turning three!

when the twins were a couple months old i seriously doubted i'd live to see the day they turn three, but speaking of time as a relative thing, it seemed to come quicker than i ever thought it would!  oh man, kade and crew, they're such a whirlwind of chaos and entertainment.  i really like the preschool age because they say and do such funny things.  we kicked of their memorial birthday with a swim at the pools and had fun celebrating with rob, jana and jacob!  after swimming we came back for the party:

we had a dinosaur themed party and there was food for all types: chicken nuggets for carnivores, fruit for herbivores, and chinese chicken salad for omnivores.  however the twins were more interested in this:

i really don't know how those cupcakes survived for as long as they did!  

the boys played some rounds of pin the tooth on the t-rex, and you can see from the picture that very few teeth made it into his mouth!

after the eating, it was time for the anatomically incorrect stegosaurus/triceratops piñata.  the boys had fun giving it a couple dents but justin was the one to break it open:

filling up on the loot: candy, dino stamps and dino tattoos

afterwards we had cupcakes and sang happy birthday, these guys were excited to FINALLY dig into those cupcakes!

we also made a giant t-rex to put on the wall, it was the very first thing crew and made noticed when they came down that morning.  here they are with their new larger t-rex's and giving their best dinosaur roar!

this big t-rex lasted two weeks on our wall, but of course the second the rs president stopped by for a minute they proceeded to tear it down and use it to roar at people around the house, awesome.

they both got a a buzz lightyear, and as soon as those were finally released from their child and adult proof boxes these two were in heaven!

we loved celebrating kade and crew!
