June Seventeen

Being so pregnant and miserable during the month of June, I decided it would be wise to have Reese and Tuckers 3rd birthday party a little early this year.  Three weeks early to be exact.  I am SO glad I did!  They didn't mind... although I think we thoroughly confused them because they learned that their birthday was on June SevenTEEN (as they would say) and that's not when we had their party.  This way they got to celebrate twice though... they weren't complaining.

We hosted our 3rd Annual Splish Splash Birthday Bash.  If I were more creative (and not so pregnant) I may have done something different this year.  But let's face it... swim parties are easy and fun.

All the cousins came to swim, play, eat and celebrate with us.

According to Tucker, it's not a party without Watermelon!  That boy can't get enough!

Grandpa bought Tucker a Louisville Slugger with his name engraved on it.  He immediately wanted to go hit some balls.  He didn't quite understand the whole "keepsake" idea. 

 How are they 3 years old already?  We are definitely in the terrible three's!  They are testing the limits, throwing fits, fighting with each other... the whole works.  It's a good thing they are so stinkin' cute... otherwise we might be ready to send them back! 

She's not sassy or anything.  She starts every day asking for a pretty dress and a pretty bow.  Rylan will have a bunch of brand new shorts and shirts to wear when she's 3.  Reese refuses to wear anything but a dress these days. 

The birthday was a start to a great summer... one filled with lots of swimming, time with family and the arrival of a new baby sister. We've been blessed in this blistering heat!
