So its official, my baby boy turned 3 on Feb 13th 2010. We had his party at Highland Park in Washington and it could not have been a better day for him. He had lots of friends and family come to the party and the weather was so beautiful. 70 degrees and sunny, gotta love Saint George weather. Gabe's friends Logan, Michael, Lillian, and Bracken we so cute and they all really enjoyed themselves.
This year we did things alittle different and I went all "Suzy Homemaker" and baked 50 cupcakes, and this amazing spiderman face. I know, I know your totally blown away by my talent. It was actually really cute because when I was done doing it, I held Gabe up to see my masterpiece and he said, "Mommy, It's beautiful, I love it". And that is all that matters so laugh all you want.
Me and my very good and dependable friend Charlie baked and frosted all of the cupcakes on Friday night, it took a total of 5 hrs of continuous baking and frosting to accomplish this amazing feet.
Uncle "Johnny Rock" was able to come into town from California this weekend, as well and Aunt Taryn and Mackenzie which was a real treat for Gabe, He really enjoys when they come to visit.
Uncle Dennis and Aunt Sherri and their granddaughter Trynity came from Phoenix Arizona as well this weekend so it ended up being a great party with lots of family in town.
Nana was amazing and such a trooper, he back has been really hurting since Papa passed in November. They think that lifting him those last few days caused her De generative disk disease to really speed up. She wasnt sure if would be able to come, but as usual she was there and smiling the whole time. I love how close Gabe is to all of his family. WE are truly blessed to have such amazing family that we can count on.
We got Gabe a Spiderman Pinata which was lots of fun, somehow I managed to cram 2 five pound bags of candy into the poor guy which made him really heavy. The plastic thing that you tie the rope to broke through because of the weight and that is why in the picture with Uncle John he is tying the rope around spidermans neck. It was the only way for the kiddo's to keep trying to break it open because it fell the ground still intact.
Eventually after much perseverance on the kid's part they eventually got every last piece of candy out of spiderman.
Luckily I came prepared with lots of shopping bags for the Kiddo's to load up there candy in so everyone got plenty. I am sure that there parents were super stoaked that each of them got at least a pound of candy to go home with.
Our good friend Lee, the manager of a local pizza store here in Saint George, was amazing as usual he came to party bearing every child's favorite food. PIZZA and one of the pizza's had a special message for Gabe. If you look closely its say's Happy Birthday Gabe. It was really thoughtful of him make a special one just for Gabe, not to mention the 8 pizza's he he provided for the party for FREE.
Yay for free pizza!!
And lastly before we enjoyed our cupcakes and Rootbeer floats and sent every one home we opened presents, presents and more presents. Gabe got so many new toys and clothes that it took two cars to take it all home. I am not sure Gabe needed that much stuff, but he sure has enjoyed each and every presents he got. His favorite present being a golf club set from Kaley, Bernie and Logan Buhler. It was so difficult to keep his attention on opening presents after he saw that, he ended up heading up the grass with Logan to play golf as I finished opening all of his presents.
In case anyone is wondering, Bud was the cameraman for most of the party so I dont have any pictures of him yet. Troy took many great pictures of the birthday party so I am sure we will have some fun one's of Daddy real soon.
So after a very long and eventful day full of family, friends and good times we headed off to my friend Troy's photography studio to get family photo's done.
Look for our family photo's in just a few days.!!
