Trooper Mason is 3!




Our Trooper Mason turned 3!! Here he is all decked out in his new costume ready for the big cousin party at Fat Cats. It was the third Star Wars party for us (as Christian's past 2 have been SW as well). My boys are quite the fans and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Our house is filled with daily Star Wars battles, Jedi costumes and light saber wars. Mason can tell you the name of every single character, including all the different troopers that all look the same to me! How will a little sister ever fit in around here?? She'll just have to play Pncess Leia I guess...

Birthday boy sat alone to eat pizza by his birthday cake and kept ripping the troopers off the cake and sticking them back on. There was a huge hole in it by the time we sang - however it was HIS cake so whatever made him happy.

Earlier in the day while fighting over a toy with Christian, he pulled the birthday card a few times as well, crying "but I'm da birt-day boy!!" He's still trying to use that line 2 weeks later of course.





Game time with Grandpa Jace


Happy Happy 3rd Birthday Big Boy (who always reminds us "no, I'm still little"). I secretly love that he's still such a baby because I don't want him to grow up. I love his little voice and all the hilarious things he says and does daily. If we can just work on the bully factor and beating up his poor big brother.

At bedtime he had to sleep with ALL his new spaceships and Star Wars guys of course. He's quite the HOARDER and the Birthday Boy always gets what he wants! Just don't know what his excuse is every other day of the year as he ALWAYS seems to get his way.

Fab FOURTH Fireworks

Oh how I love the fourth of July and lucky for us Utahns, we seem to get a full month full of fireworks, parades and such. It was an action-packed day filled starting with a daddy/son backyard campout, neighborhood breakfast, Evergreen children's parade (our FAVE), swimming with cousins, family BBQs, Grandma Jody's amazing never-ending firework show followed by Sugarhouse fireworks with Nana & Jace. WHEW, exhausting but what a FABULOUS 4th we had!!

Check out these DARLING patriotic cuties (cousins Jaxson & Kambri)





Down the slide and swimming in the deep on his own, SO big!

Collecting our candy stash with Morgan cousins at the parade...


Nice matching headlamps on my campin' boys.

And the 3 prego moms of those cute kiddos - my sister in laws (Jace's fam) all due 1 month a part with GIRLS!! (sorry ladies, hope you don't hate me for posting our belly pic :)
