Third time is a charm ...

I had a great third birthday this year ... I love all of you! Here are some pictures of the fun ...

Happy birthday Emery!!!

Tic tic tic  ... countdown to the big day!!!

Grandma Judy and the masked Emery!!!
Grandma Judy and Grandpa Eric drove all the way 
down to make sure my third birthday was a blast!!!

We had a pre-birthday celebration 
with balloons, candles, and cake ...

... and then it was party games time ... 
Avery dominated, but she gracefully helped out Grandpa Eric ...

... and Grandma Judy each and every hand!!!

We all went to the fairy museum 
and had a grand old time ...

... in fairy town, we could "hover" over all the people and villages ...

... and even see all the fairies come and go!!!

At the end of the night, 
Grandma Judy read us both great bedtime stories!!!

On Emery's actual birthday, the day started 
with a shout-out to her at story time ...

... then a nice long dog walk ...

... and then a quick test of the pool water's temperature ...
it was perfect!!!

Then it was time to get ready for the party!!!

Sophie playing "Hunger Hunger Hippo" with Avery ...

... then into the cool pool water ...

... for tons and tons of fun pool time ...

... with all my good friends, where some like to get crazy ...

 .. and some like to be more quiet and comfortable ...

... and then we had lots of grilled meats and party foods ...

... until it was finally time for BIRTHDAY CAKE ...

... Grandma Wendy made the super-duper best 
Micky Mouse cake ever ...

... and Emery has no trouble blowing out all of her candles!!!

Everyone enjoying lots and lots of cake!!!

Emery testing out her new Minnie-Mouse bicycle!!!

Picking out only one bedtime story 
is always tough ...

... so instead it's great to talk
Grandma Judy into reading all of them!!!

Thanks for all the good times and well wishes ... I love all of you!!!

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!!!

Avery and I had a very special Mother's Day today with Mommy ...

First, we all went on an early carefree trail ride ...

... next we did some much needed home gardening ...

... then we all jumped into a nice warm bath ... 
we gave Mommy the full spa experience!!!


After a bath, we got all fancied-up with Mommy's makeup ...

... Emery went heavy with the eye shadow ...

... and Avery with lots of everything!!!

At the end of the day we made Mommy a wonderful 
floor picnic BBQ dinner and watched her favorite movie ...  
The Princess Bride!!!
Happy Mother's Day!!!
