A Day in the Life of Us: Happy 3rd Birthday Audrey!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 3 years old. For some reason this birthday has hit me hard. Three seems so much more grown up than 2 and I definitely don't have a baby anymore. I asked Audrey if she could stay 2 forever for me. She said "mommy, after my birthday party, I will go back to being 2 for you." She was definitely excited for her party. She opened gifts for her birthday really spread out this year. She got a trampoline for the back yard and we put that up a couple of weeks prior. That was her main gift. We then went to St George with Grandpa and had a little party there and opened some more of her presents.

The day they were surprised with the trampoline

Birthday party in St George for Audrey and Aunt Jen

Grandpa ordered a really yummy cake from a local bakery

Audrey's presents traveled with us, wrapping paper did not.

Audrey's birthday was on a Friday this year. We weren't able to take it off of work but we got out early and went out downtown for her birthday celebration.

First we went to the Planetarium....Audrey and Colin "on the moon"

We went out for sushi at Happy Sumo...using chopsticks

Playing in the water fountains at the Gateway

Time for presents

Colin really wanted this pirate ship. He was somehow able to convince Audrey that she really wanted it. This boat is all she talked about for weeks. She(and Colin) was so excited to play with it.
