The Big 3

Today is the day our big boy turns 3. I really can't believe it. He is growing up so fast and has quite the personality. He is independent, funny, social...yet does not like to be the center of attention, animated, and (of course in my opinion) very very smart! He is strong willed or "spirited" as some have called it, yet so loving and sweet. He tells us multiple times a day that he loves us. He loves to sing, dance, play ball, ride in tractors, and read books. He knows it's his birthday and didn't waste any time taking advantage of it. First thing this morning, he announced, "I need 3 breakfast-es because I'm 3." We love this kid and feel so blessed that he was given to our family! Lately, his big thing is to make faces at the camera. Truthfully, it will be a miracle if we get his 3 year pictures done because he absolutely loathes getting pictures taken and is not into smiling when there is pressure to do so. Here are a few of his faces:

happy...of course, he had just seen his tractor birthday cake!

Oh yes we did. In truth, I came up with the idea and game plan and Chad executed. That's why I married him. So many hidden talents.

Happy Birthday, Luke!

More pics to come...we had a fun joint birthday party for the boys this weekend!
