The big 3!!

Sigh... I have been reprimanded by a few people that it's been awhile since I posted. I know this, and I really hadn't realized it had been over a month. I do have intentions all the time to post but then time just seems to slip past me, one of these days maybe I will have a catch up post. Speaking of time slipping by, my little two year has now made the plunge to join all the crazy three year-olds out there. Seriously, how can he be that big?! But he is, and it really is so fun to see him grow up into a little man. That is his new phrase about everything, "I growed up now..." Sadly he is not grown up enough to use the potty, I guess in due time right? In his words, "I just want you to change me mommy" hmmm, any tips?

So our Landon is three and he couldn't be more fun, he still adores horses and animals, but has added, dinosaurs, transformers (of course), cars and trains to the mix. He decided three months ago that a train party is what he wanted. So, we had not one, but two train parties!
He started out his birthday on Friday with his birthday muffin.

Simple pleasures :)

We went out to eat as a family that night, and he got his very own ice cream sundae. Grinning from ear to ear!
Then on Saturday we had party #1. Grandma Stark, Aunt Keri, and cousins Ethan and Harrison came down from Idaho. The boys were so excited! And it made it even better that they were staying over night!

The invite:

We went to lunch and then headed over to Ogden Union Station to see the Train Museum.

Checking out the huge model train track with dad.

Then back to the house for naps, dinner,

Presents!

and Cupcakes!

Party #2. Grandpa and Grandma Hansen, Aunt Kristina, cousins Austin and Savanna, and Great Grandma Gunnell and Wayne came down on Sunday to wish Landon a happy birthday.
