Cohen's 3rd Birthday

{june 20th}

 I have a 3 year old now.

And he's mighty proud to be one.

I feel like according to Cohen to his day was perfect.

He was on cloud 9 the whole day, smiling and VERY happy with life.

I hate to admit that I deleted all the pictures of his birthday breakfast and opening gifts, SAD. The night before his birthday Brock and I snuck in his room and hung streamers and balloons across his whole cealing. He was quite surprised, to say the least, when he woke up. We had orange rolls, muffins, fruit & yogurt for breakfast. And he was the best ever this time at opening gifts. He loved it! It was like this was the first time he really understood what was going on.

After opening gifts, we headed to Storytime at our library. Cohen LOVES Storytime. They sing, dance, read books, and make a craft once a week. And they even sang Happy Birthday to him, which he thought was pretty dang cool.

 After Storytime, we went to Let's Jump with Co's cute friends Ty and Kaylee. They are such cute friends and the best examples for Cohen. They played nonstop for about two hours. After jumping, we ate Lunchables in our van with the a/c blasting, a park was WAY too hot.

 After dropping Ty & Kaylee off, we headed home for a little R&R and naptime. After recharging our batteries, we went swimming at our friends The Webb's neighborhood pool. I think this was the most fun part of the day for us all. It wasn't too hot, wasn't crowded and we spent the perfect amount of time there, before we got kicked out by some serious black rain clouds.

 Cohen is becoming quite brave in the water, big progress.

 Brendon on the other hand, is FEARLESS.

 On our way home from the pool, we ended the day with dinner at "Old McDonalds" requested by Cohen. He snarfed his happy meal down, then played in the play area just like a three year old.

 He is proud to be three.

On our drive home from dinner, he said "Mom, am I STILL three?" which was asked a few more times for the next couple of days.

When he was talking on the phone to some family wishing him a happy birthday, he was telling them about his new book, 'Who's Your Hero?' which is a children's book about scripture stories.....during telling them about it he was asked who his hero was and he said, "my dad is my hero!" all on his own. 
And I believe him.

The whole day was special.

Very close to a perfect day.

Happy Birthday to my sweet 3 year old!!

I LOVE YOU CO.
