Happy 3rd Birthday, Austin!

I can't believe my baby is 3 years old! He really is my best little buddy and I can't squeeze him enough sometimes. He is so independent now and wants to do most things on his own. We are having full blown conversations and he shocks me with the amount of information he retains and regurgitates. Lately has been talking nonstop about a new bike, hence the birthday present below! He's quite an avid sportsman already and loves anything to do with a baseball, basketball, football, golf ball, etc. He's actually pretty coordinated and surprises us with this athletic capabilities. He's active and on the move most of the time (which wears his momma out) so luckily our dog Bailey steps in to entertain sometimes. Unfortunately he gets the brunt of 3 year old actions but he's always a good sport.

Austin insisted we go to Jakob's house to show him his new bike. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of miles between these two!

Austin's birthday party request was to go to the "foam pit." It's a gymnastics studio that has open play time and he absolutely loves to jump into the giant foam pit. We invited a few of his buddies and had a Toy Story themed party. Here's Austin all smiles in the pit.

Daddy couldn't resist jumping in with him!

A few super bounces on the giant trampoline.

The whole gang: Jakob, Aaron, Kalei, Ryia, Austin, Carter and Ava (Jake had to leave early)

And a birthday is not complete without a family celebration at home. Three candles top his strawberry cupcake!

We love you so much little man!
