Happy 3rd Birthday Ty!!

This year Ty's birthday fell on a Monday (October 5th). This was a perfect day because we could have a birthday party for our Family Night! We invited Ty's closest friends, Isaac and Becca, and of course their siblings and parents came too! We got him some balloons and he picked out the "Bob the Builder" one which surprised me because we had a "car" theme going on, but I guess he had the best of both worlds! I was going to make him a cake, but it was a crazy day, so I went and bought one! All day long he kept asking to have his birthday party! I had to explain that it wouldn't be much of a party if no one was there and that we had to wait until daddy got home and all of his friends came over. He was such a good boy because mom wrapped his presents early and put them on the safe and he never tried to open them! I know it killed him because he asked me ever day if it was his birthday! What a trooper he was!

Those who know my son, knows that he loves anything with tires that go fast or any type of big equipment! I found this big backhoe that makes fun noises, goes forward, and the bug bucket even lifts up and down! I just knew he would love it! Then I found a great deal on a set of Thomas the Train DVDs at Costco! Since his Thomas the Train DVD doesn't work anymore, I decided to get him this set of 6 for only $20! He has really missed watching Thomas and I knew he would just love all these new movies!

We sang "Happy Birthday", lit the #3 candle, and then opened his presents! He opened the backhoe first and I think we should of saved it for last! His friend Isaac helped him open it and instantly fell in love! I guess he has been wanting the same thing! Ty didn't want to share at first, but we finally got it settled and they did a great job sharing it! He loved the DVDs and Isaac got him a really fun jeep with a trailer and backhoe on the back! He plays with it in the bathtub and outside all the time! I asked Ty if he had a good birthday and he said "yes!"

It is crazy to think back 3 years ago and remember the tiny, tiny, tiny baby he once was! There were many problems with my pregnancy and Ty stopped growing so they decided to take him at 37 weeks! He weighed 5 lbs 13 oz and was just the tiniest thing! Josh and I instantly fell in love with him and have enjoyed all the joy and laughter he has brought to our lives! We love our, "Ty Ty" and wouldn't change anything about him! We Love You Ty!!
