Blowing out the candles

Here is a quick video of the birthday fun... If you look closely you can see momma (steph) in the background just-a-crying. I thought I did great by only crying twice. Once during Happy Birthday and the other when he opened a "Big Brother" shirt from Aunt Cathy....
Enjoy!

Jaiden's 3rd Birthday

This past weekend (the 29th), we celebrated Jaiden's 3rd birthday. It was a small but awesome party. I decided that we would keep thing low key (as much as you can with 4 kids in the house). For the entertainment portion of the afternoon, we decided to let the kids decorate their own cupcakes. I thought it could be a mess but they all did GREAT! We set up a table in the kitchen (just in case) and stocked it with lots of decorating supplies

Before...

During (with lots of smiles)...

and the prize. Eating their spoils!

Jaiden got lots of great presents. The hit of the day was this Black and Decker tool set. All of the kids got in the action and since then, Jaiden has been "fixing" everything.

His favorite tool: the drill!

Even little Sammy got in on the action.

He got a new soccer net from aunt Essie (Alyssia) so he got to use his tools to help put it together.

Afterwards, he got LOTS of hugs and kisses from everyone, especially Aunt Rosie!

Thanks to everyone for making Jaiden's 3rd party the best one yet...

Love and hugs,

Steph, Anna, Jaiden (and ???)
