3rd Birthday Party!

It was a great weekend for Ben and Conner's 3rd Birthday Party!!! Our whole family came over to help us celebrate and the boys had an awesome time! Thanks so much to our families who made the trip and brought our almost-3-year-olds some really great presents!!! I have so many pictures so here are just a few...

I made the guys Hedlund Racing Team shirts... Kinda cute...! (not a great picture... the boys did not want to have to stop running around just so that Mom could get a picture of their shirts!)




We all had soooo much fun playing outside all day! Gramps helps Ben and Conner over the rough terrain of our backyard...


Ben's first tattoo!!! He was thrilled! (Curious George) Conner refused to let me put one on him...!



So many presents..




Ben and Conner actually sat still in their new Toy Story chairs so we could snap a few pictures!



We had to have a Curious George cake!


A late night and an early morning but we all had so much fun! Today we enjoyed playing with all the new toys!!! It was like Christmas in July around here...
Ben shows off his Curious George hat...

Of course it was Daddy's job to put all the new toys together!


I finally convinced Ben to try on the monkey mask... He thought it was pretty funny!


Conner tries out his new harmonica!


Nana and Gramps got the boys a new drum set! Many parents don't like all the noisy toys, but that is not the case at our house. I figure if they're busy playing nicely, I don't care how loud they are, plus it's always scarier when they get quiet... I know that they're up to something! We enjoy the kids' "music!"
Thank you again to everyone for making the boys' 3rd birthday extra special!!! The official birthday is the 14th so we definitely have more celebrating to do this week!
