Deuce turns 3

so i know everyone says it and i prob say it every year but man time flies....i can't believe our little guy isn't so little anymore....he turned 3 a couple of weeks ago and i think i'm still in shock. since he's not really one for a crowd we decided this year that we would just keep it simple. the day went as usual and once dave got home from work and deuce woke up from his nap we started the celebration. i made a train cake and his favorite meal...spaghetti and then we opened gifts and cut the cake...pretty simple!

i took this pic a couple days before his bday...still trying to teach him how to smile for the camera

here was the starting product for the train

deuce checking out the train when he woke up from his nap (he immediately knew it wasn't thomas though) but still interested

not the best but the best i could do...lol

once i put it on the table he decided to get a closer look

he got an "enimly" train from the ellis' and toby from us...he was all ready to play

he got a "moo cow" (ut) hoodie from the chances'

then it was off to play with the trains on the tracks

he made it back to the presents to play with his handy manny truck from grandmar

we also got him a lightning mcqueen chair/fold out bed and the thomas tent in the background is from our friends katie and callie

once we unfolded it and showed him he could lay in it that's all he wanted to do....he says "sweep" and then tells us which movie he wants to watch

daddy n deuce testing out the bed with a little movie watching

then it was on to the cake

he's still not a fan of getting his hands dirty so i had to help him out with a little taste test
as far as everything else goes we are truckn right along...i don't think mila n dax plan on making an early appearance so i'm betting it will be sometime early jan. i finally finished mila's room and the boys room is basically done just missing a few wall decor that will come in time i suppose.

luv mel, dave, deuce, mila n dax
