Drew Boy is 3!!

We had a pretty low key birthday "party" for Drew.  He got a few cool presents, a Mickey Mouse cake, and we took him to Burger King for dinner.  We sure went all out!!  haha!!!  Well, all that counts is that he was happy. 

Drew,
You are such a joy!  We love you so much and we cannot believe that you are 3!!!  You are such a sweet little boy. 

I'll believe it when I see it...

Another sweet picture

There is something about this picture I just love.  Perhaps it is because they look so sweet and innocent??

My dear sweet boy.

Today was absolutely gorgeous.  Sunny and 70 (well it was 70 for about an hour, but I am not complaining about it because the whole day was pretty darn nice!).  I planned on taking the kids out back, or up to the golf course to take a photo of them for Christmas.  Well.....I didn't have high expectations that's for sure.  For a lack of a better term, Drew is a STINKER!  He absolutely does not like to sit for a picture.  Let me re-phrase, he kind of hates it.  We tried coaxing him with candy and cough drops (okay I know what you are thinking...cough drops????  Well, that is all we had).    After the crying and fit throwing, I got some cute pictures until I noticed he had a bit of a runny nose.  GRRRRRRR!  Maybe I shouldn't have said anything?  I am hoping nobody will notice!  At this point, I really don't care.  This photographer is done trying!

Here are some of the "outtakes" of my photo shoot. 

DO NOT LET THIS CUTE FACE FOOL YOU!

I actually considered this one for our Christmas Card.  How about "Peace on Earth" or "Joy to The World"

Yep, there is the cough drop.  (darn cough drop!)

Yep, there is the runny nose.

Yeah, we are all still pretty darn cute!

Pumpkin Patch

Can't forget about the Pumpkin Patch.  Now that was a CRAZY day!!!!  It was super busy and pretty warm too!

The sun was shining so bright that day and there were lots of trees too....  I wish there wasn't shadows all over Afton because this is such a cute picture.  She was the first one to pick out her pumpkin and she loved it so much!

Halloween

The cast of characters this year:  Marty the Zebra, Price Is Right Showcase Showdown Contestant, Princess, Bumble Bee, and Jake from Jake and the Never Land Pirates

Zoo day!

Last week when it was about 80 degrees, I thought we would skip nap time and head to the zoo.  Drew does not like getting his picture taken these days, so a lot of my pictures are of him running away or turning his head.  I am lucky to get a few cute ones from time to time!

He loves these goats!

Working Hard!

It seems so long ago, but last week when we had gorgeous weather, my little man was busy hauling leaves around the back yard.  He looks so determined!
