Bubba, the Birthday Boy!

3 YEARS OLD...

and 3 things I love about my birthday boy (though, there are so many).

1. He knows what he wants and he's not afraid to let you know, too. I think stubborn goes along with this. The kid has a will of IRON. (This also drives me nuts)

2. He is ALL boy, from sports, to guns, to what's cool and what's not, to his deep voice and athletic ability. There is no doubt in my mind that gender comes with genetic attributes.

3. He loves to dress just like his dad.

okay, a couple to grow on (I just can't stop at 3).

4. He is so fun to hug and kiss- very squishy but solid at the same time.

5. He sings songs about what he's happy about. "I'm going to McDonalds today to play..."

"Cool Cars" from grandpa Duke.

He was so anxious for his birthday we let him open this present a day early.
Alex's new "big boy bike". This is all he talked about for months.

The birthday party with friends and neighbors.

Look at that adorable smile with the dimple.

Basketball cake and cupcakes for the little athlete. Orange is also his favorite color.

His first Nerf gun (or any gun). This was the other much talked about request. He's been very good about not shooting at people or animals.

Very own tool set from Grandma and Grandpa Mann.

The traditional birthday pinata.

Also a cool hat.
