October 23, this handsome little man turned 3! Can't believe he's already 3!
He had a day filled with fun, we started out by giving him his gifts...
A remote control car and tinker toys.
Then we headed out to get lunch at a place of his choice, which ended up being Burger King. After lunch we went to a local pumpkin patch...
The slide and animals were a favorite.
It was terribly cold and windy that day, so we didn't last too long!
Then we had the big green dump truck birthday cake he requested. He was so excited when he saw it! I was less than thrilled with the way it turned out. I don't think it looks much like a dump truck, but it was not an easy request to fulfill.
GRACEN AT 3:
He has now hit the terrible 3's. At times I'm not sure what to do with him! The 2's were a breeze compared to this!
His favorite color is green.
He loves transformers, particularly Optimus Prime.
He loves to help his daddy, especially when it involves using the drill.
He wants to go to Kindergarten like Brynlee.
VERY competitive! He tells random strangers that he is bigger than their kid, can run faster, etc.
He loves to tell people that he is 3 and on his next birthday he'll be 4.
He has a great memory, and has memorized a lot of Brynlee's little books from school, and at least 10 nursery rhymes.
He is very loving, gives hugs and kisses all the time. This includes people he doesn't know too well, the 2nd counselor in the bishopric, his nursery teacher, and our realtor to name a few.
Here are a few videos of Gracen:
This first video is just before church. The week before he learned about the temple and here is what he was telling me about it...
This video is what he calls a dinosuar kiss. He really likes dinosaurs and came up with this one on his own...
This is of him saying 2 of the nursery rhymes he knows.
And this is another nursery rhyme one, but it's much longer.
We sure do love this little man!

Happy Birthday Gracen! Sounds like the perfect day. And your truck cake looks fantastic. I tried to make a runway cake, with a toy airplane on top and it was a disaster, to say the least... so I'm totally impressed by all your cake/cupcake decorating skills. Wish we could have wished him happy birthday in person! We miss you guys!
I love listening to him say the nursery rhymes he knows! I can totally relate the the terrible
3's! I am just hoping that this is a stage we get over quickly!!
Um, your cake looks amazing - I can't even imagine how you'd begin to make a cake look like that. And how fun Nate got to spend the day with Gracen on his birthday - the pics of the two of them are seriously so cute - there's something so sweet about little boys & their dads.
Happy Bday to Gracen - I seriously remember when you were pregnant with him, I can't believe its already been 3 years!
