Kevin's Happy Birthday

Kevin is three years old today! To celebrate, Mommy took Kevin to the pool, where we met up with his buddy Ryder and Ryder's Mommy.


Kevin in his swim suit with wild hair. Don't tell Daddy!

After playing in the water, we went to the cafe for lunch.



Then it was time to pick up baby Alan and go home for a nap! That was the theory anyway. For the third year in a row, Kevin refused to nap on his birthday. Oh well! After Alan's nap, we went to join some more friends for the MOMS Club family night. What a busy birthday! Happy Birthday sweet pea!

The Thumper and Mr. Cheeks

We've changed the title of the blog again, thanks to Daddy's latest nicknames for the boys.


Kevin is "The Thumper". It's amazing how such a little man can sound like a herd of elephants! Whether it's going up and down stairs, climbing all over the couch, or doing tumbles, as seen here in the picture from the soft mat at one of his favourite indoor playgrounds, Kevin sure does a lot of thumping!


Alan is Mr. Cheeks. Look at this picture! Do we need any further explanation?


Here they are again, the Thumper and Mr. Cheeks!

Kevin is 3 years old!

We can't believe it but Kevin is 3 years old! We had his birthday party on Wednesday. The theme was "It's a Party Under the Sea, Because Kevin's Turning Three!" because Kevin LOVES fish!

We made a fish-shaped cake (Mommy baked and frosted and Daddy decorated) surrounded by blue cupcakes.



Here is Daddy adding some finishing touches to the cake.


The "fish" birthday cake and "ocean" cupcakes arranged for the party. Note the "3" candle on the lead cupcake. Added July 5 - Kevin's cake is now featured on coolest-birthday-cakes.com!


Daddy gives Kevin upside-downs!


Alan naps while Mommy chats with Auntie Chelle and Auntie Jenn.


Everyone is singing Happy Birthday!


Kevin had a lot of fun at his party!


So did little brother Alan.

Lego!

I like solid food!

Alan is enjoying solid food so much he grabbed the spoon right out of Mommy's hand. Let me reload that spoon for you little buddy!

Best Buddies

Kevin's best buddy is home from Disney. Yay!

Alan Eats!

Today, Alan had his first encounter with solid food. Rice cereal, yum! He's been eying the contents of the dinner table for a while, so it wasn't a surprise when he eagerly took his first spoonful. Here we have his expression after that first bite.





He was a pretty enthusiastic eater. If Mommy wasn't offering the next spoonful fast enough, Alan was sucking on Daddy's arm. Poor Daddy!

Hanging out with the boys

Ahhhh, the boys kick back with Daddy. It's a lazy Saturday evening and we're hanging out after a spending the afternoon at the park.

Fire Truck

Today, Kevin's playgroup visited a fire station. Here he is taking a break from exploring on a classic old truck.

Lather Rinse Repeat

Kevin loves to slide! again, and again, and again....

Here's one iteration. Repeat this video about a dozen times and you'll get the idea!
