Happy 3rd Birthday, Austin!

Sunday was Austin's 3rd birthday!  Scott and I stopped that morning and said we couldn't believe Austin is already three!  Where did the time go?!  It's gone by so fast and it's been a blast being his parent's.  He's constantly making us laugh and a day doesn't go by that we don't look at him and think, "where does he come up with this stuff?"  We are so proud of him!

Austin:

• knows his ABC's
• Can count to 20 by himself
• knows at least 9 colors
• great at throwing baseballs/footballs
• can draw a circle
• is pretty much understood 95% of the time
• other 5% is when he's being silly or tired
• Is POTTY-TRAINED!  WHOOOT
• minus at night. . . then he's dry 5 mornings out of the week.  Getting there!
• is full of funny sayings and is so animated

• loves anything related to music and knows pretty much all the songs played on the radio
• loves to perform and can give you a recap of the Super Bowl Half-time show! LOL

• can brush his teeth with minimal help
• is very good with directions and locations of things/people
• ie: heading North of 360 and he knows we are going to pass the airport

• Drinks out of a cup without any lid without problems
• knows how to navigate and use my iphone better than his parents HAHA!

• PLUS, many, many more amazing things!

After church, we headed over to one of his favorite resturants, Ton's Mongolian Grill, and had noodles and the birthday cake with lots of family and friends!  We were so grateful and blessed to have so many people in our lives who spoil our son so much!!

The birthday cake that Austin picked out all on his own

 This year - heck, the past 3 years! - have been a blast.  We can't wait to see what is in store for us in this coming year as Austin grows from a "toddler" to a "preschooler"!
