Today was Blake's 3rd birthday. He had a fun day dispite beginning it by popping a 2 foot size balloon in his face. The back hoe cake was a smashing success. Blake had a good time "helping" to make it. He had a hard time waiting for family to come over and eat it with him, with it just sitting there on the counter, waiting to be eaten. Blake is an eater. I was happy he chose hot dogs and chips for his birthday dinner. No set-up and no clean-up.
Of all the exciting presents Blake got for his birthday, this was the only one he reacted to, the bike helmet. It is a sign of being big, I guess. Dathan has one and he just thought he was so cool to have one now, as well. After all the initial fun of the presents, Derek found Blake in the kitchen with his helmet on, singing, happy birthday to Blake, etc. Blake enjoyed all the cards and phone calls. I got a special kick out of Spencer and Dallin. They sang and halfway through Spencer breaks it off saying Dallin wasn't singing right and started again. I was crackin' up! Thanks everyone!
