3 is here, 2 is gone!

Time goes so quickly. My baby is already 3. I told him I don't want him to grow up. He said he doesn't want to grow up either; he will just turn three and stop. He is such a sweet son and is a total momma's boy. No complaints here. He is a peace maker and very thoughtful of others. He loves to hang out with his big brother and sometimes listens to his big sister. All three of them are very close. He is really into super heroes now and Flash is his favorite. He thinks he can run as fast as Flash. He loves going to Nursery every week and talks about being a Sunbeam so he can go to Primary with Madi and Porter.
We still act out our scripture study. The kids really get into it. He always volunteers for the biggest part. He was Abinadi, King Noah, and Alma--as he kept stealing the show. When I told him he was going to be burned at the stake, he said, "I don't wanna die, Mom!" So, he wanted to change the story.
He was very lucky to have a birthday party on Friday before his birthday. His Grandma Smith organized a party. In addition to my three, there was their cousin Bella and their friend, Jarius. The kids made cupcakes with grandma and she took them all to the dollar store buy him presents. Friday night we took the family to St. George and stayed at Travis'.
My kids think "Uncle Travis'" house is like Disneyland. They love it there. I am not sure if it is the big house, the cousins, or the pool. But, they always ask to go to his house. On Saturday, we had an informal day long party. The kids all went swimming and the adults looked on--it was too freakin cold to jump in. But, we couldn't convince the kids of that. Travis and Haley (who are partially insane) jumped in later. Haley with her clothes on...let's just say our family doesn't need any alcohol to get crazy. (For the record, there was no alcohol.) We ate pizza for lunch and then opened presents.
Lane went crazy over the superhero cape his Aunt Haley made for him. He got way too many gifts from all of his cousins. Later, they set up the slip n' slide he got on the side yard. The kids spent the rest of the afternoon sliding across the lawn, and being sprayed by cold water.
We decided to vote on our favorite 80s movie and have an adult slumber party. Footloose won--however, we couldn't get it on Netflix. Brant, who was pulling hard to watch Bloodsport, ended up getting a few new movies at Redbox. The kids had no problem falling asleep after a long hard day of playing with cousins. It was great. Lane kept saying, "I am 3. Three is here! 2 is gone."
