Ridley's 3rd Birthday

 Ridley celebrated her 3rd birthday on a beautiful afternoon at Bicentennial Park.  We lucked out and had gorgeous weather, so we just had to move the party.  She had lots of family and friends join the celebration.  

Ridley is a fun, silly, and active chicka.  She keeps her brothers in line and doesn't take any crap.  We love her no-nonsense way of dealing with them.  She is also very girly and loves dolls and make up.  She enjoys dancing, coloring, and being outdoors. 

Ridley could swing for hours.  

Ridley and her friend from school, Brooklyn, loved it!

Ridley Shopkin turns 3

Ridley woke up to a little Shopkin party!  She loved it, and I can't wait to see how excited she will be on Saturday.

The Shopkins donuts were amazing!  WOW!

I tucked my three year old in tonight, with a sock hat on, and I couldn't get enough snuggles.  She is silly, sweet, and full of spunk.  I love her to pieces. 

Shocked

A blood pressure check with three young children in tow - this could have gone really bad.  I was shocked to see the three of them reading in the waiting room and behaving.  It was a great visit, and I was so proud.

Northpark

I really pushed my good luck today, and I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful afternoon.  I needed to pick up my bracelet at Tiffany's at Northpark, but I had all three kiddos.  I knew I didn't want to go after Thanksgiving, but I didn't want to wait until after Christmas when the mall calms down.  I decided we would go for it.  

The plan was to run straight into Tiffany's and straight out to the truck.  That part went well, so we started looking around.  Fountains, art, turtles, ducks, cactus plants, and lots of Christmas decorations gave us all something to look at.  

We decided to stay and walk around the mall.  We did a bit of shopping and playing, and it was one of the best days with all three of my precious little ones.  No fighting, whining, working.  Just laughs and fun for us all.

Reed turns 3

Our sweet baby boy is 3!  Reed is always on the move and is always into something.  He keeps us on our toes and laughing hysterically.  Reed's birthday breakfast request was cinnamon rolls with candles.  Funny, because he is not a sweet eater.

John Chris and I were really excited for the boys to see their birthday gift.  When John Chris came home from work, we gave the boys a box to open.  They unwrapped their gifts and were thrilled about the "motorcycle" helmets.  Then they found the key.  
We all headed outside to take the new four wheeler for a ride. Reed didn't want anything to do with it.  He refused to ride or even sit on it.  Ryland immediately jumped right on and took it for a ride.
 Not exactly the reaction we were expecting from either boy.
