Mark is 3!

Here is my baby on the day he was born. It is crazy how fast they grow!
Here we are on his actual birthday! From 6lbs 8oz and 21 inches long to 35 pounds and 40 inches tall!

We took him to dinner at Logan's steakhouse because we were trying to think of a place where they would sing to him. Well he was pretty embarressed so he had to climb in Daddy's lap while they sang. But really he loved it! You couldn't get the smile off of his face after that!
Here they are. They didn't really sing but they gave him a big "Yee-haw!"



AND they gave him ice cream! He was just a tat excited!





Aunt Brenda came too and she got Mark the coolest Woody doll for his birthday. You can pull the string inhis back and he says all kinds of things. And yes, we wrote "MARK" on the bottom of Woody's boots!


Omah and Opah sent Mark a gift too. Here is part of it!



Ever since Mark's good buddy Caden had his 3rd birthday party at Bounce U in september Mark has been asking to have his party there too. So here we are waiting for his friends to show up.



My camera didn't take very good pictures inside the bounce rooms for some reason. Here is Mark at the bottom of the big slide. (It is a favorite for all the kids!)



And here he is when his buddy Grant showed up. Just a tad excited!



So in one of the bounce rooms there is this batting practice thing. The kids love the floating ball. Well I'm putting this pic in to show off Mark's form. Just look at him stepping into his swing with his right foot! (Yes - he's a lefty when it comes to sports!) Well I just brag on that because for my family or those of you that came to my rehearsal dinner probably remember a picture of me about to hit a ball when I was 5 playing t-ball. Lets just say Mark's form is already light-years ahead of mine!





Blowing out the candles on his Toy Story cake. Thats really the only pic I got of the cake!



Sitting on the throne about to open presents!


He had some buddies that cheered him on while opening presents! "Oh! A truck! I have a truck! Look at your truck Mark! I brought you that truck Mark!" etc. etc. etc. It was pretty cute!

Yeah! Love the pics and LOVE his bday hair style! Jealous that we weren't there to help celebrate. Best pic might be the ice cream on his actual bday :)

What a man, what a man, what a man... Mark gets cuter by the day. He is one lucky, blessed little guy-- and so are you. The grin in him speaks volumes. Tom.
