Three came too fast!

Jake turned three and wow it has gone by so fast. What a joy this kid is! For his birthday we had a knight party. It totally fit Jake, he is always playing the prince or knight and saving some princess from the witch or bad guy. I don't know why but I love making random fun cakes for the boys and luckily my mom is always game and such a huge help as well as my dad for keeping the kids entertained while we start in on our project. We had family over and had some BBQ buffalo sandwiches and then presents which they ripped into so fast and cake. Its so fun to have family so close to celebrate and we love having my family come down. We even did our first pinata this year. Note to self: don't do it in the house, even if it is freezing outside! The kids always love pinatas so we fought the dragon.

Look at my boys! All four of them are a handful!

This was our decor, I thought the brave knight looked just like Jake with that brown hair and big eyes

This is his knight/prince costume that Grandma Burgess made! Wow she is talented, it even has a tunic to go under it. I don't know who loves it more, him or me.

This is a typical battle in our house and now it will become an even more common occurance with four swords. 

If you look at Cassie's face, that is how we all felt every time any of the kids swung the bat, especially Jax.

Our cake!

There are a so many things we love about you Jake but since you are now three we want you to know three special things we love right now. 

We love those bright eyes! They tell us all exactly how you are feeling and they sparkle when you smile that irresistable smile.

You have always been so good to share your things and are very rarely selfish with what you have, what a good friend.

You can make us laugh at any moment in time even when we should be fuming!
