Happy Birthday Truett!!!

Truett's 3rd birthday was yesterday, our sweet boy!!!  He is not a baby anymore! :)

Truett, you are such a big boy now and this past year you have grown up so much and your sweet personality has really shown!  We are so proud of you!!  You are learning to share and play nice with your sister and your friends.  You started school this year and love to see your teacher (Miss Gigi) and your school friends on Tuesdays.  We are still working on potty training, but not quite there yet :)  You love to say, "What?!  Ok." in response to everything and it is so cute!  You are so thoughtful and affectionate and fill our hearts with joy.  We are so thankful the Lord has entrusted us to raise you and we love you so very much!!  We can't wait to see what the next year brings!

(I am having camera issues *again* of course, so these are the best we could do!)

Truett woke up to presents and balloons!  He actually played with all the balloons for about 20 minutes before even noticing the presents :)  We let him open one that morning and saved the rest for later!




So happy to get a tool workbench (picked out by Daddy!)


Then we bundled up on this cold day and headed to the zoo!  We picked up Aunt Sarah on the way to join in the fun :)  It was actually nice weather to be outside and wasn't crowded at all!






Everyone loves penguins :)


How does Brylie measure up?


... and Truett?


Daddy's turn!







We lucked out and got to see most of the animals eating!





A lot of walking for this three year old!





Yeah, I think he needs a haircut :)




Thank you Daddy for always getting in the pictures! :)





He got tired and just decided he needed a quick rest! :)


Brylie told us where to go on the map :)


Flamingoooohhhs!



I love the giraffes!  We all picked an animal in the car on the way that we wanted to see.  I picked giraffes, Brylie picked cheetahs (or cheetos as she says), and Truett picked the lions!




Geoff tried to hold him out to pet but Truett was scared and tried to pull his whole body away!  So funny because Brylie would have let him hold her feet and dangle her over ;)







Another brief rest :)  We had all walked ahead and turned around to find him like this :)


"Buddy, are you a little tired?"


Our precious girl :)



Driving a jeep requires tongue concentration :)




The carousel is always a highlight!  The guy let him ride it three times and announced and wished him a happy birthday over the speaker!






The children's zoo.  Brought back so many memories of coming here when I was little!






Little birds cracking out of their shell :)



Brylie's impression of a tiny bird :)


Flying out of the nest!


Baby birds waiting on food from their momma!


Back home for presents and cake!



Roar!!


The dinosaur opened some presents ;)


Brylie had picked this gift out for him and was giving him hints about it all weekend :)  He was thrilled about every present he opened!  Wish it could always be this easy :)





Happy birthday to you!!



We tried to take a last minute picture with him, but this was the best we could do!





This is how he really feels about taking pictures!


My buddy :)


He had a great day and loved it!!  We love you Truey!! :)
