My THREE Year old!




My son is officially three years old, and I really can't believe it.  

As hard a time as I'm having accepting the fact that he really is growing up, I think it would be even harder if I weren't pregnant right now, and able to channel all my "baby thoughts" somewhere!  Don't get me wrong, its also really exciting that Jace is three- he can do so many things all by himself, and he is so full of life and spunk that you just can't help but smile when you're around him! Oh, and the best thing... he wears big boy undies!! No more diapers!!!  I LOVE that he is growing up, but it still hurts my heart a little. :(

Jace's real birthday was friday, and Mamma and Daddy Mike picked him up for lunch and bowling!  A great way to start your day!  We had a big birthday celebration at my Nanny Nell and Paw Paw's house in good 'ole Huntsville on saturday.  It was a blast having all of our family there- Mamma, Daddy Mike, Uncle Josh, Aunt Dawn, Cameron and Cade even made it down and completed the party.  This was every kids dream, let me tell you.... there was a trampoline, a swimming pool, 2 go-carts, a 4-wheeler, a volleyball net, and games galore!  Seriously, this was one of my favorite places to go when I was a kiddo- and it still is!  These are a few pics from my Jace's special day...

Jace was absolutely CRAZY on the diving board... notice, NO FLOATIES!  
And NO FEAR!  NOT a good combo!

Jace and cousin Cameron just chillin' on the raft... :)

These are just a few of the fun people that made this party! 

A little fun on the go-cart with daddy...

And his attempted race track birthday cake by mommy...this might be the last cake I ever make.  Seriously.  Its worth the $40 not to stress! :)

Thanks to everyone that made this day so perfect!! All the Newton's, thank you for driving out of town to celebrate with us!!!  We have the best family in the world, and I thank the Lord for all of you!!! A special thanks goes out to my Nanny Nell and Paw Paw too, who worked and slaved for days cooking the food and making sure all the pool toys were ready, the yard was mowed, the go-carts were working, ect.... I love you guys!! :)

I recognize that birthday banner from somewhere else too...you are so crafty with your cakes and banners! I just called Target and said make a cake for me please. I guess I could learn a thing or two from Mrs. Newton.
