toys.





three celebrations for our 3 year old boy!
we love you jakester!

outside

we have LOVED this weather.
warning: lots of pictures follow.
don't be jealous of our "yard".




discovering dirt!







playing with a fork and spoon, until...

the spoon breaks.


lots and lots of energy to expend through
running
&
jumping






directing traffic



nothin' like sleeping in the fresh air!
