Griffin's and Emma's Birthday Weekend!!!

I can NOT believe that it has really been 3 years since we lived across the world in China, having one of the biggest adventures of our lives - bringing this little guy into the world!!! It has been such a blur and such a quick 3 years, and also some of the best years we could ask for.  Griffin is the funniest kid, always smiling, doing silly things, making silly faces, copying his brother, loving his sister, and just the sweetest little boy around.  He makes us all laugh each day and we love him so much!  He is so cute and we are so glad he is part of our family.

Our little blondy boy! 3 years old July 13, 2013!

 I feel lucky to call myself his mommy!



 He is so easy going and didn't care much about presents!  Just was excited to have anything!

 Cash does care and was super excited to give him a gift that he had picked out!

 This face says it all - pure joy!!!

 Can never have too many of these with boys in the house!

 Daddy helping put the power ranger motorcycle together.....such interest and quiet for 5 seconds!

We went to the circus for his birthday and it was AWESOME!!! Once again Chip got the box at the staples center and it was a great time.  We loved the elephants, the tigers, and the amazing trapeze artists!





So cool!
 

18 tigers in one cage with one man.....wouldn't want to be that man!!!

Ivy and Griffin watching - Ivy LOVED every second of it just as much as the boys!

 Dancing and watching with daddy!




 The cake!!!  Griffin wanted sports and so this is what I came up with.  I decided to go simple this year, and although it might not look that simple it really was much easier than some of the ones I have done in the past!  SO it seems simple.  It was a lot of fun and tasted super yummy too!!!



 Griff was a little afraid of the candle again this year so Cash had to show him how it's done first!

 That convinced him and he hopped up to take his place!



 So happy with his first attempt at blowing!

 Showing 3 fingers!

 Happy boy!






 He is SO cute! And so eager to get a piece of each ball on the cake!

 Digging in!

Emma's birthday was Sunday and we were all excited to take her breakfast in bed!  Yummy!

 She picked out a pasta alfredo dinner we did up and actually made her own pie that she wanted to try out for her birthday cake/dessert!  We couldn't find the candles that night so settled on 2 matches for her to blow!!!

 Here she is right before her wish!!!  She makes 26 look good!  We love having her with us and getting to celebrate her life with her! The pie was SOOOOO good too!

Yeah for birthdays and getting to celebrate the lives of 2 of my favorite people in this world!!!
Great weekend!!!
