Outdoor Fun

Patrick and Finnegan received 2 fabulous presents for their birthday.

Both gifts allow them to have lots of fun outside....

Aunt Snooze gave the boys an awesome trampoline - the boys love it!!

Finnegan jumps and jumps and jumps....

and Patrick runs around in circles

(don't know why, but he has a blast!)

And, Nana and Pop Pop gave the boys scooters, complete with protective gear,

for their 3rd Birthday.

Patrick and Finnegan check out their new rides...

Yesterday, we went for our first scooter adventure.

We raced to the park in our neighborhood....

circled the park a couple of times...

rode on the bumpy "bridge"...

and scooted home!

Thank you Nana, Pop Pop and Aunt Snooze -

these wonderful gifts will give us hours of outdoor fun!

3rd Birthday Party

This weekend, our friends and family gathered to celebrate

Patrick and Finnegan's 3rd Birthday.

The boys got ready to celebrate, making sure their friends had birthday hats

and that the Gymboree Gear was ready for playtime.

Our friends arrived and it was time to play!

Sully had his date for the event, Liliana!

Patrick and Finnegan did all their favorite Gymboree activites -

They climbed the giant tube...

ran on the bumpy mats...

shook the maracas with Miss Whitney and their friends...

had bubble time....

and parachute time...

Patrick checked himself out in the mirror...

and we all danced and danced and danced!

When it was time for cupcakes, Finnegan put all my candle worries to rest. Before all his friends were even seated, he helped himself to an orange cupcake, took a lick of the icing and then put it back on the plate. It made me realize that they just didn't care about a candle, so neither did I!

The kids all enjoyed their treats...

and Gill and I loved seeing our big boys so happy.

Before we knew it, the party was over and it was time to say goodbye to all our friends.

It was such a wonderful afternoon and the perfect way to celebrate

Finnegan and Patrick's 3rd Birthday!
