Brandt turned 3 on May 4th. Just like every other mother out there I'm sure, I just keep wondering where the time has gone. It seems like he has grown up so fast (and not just because he's so huge for his age.)
For months and months Brandt said that he wanted to have a Curious George cake like last year. He couldn't be persuaded so I just planned on doing that and figured that would be easy since I already had everything to do it with. Then...about 4 days before his birthday he decided he wanted a Buzz and Woody (or Moody as Brandt says) cake. After a couple days of panic, Bryce ended up in Logan with a friend and found these toy story figures that I could use. It then took me 2 tries to get a cake made that would work (yes, I struggle) and then it still didn't end up perfect like I wanted it, but it was worth all the stress cause buddy loved it.
Brandt also wanted a pizza party at the park, so we braved the cold winds in order to grant his birthday wish.
My grandparents even insisted on coming instead of us going to visit them afterward. I think they froze but they didn't complain too much.
Kylie peeking out at Amanda Jean, who had lots of fun even though her little nose and hands were bright red and ice cold.
Patiently waiting for pizza. Adrie, Kaylen, Riley, Brandt, and Emmalea peeking over her car seat in the back.
Brandt's favorite food; cheesy sticks from Studebaker's. He can down 1/2 an order of them by himself!
The Thompson family (at least some of them.)
And the Pugmire side.
Brandt insisted on putting his own candles on his cake.
What a cutie!
Make a wish!
Then on to all the presents. It took a lot longer this year 'cause he wanted to stop and play with everything he opened instead of moving on to the next one.
Yay for new boots!
Another favorite, Buzz Lightyear from Gma and Gpa Thompson.
It's so much fun to watch his facial expressions and excitement when he's opening stuff.
He is obsessed with taking pictures so we found him his own camera. ($3 at Family Dollar, gotta love that!)
After he opened it, I had a hard time getting any pictures of him without it.
He had so much fun playing at the park and didn't care about how cold it was one bit.
Entertaining himself with his new birthday toys while I fed sister and we waited with Jana to get her car broken into by the cops (accidentally locked keys in car with Amanda Jean; oops:)
And one more shot with his camera...
Brandt was a typical 3 yr old all day and naughty, naughty clear until his party and then he was so good. He ended up having a great time playing with his cousins and eating pizza. What an amazing, funny, busy, and cute boy he is and we're so blessed to have him in our family. Happy birthday Brandt buddy! I love you this much!!
