Happy Birthday Little Man!

Our 3 year old:)

They were so cute waiting for Mommy to go bye bye with them.

And of course Sissy had her baby doll to go with her too. I'm loving that she loves baby dolls!!!

She also loves to sit at the little table and drink from her tiny tea cup.

And is great at cleaning up her messes. My kind of girl!!

It was a wonderful surprise to get a phone call on Sunday that Grandpa, Grandma, Kiki, and TyTy were on their way to come celebrate pre-birthdays with me and Lincoln! What a fun evening! I love that we live close enough to visit for the day. Thanks for coming, we loved it!!

Lincoln opened his present and Quoi opened Mommy's (a gray and purple jacket!)

Yah! He got a cool car slide. Thanks for setting it up "PaPa!"

So happy!

She is way funny. She gets so excited that everyone is coming and runs all over with excitement. As soon as they get here, she gets so shy. Crazy girl.

The day of the Birthday!

Happy Birthday our sweet boy:) Hope you love being 3. Lincoln has been so fun all day. He was so happy to have his birthday. When Grandma Deanna and Daddy called to sing "Happy Birthday" he sang right along with them. He got to have a party tonight. It was so fun to prepare for it. And he loved every minute so it was totally worth it! He loved having so many friends around him. (Although it was a bummer his two best friends Grant and Inara were both sick and couldn't make it.) He even got to stay up late with Mommy to watch Toy Story 3 and read books till after 10pm, not too often that happens! We love you man! You are such a fun little guy with SO much energy that you keep Mommy skinny chasing after you, so thanks! You are such a sweet guy and we love that you love to cuddle with us at night before you go to bed.

I'm sorry Daddy that you weren't able to be here for all the festivities, I have been thinking about you all the time and missing you like crazy! Even after all these times apart, I still miss having you around. One day... :) I took lots of pictures just for you.

Mikey has been gone since Wed and has just been sitting in a little hotel in Chugwater, Wy waiting around for a job to be ready for them. Every day the job pushes to "tomorrow night." Hopefully "tomorrow night" will come soon! We were so spoiled to get to have him for a whole week in St. George.

I made the cupcakes last night. Some tiny little fingers got some this morning and made a big mess. But it was his birthday, what do ya do??

She LOVED them!

I went to check on Linc while he was in his room for quiet time and this is what I found. Love it!

So darling

The cake/cupcakes in progress.

Moon Dough, awesome!

Hi Darling Quoia:)

Seriously do I make faces like that all the time?! Almost all of them are crazy. I was way more excited than Linc was!

From Mommy and Daddy...

"Yeah!" And baseball set

Another awesome face.

My finished project. Not perfect but it was way fun to think of and make! He loves Mickey Mouse and didn't have any of those decorations or stuff at the store, so I did it myself.

Linc's finger right down the center. He does things like this at friend's houses, so I figured whatever! Its your birthday Bubba!

Corbin. His Dad and I have decided he is Quoi and Linc's twin. He totally looks like Linc when he was younger! Corbin and Quoi are a few weeks apart.

Such a cute kid!!

I had a meeting with the Child Development Center (CDC) today about how Lincoln did on his testing and evaluations. He is officially starting pre-school with them on Monday! Its so soon! But we are excited! About a month ago they were closing him out of speech because he is doing so wonderful! They did some overall routine screenings and discovered how "busy" he is. He passed and is ahead in the Cognitive area, with a percentile of 91 (numbers, shapes, colors, alphabet with recite and by sight, etc). But when tested in the Social/Emotional area he had a percentile of 4! Wow. Even while we were in the meeting talking about his scores, he was giving them a run for their money. Seriously, after a while I just started laughing because he was so BUSY! I'm sure they were so happy to say goodbye to us today:)

We are really excited to get Lincoln started 8 months earlier than he normally would have for pre-school. Their classes are 4 kids to one teacher which is awesome! We are hoping it will be a good experience for him and help with whatever he will be needing. Classes are Mondays and Wednesdays for 2.5 hours. And the best part of all, he doesn't have to be potty trained to go! They will help! Woot woot! Hopefully by watching other kids it will motivate him!

These two were so funny! All he wanted to do was open his own present. (Ignore me! I'm talking to Mike on the phone telling him about everything going on and Kim is recording. )
