Happy Birthday to my THREE year old!

Today you are 3.

I cannot believe that 3 years ago today I woke up in the morning 

and went into labor with you.

{you can read his birth story here}

You are the one that made me a mama.
You are my favorite toddler.
You have the best sense of humor.
You laugh at yourself.
You make me smile every.single.day.

You tell me you love me all the time
and come cuddle up next to me on the couch
and tell me you love to sit with me.
You insist on giving nose kisses, kisses and hugs whenever you go down for a nap/bed
or we are leaving.

You have an A M A Z I N G vocabulary for only being 3.

You are so darn smart 

and say things all the time that we all just are like where did he learn that?!

You are the sweetest and kindest most gentle hearted kiddo I know.

You always want to hug + kiss your baby sister.

You are constantly checking on her 

and if she cries you always tell her it's going to be ok.

You love trains, Mickey Mouse, Baby, being outside, all things sports,

your sister, Avengers, talking, pizza, Tangled, french fries + cheeseburgers, 

your blue shorts + pants, shopping at Old Naby,

your rainboots, Toy Story, running

and anything blue + orange.

I love you so much my sweet, sweet boy!
You are the best thing to happen to me
{besides your sis + daddy}
You made me a mama
thank you!

Love,
mommy

Update via instagram

I thought I'd do a little post of instagram pics to catch you up on what we've been up to lately! 

I know I haven't posted an actual post in awhile so I thought I'd share some of the goings on in our house.

First of all we went on vacation in April to Palm Springs with my parents {they took us} and while we were there we took Zane to Disneyland for a day & to say that he had the best day ever is a complete understatement! 

I have never seen him smile so much in his life... 

I don't think he ever stopped smiling that whole day. The pool at our resort had a little slide for the kiddies and Zane loved it... 

we spent most of our time going up and down with him on it. 

We also ate lots and lots of good food!

    

 My baby belly has been steadily growing and growing... 

This is about week 10 to 17.

 

  

And my boy also turned 2 a few weeks ago, we went to breakfast and then we had a party for him the day before his birthday, 

with a couple of his little friends and then we went out on his actual birthday as a family and had dinner then we got him birthday cupcake 

{because what birthday is complete without a cupcake?!}

  

and finally here is just some fun things we have been up to lately!

I would love a pumpkin spice latte when I first wake up
Latte: Starbucks

With this very cute coffee cozy around
Cozy: Natalya's Studio

And get my nails done like this
Polish: OPI {I Think in Pink}

And wear this outfit {it would all have to be purchased}
Sweater: J.Crew

I really just want to spend the day with my two boys doing anything. That would be the perfect day for me to just be with my family. We could just hang out at home and watch TV all day and that would be just fine with me.
