He's three!!!

Caleb turned three on Sunday and were partying all weekend long! We went up to Show Low for the weekend and enjoyed some cooler weather. Saturday we loaded up the car to go have a picnic at the park and this is what we saw while we were driving...


Obviously not the greatest weather for a picnic. In fact it started hailing on us and we thought it was going to dent our car! Needless to say we turned around and went back to my parents house for a "picnic" at their house.
Caleb loved opening presents and singing Happy Birthday to blow out the candles on the cake.


Ha, ha. When I asked Caleb to look at me and smile this is what I got (no he's not blinking).



On Sunday we went up to visit Grandma and Grandpa Gunnell at their cabin in Pinetop. We had a great time going to church and eating lunch/dinner with them. That night we went to another birthday party to celebrate all of the July birthdays on my Mom's side of the family. Caleb got to open a lot more presents. He was very excited about each one yet he was feeling quite shy with all of the people watching him. (When we got home the next morning he kept bringing me all of his news toys and showing me how cool they were. He just kept running from one to another to another so exited, it made me laugh:) We also had cake and ice cream (again!) and then we left to head home to the heat of the valley again.
All day Monday he got new visitors coming to bring him a present. He was starting to get quite excited when the door bell would ring! That night we went swimming with some friends and had a great time!

I'm so grateful for my sweet Caleb. He is my little helper around the house and he is a good big brother. Although he is a little rough with Kyson sometimes, he loves to play with him. I can't believe it was only three years ago that I became a mother, but I LOVE it! I wouldn't trade it for anything!
