Kyle's 3rd Birthday

Kyle listening to his gramma sing "Happy Birthday" to him that morning with a big smile on his face. Marcee and the boys also called and sang to him that morning. (Spencer also received these musical phone calls. They both loved it).

Kyle's family party

We already had this leap pad but it broke months ago. He was very happy to get another one. Look at that SMILE!

A Goofy hat from Disneyland...what a surprise!

My dad always writes on all our family birthday cakes. Doesn't he do a great job?

Kyle loves when we sing to him. "Happy Birthday to You" is one of his favorite songs.

Make A Wish

My grandpa makes home made ice-cream for every birthday party. Kyle loves yellow and asked for yellow ice-cream, and since Baaba(grandpa)thinks you should get what you want on your birthday, he was up to the challenge and made yellow. The flavor was lemon...it was GOOD! Kyle also asked for cookie, so Baaba made Cookies and Cream...a favorite among this family as well. Thank you Baaba!!

Kyle's new scooter. He's been wanting a scooter like Spencer for a while so he was very excited.

Kyle's birthday was a lot of fun. He chose the Curious George theme and I thought this was perfect because I think Kyle IS Curious George! His friend party was a little easier to plan for me because he's a lot younger than Spencer and there weren't as many kids. I think we had about 10 little ones. We had lunch, played a game, then ended on a pinata and presents. They also just had fun playing outside on the toys. As Kyle's birthday got closer, he said he wanted a yellow birthday, yellow presents and yellow cake. I decorated with yellow balloons and bananas and made yellow cupcakes with yellow frosting. He was very happy with that. I had a lot of fun planning these birthday parties but I sure am glad to be done until next year!

Spencer's 7th Birthday

Our traditional "Doughnut Birthday Breakfast"

Every year we get doughnuts for breakfast on the boys' birthdays.

A couple of little chocolate lovers.

Spencer was very surprised to get a new bike. He was not expecting it at all.

Pizza Party Decor'

Spencer's birthday came and went very quickly. He chose to have a "pizza party" months ago. We had so much fun preparing and planning for it. He loves everything he got and had a great birthday.

Spencer and Kyle dancing to our favorite birthday song. We listen to it ALL DAY on each of our birthdays.

We had Spencer's friend party after school the day before his actual birthday. We had the kids all decorate their own pizza dough(made ahead of time by Tyler. I think he made about 17 or 18 pizzas). I had all kinds of toppings for them to choose from. We cooked them all at the party so they could eat some before they went home. This was a lot of work but the kids all had a blast doing it. Stephanie made things a lot easier on me by taking Kyle during the party, and both my sisters were a huge help with the party before, during and after. Thanks you guys! We also played a pizza game and had a pinata. Spencer loved his pizza party....note to self....next year, try to limit the attendance to 10 kids instead of 16!! We survived.

Three Years Ago....

Four years after Spencer was born, we welcomed another bundle of joy to our family. It was September 15th (which happens to also be my grandparents anniversary) and Kyle made his arrival at 1:24 p.m. that afternoon. The three of us were so excited to meet him, especially Spencer. Waiting 9 months for a brother is hard on a kid!! But he was absolutely worth it. We instantly fell in love.

Birthday Boy!!

This little guy is such a blessing to our family. I love that I get to see his adorable face everyday. He has an extremely vast amount of energy, and I only hope I can keep up with him throughout the years to come. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.

Three things I love about Kyle...

1. The sparkle in his crystal blue eyes

2. His cute, cute, cute little round face (with dimples I might add) and how it becomes even rounder when he smiles.

3. His spunky personality...this child is quite a character and has the ability to bring a smile to any one's face.

I am truly grateful to have Kyle as my little boy. He brings such a wonderful spirit into our home. We love having him around and watching him grow each day. He has such a zest for life at such a young age and has a wonderful big brother who he looks up to and adores.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!! WE LOVE YOU!!
