Happy 3rd Birthday Brady!

A few things about Brady as he turns 3 years old:
* He can make any plate of food resemble a construction site
* His favorite activity is to cuddle under a blanket while reading a book although he must have his pillow pet, giraffe lovie & blanket in place before we can begin.
* Brady can be bossy at times.
* Loves his big sister! He desperately wants to share all of his "news" with her.  He only refers to her as "Sissy".
* Enjoys puzzles
* A bit slow on the potty training front...Mom is more than ready for Brady to move into this next phase of his life!
* Brady can have a bit of a temper at times when he gets frustrated or mad.
* Loves taking warm (actually, hot) showers and baths and "shaving" his beard and mustache is a must!
* Brady is very picky about his wardrobe and regardless of the weather, he insists on wearing short sleeves every day.
* Brady has an infectious laugh that can makes our whole family crack up.

And here is our birthday boy's day in pictures:
Waking Up
I think it may be time for Brady to get a "big boy bed" :)

Helping out by getting Sadie her morning cookie


Time to pick up Sissy from school...






A playdate with his best buddy, Chase

Someone is not fond of the idea of taking a nap today...
...but he finally surrenders.

An afternoon snack
And some arts and crafts before dinner at Red Robin.
He's all smiles until he realizes that all those people are coming to our table :)


He wasn't sure of what to make of all the singing...
but he LOVED the ice cream sundae 
(unfortunately his table manners have not gotten any better with age!)


Present Time!!

"Thanks Sissy!"


Giving some kisses to Woody and Buzz

And just one last bedtime story before lights out!
Happy 3rd Birthday My Sweet Boy!

Brady's Birthday Party

We celebrated Brady's 3rd birthday party at Woodland Park Zoo. He had a great time being the center of attention and we had fun visiting with all our friends and family who joined us. After lunch, cupcakes and presents, we spent the afternoon touring the zoo and checking out the animals. Despite the fact that we had snow the days leading up to and following the party, we were relieved when we had a cold but rain and snow-free day.

Waiting for his birthday celebration to begin!

Lunch

Checkin' out favor bags

CUPCAKES!!!



Presents

Exploring the zoo...
Playing in the Zoomarium




The kids checking out the sea otters
(I love this picture!)

I think this kind of defeats the purpose of renting a wagon, but then again, it kept them busy!





Apparently the birthday party was a success - B was out cold before we even got out of the parking lot!
