Happy 3rd Birthday, Adam!

Did you know that purple is Adam's favorite color? I thought I would use it in his honor....This is Adam's portrait on the morning of his 3rd birthday. Pretty adorable! Below is a picture of Charlie, that I love. This is how he often looks when Adam has said, or done, something Charlie thinks is funny. He doesn't ever laugh out loud, he just scrunches up his nose and gives a little "heh heh."
Adam requested pancakes for breakfast. They both love to help, but Adam loves to eat the pancake batter. Charlie and I think he's nuts!

Anyone who knows me well knows I enjoy making the boys birthday cakes. About a week before Adam's birthday, I asked the boys what kind of cakes they wanted. When they said batman and cookie monster, I didn't know if I could do it. I did both cakes on the same day because I knew we would be camping on Charlie's birthday. I think they turned out pretty good. Adam had white cake inside, and Charlie's was chocolate. They were happy!
As you can see, although they both enjoyed the cookies, it was Charlie who was really the cookie monster!


We surprised the boys with this little trampoline. It fits two to three little kids at a time, or one bigger kid. Pretty injury proof, and a lot of fun!
If you can look past how dirty their bath water is, these pictures are SO sweet. What a perfect end to Adam's birthday! I'm so thankful that when Adam was born, Charlie got a best friend for life. There's no greater blessing, I'm sure of this.
My life is full.
