Little Forrest turns 3!!

Forrest turned three years old on Sunday!!! He absolutely loved his new rocket pjs and insisted on wearing them right away. He's such a character!
Like many other little boys his age, he's obsessed with toys from the movie Cars. He got the hook up with plenty of new mini cars to add to his growing collection. He even lets Adelaide play with his Sally. Pretty generous huh? :)
Forrest is a big ice cream fan!! Sometimes I'll find him in the kitchen, standing on a chair scoping out the freezer looking for ice cream. So, it was only suiting to have ice cream sundaes for his birthday. I don't think he could of been happier about it!!

Big brother thinks Forrest's birthday means Christmas. Andrew was more than willing to help unwrap Forrest's presents...for a small fee...ie. world domination and toy re-distribution. (Liz, I totally know what you mean about the poor second brother...so true!)
Andrew's has made several "best friends" around the neighborhood lately in the form of bugs. The stink bug in this picture enjoyed a good two hour play date with Drew. He put him down on his roads, gave him rides on his cars and talked non-stop with him. Until he took a snack time break only to return and find Forrest had squished him. Ooops. That brought genuine tears for several days after-wards. Who would of thought it would lead to a gospel discussion about the spirit world. These boys are little sweeties.
Here's Addy on the fourth, ready to party. She's starting to hum and coo to us like crazy now. I have the hardest time getting a good smile picture though because the lag on our camera is sooo long. By the time the camera clicks, her hand is always in her mouth or she's looked away. I'll get a good one one of these days :)

Is it crazy to anyone else that we are half way though July? Maybe because I spend so much time managing these three little people that it doesn't feel like a long, lazy summer ;) Addy is starting to spend more time awake during the day which is super fun and ultra exhausting. She wants to be held, like all the time, so when she does take a nap I'm running around the house trying to get a million things done and play with the boys while I have my hands free. Having three littles 4 and under definitely has its challenges!!! Luckily, they are hilarious and super cute so it gets me through the moments of pure insanity.

I love checking your blogs out though so keep the great updates coming. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! My good intentions to stay well connected with all of you fall embarrassingly short. I appreciate your patience and your incredible generosity and goodness to me!!!! I learn so much from each of you. Your life really does touch mine for the better. THANK YOU!!!!
