Gavin's 3rd birthday

Hey! Sorry for the long wait. Been really busy lately! But here's the pics from Gavin's 3rd birthday. He sure is growing up!

look how big he is! he's getting so tall. although in this picture, I'm pretty sure he is waring a pair of Hayden's pants. {love the high waters} Sadly, the waist in Hayden's 12 mo jeans totally fit Gavin.

 For Gavin's birthday, he requested "blue cupcakes".

Blowing out birthday candles only fed his obsession with fire.

 The cupcakes are blue, the frosting is blue, and the candles are blue. As you can guess, his fave color is Blue. If he had his way, everything in  his world would be blue. Especially fans. He keeps asking for a blue fan. {he is wearing his fave shirt. he'd wear it every day if i let him. i think 4 times a week is more than plenty!}

 He got a tower of 3 cupcakes for his third birthday.

I have to throw this in for kicks. Gavin is so helpful. Especially when it comes to Hayden, poop, and diapers. In this pic, I caught him stripping off Hayden's diaper to see if it is poopy. {sigh} Fortunately, Hayden was not poopy. this time.

Gavin loves:

• the color blue
• helicopters and airplanes. good thing we have like 5 of each fly over each day, thanks to living near a base.
• fans. any type, size...anything that resembles a fan...
• riding his bike to the park
• feeding the ducks
• chocolate and any type of candy he can get his fingers on
• making messes in mommy's craft room
• cutting ANYTHING in sight with scissors. including mommy's scarf, hair, and fabric
• playing "Sheet Monster" with his daddy
• doing anything with his daddy. he's davis's side kick. guess he finally learned that mommy is boring.
• loves to eat noodles, spaghetti O's {he ate a bowl of them for breakfast on his birthday}, cookies, cupcakes, carrots and ranch, hot dogs, hamburgers, stuffing, frosting
• Veggie Tales, Thomas the Train
• his blue and white striped short sleeve shirt
• bugs and spiders. and loves to squish them for mommy.
• running around naked. or half naked. or with just a hooded towel on his head.
• peeing outside.
• sleeping with about 10 stuffed animals and 4 blankets.
• reading the If you give a Mouse a Cookie books.
• Santa.

Gavin got to see Santa for the first time at our ward christmas party on Dec. 1 and he told Santa he wanted a present for christmas. He did really good about sitting on his lap and talking to him. I have pics on my phone I need to upload.

Funny Gavin quote: {talking to Davis while I was gone} "We need to buy mommy a weewee." oh dear.
