Brady's 3rd birthday party!

What a fun party we had for our big 3 year old! We had some family and a couple friends over to celebrate him. He had been talking about his birthday party and his Paw Patrol cake for weeks before, so to say he was excited would be a huge understatement!

We started the day by putting together his big gift - a green tractor. Blake had gone golfing that morning (as he's known to do...) but luckily Poppy was there to save the day and get the tractor put together!

While Brady took a nap I worked on his Paw Patrol cake. I baked the cakes the night before so all I had to do that day was the fun part - decorate! He wanted sprinkle cake and strawberry cake, so I layered them.

The finished product:

We had a happy birthday boy when he woke up to see his cake! He had been talking about this for weeks, and talked about it for weeks afterward. He wants the same cake next year, he says. :)

Pointing out all the characters...

Playing with his "little buddy named Mox."

When everyone got there we opened gifts and just hung out and watched the kids play!

His lawn mower from E&P... he's been super into mowing lawns lately. He saw an engagement picture of Uncle Levi and Ashlee and they were sitting in a field and he said "Oh, I gotta go mow that grass."

After he played with his gifts for awhile we gave him his big gift - a green tractor! It quickly became a big hit.

Time for birthday cake! We all gathered around and sang happy birthday and let Brady cut his cake. It turned into a giant mess!

Check out that bite right from the side of the cake.. Brady thinks this is how you eat birthday cake. I think it all started with his one-year smash cake.

Even Walker had some cake :)

And a couple other pictures from the weekend:

Cuddling with my baby!

And canning jalapenos with Mom. It was my first time to do this... they turned out great but super spicy!!
