Birthday Boy!

Happy 3rd Birthday Sutton! Gosh, it came so quickly! I truly remember in detail the day before you were born....my stomach was nervous just waiting for you to arrive. And here we are, in the blink of an eye, 3 years have passed! You are so much fun and a joy to be around. On your birthday, we woke you up and let you open your presents from us before daddy left for work. We got you a new OSU jacket since you outgrew your last one, and you wore it all the time. Here is Max sporting his new OSU jersey. We got one for both of the boys so when Sutton opened his present, I went and got Max his to try on. It fits perfect and shows just how much this little man has grown! Max is starting Kindergarten this year....it looks like we have a year of change ahead of us :)

I love this picture for a few reasons. 1) Sutton has mis-matched pajamas on. We can't get him to wear matching pajamas very often. Look closely and you can see his blue striped shirt and orange motorcycle pajama bottoms (with an OSU jersey on top!) 2) The toy he is opening is a tool box...he LOVES tools and can work a wrench, screwdriver or hammer really well!

Here we are at the donut shop where Sutton wanted to go for his birthday. This place has the coolest donuts. They have donuts shaped in letters, swords, fish, basketballs, footballs, dogs...you wouldn't believe it and they are decorated as well! (Luke is in his carseat on the floor....poor baby!)


If it wouldn't have been his birthday, I would have been annoyed....but he was so funny staring at the case of donuts...trying so hard to decide which one to have. And with that cute look on his face, I suddenly found more patience :) Happy Birthday my little friend!

I too cannot believe our guys are turning 3! That last picture of Sutton is what I always see when I think of him. So glad we got to celebrate together! All my love and kisses!

Happy Birthday a day late:) I can't believe he is three, that means Carter will be 3 soon...agggghhh! They grow up too fast!

Your boys are gorgeous as always! Miss you guys, hope all is well!

Happy Birthday Sutton! What is it with our boys and tools... Ty loves them too! :) We love that same donut shop, too bad it is such a drive from our hood! It looks like y'all had a great day celebrating your special boy!

I hope the first day of kindergarten goes well. I was a total wreck last year on Ella's first day. I would have never guessed I would be so emotional since she had been in "school" since she was a baby... but oh my! I was one hot mess! Ella loved school and couldn't understand why I was such a mess! :)

Oh, btw, Cash has outgrown those cute peace and guitar outfits... want em'? I am pretty sure Lukey isn't quite as "meaty" as Cash!!

The pictures are just PRICELESS. I can't believe where the time goes either. I do know it goes by way too fast! Soak in the moments when you can, because you will NEVER get them back! Looks like Sutton had a WONDERFUL birthday.

Oh my goodness so much to catch up on. So sad we missed the birthday! Man Sutton and Garrett are two peas in a pod w/ the tractors, pjs and you know the list goes on...

That picture of max in the OSU jersey-what in the world he looks like he is 15!

I can't believe how much Luke has changed in the pics from your vacation at Great Wolf. He looks more like the other boys than ever. So happy for your family!
