Our "Baby" is THREE!!!!

On August 29, 2014 Cammy celebrated her 3rd birthday.  It's crazy to think that we now have a 3 year old!  Where in the world did the time go?!  Since Cammy's birthday fell on a Friday and we planned to go to Disneyland a few days later, we decided to do a small birthday party with all of her friends on her actual birthday.

Of course after many consistent weekends of nice sunny warm weather it ended up being cold, cloudy and a little rainy here and there on her party day.  This didn't stop the kids from having a great time at Willis Tucker Park and Splash Pad.  I love that kids aren't phased one bit by a little rain or cold weather!

The theme of Cammy's party was Minnie Mouse for a pre-Disneyland send-off.  The kids played "Pin the Minnie/Mickey Ears on Cammy," enjoyed some BBQ hot dogs, snack food and cupcakes and even the brave kids played in the splash pad...including a super brave birthday girl!!!

Singing "Happy Birthday" as the rain started to come down

Break in the rain meant ALL the kiddos went on the merry-go-round

Happy 3rd birthday Cammy!!!

After the party we let Cammy open her presents, skip a nap, and then have a special Red Robin dinner with just the 4 of us to end the day.

We sure have an amazing 3 year old on our hands!  

She talks a mile a minute
Asks a million questions
Loves to sing and dance (but usually only if you don't make a big deal about it) 
Loves to dress-up
Loves to help do just about anything
Is the BEST and most LOVING big sister ever
Can count to about 15
Can recognize the first letter of her name (and a few others)
She is becoming an amazing colorer
Almost fully potty trained (just not at night)
LOVES to wear dresses
Refuses to wear jeans or denim jackets because "they are for boys"
And loves to play with dollhouses


Happy Birthday to our FIRST born!  
The one who taught us what parenting is all about!!
