The BIG 3 Party!

Since we were out of town on Cutter's actual birthday, we had his party at the house the next weekend! It was very nice to have everyone together, and get all the festivities out of the way.

Dad and Hanaba couldn't make it, so they stopped by early to give him an early present.

Susan also stopped by early, and brought Cutter an awesome car rug. He loves this, and plays with it on a daily basis. In fact, I've already had to wash it.

Here's the traditional before shot. It's usually the only time I can get all of us together.

Rylee, Karsen and Kori!

Jami and Becca!

Cutter finally got his own suitcase (Thanks Tyler and Ashely). The poor baby didn't understand why he didn't have a suitcase to take with us to South Dakota! Needless to say, he's ready for our next road trip!

Nanny's music cards always make him laugh!

Cute little cousins took their guns to lunch!

Don't laugh...Here's the John Deere cake I made. I tried to quit and go buy one at the last minute, but I had waited to long. The nice lady at United tried to help me make the field look more realistic, but I'm not so sure it worked. The cup cakes were really good, they just had three times the icing...watch out!

He blew out the candles before we were even finished singing Happy Birthday!

Silly boy, I love you!

Cutter, my precious baby, I can't believe you are already THREE years old! Time does fly by when you are having fun. I can remember holding you in the hospital like it was yesterday, but at the same time, it seems like you've been a part of our lives forever. You always bring so much excitement and energy to the room! You are a typical little boy who loves tractors and dirt. Your favorite color is Red, and you share that with everyone. You enjoy being the center of attention, and usually do whatever it takes to be in the spot light. Some people might not believe it, but you do have a soft side. When I wake you up in the morning, you are so sweet and love to snuggle. I love holding you, and listening about the dreams you had. My heart melts when you tell me, "I always wanted a mommy like you!" (I think you got the quote from Roo, but it means just the same coming from you.) and, "I love you SO much, Mommy!" Thank you for being you, and bring so much joy in my life! I love you baby all the way around the world!

Here's the top THREE things I love about you!

1. The way you sing "Good Morning Beautiful" to your sister in the morning.

2. I love the way you are a Momma's boy. This has no affect on your boyish nature!

3. I love your SILLY dances. You sure can get down when you want to,
and play one heck of an air guitar in the car!
