Happy Birthday Foxy!!!

Do you remember this baby? I can't believe how much Fox has grown these three years. Look how precious he is here. He was always so snuggly and sweet. Part of me really misses this little baby Foxy. The other part of me has really loved watching him grow up into the little boy he is now. I love that he loves snuggling still. He loves getting hugs. He loves pb&j, yogurt, bananas, peas, and anything sweet- especially chocolate. He loves playing with and talking about things that go. The other day, when he was pretending to be a little baby, I said that we would have to put away his big boy toys and get him some baby toys. Fox asked, "Mom, do baby toys have wheels?" That decided that. We love watching how serious he is when he "drives" his buses and cars or "flies" his planes and space shuttles. His engine noises are pretty cute. Fox loves building things, stacking things, and- of course-knocking things down. He loves sand pits, jumping on the bed, meandering everywhere he goes, and he loves loves loves teasing his sister. He loves Eden more than any of us I think. He tries to do everything she does and say everything she says. If Eden asks us a question, Fox has to come and ask us the same question. And at the end of the day, Fox loves to have you sing to him while he snuggles in bed. Happy Birthday Fox! We love you!

His birthday this year had a space shuttle theme, as you can see below. We indulged and spent way to much to have this space shuttle party gear shipped here. I think he was pretty happy about it. We started off with his favorite breakfast- eggs! And the festivities have already begun. He got to open Eden's present right when he woke up. It's the helicopter you see on the table. It looks exactly like the ones we see flying here. It's great! It went everywhere with him.

Then we headed to the park. This park is great. It has a little petting zoo, a huge sand pit with a water pump, and lots of fun equipment. This is a zip line for kids- a zip line people! They had a blast on it.

Can you see our castle with the mote?

The presents...

I'm so sad that I didn't get a picture of the cake! I took a little video but for some reason it won't let me load it here. It was just your basic chocolate cake but with a huge blackbird jet stuck on the top. Fox thought it was the coolest thing ever. Overall, I think he felt really special.
