Star Wars, Transformers, Toy Story...

...that is the kind of cake that Vaughn wanted for his birthday. I did my best to oblige: We had many themes this year! It is so fun to have a three year old because he loves everything! No matter what we did he appreciated it and thought it was so cool. We tried to give him a little something from everything that he likes and I think it was all a hit! He absolutely loves to dress up and play pretend. (I am sure there are some more masculine terms that his dad would prefer I use to describe this.) He also loves Star Wars so the Darth Vader costume was a big hit. He has already worn it several times and so have the rest of us!

Our great friends gave him a rifle (much to my mom's dismay) and he loves it. He still can't really believe that it is his and keeps asking if he has to give "Vance's gun" back.


Here he is with all of his loot. He made out like a bandit.

The best part of his birthday was that Grandma and Grandpa were able to come enjoy the whole week with us! We partied down and Vaughn was in heaven playing with his grandpa all day. It was hard to get a picture that showed how much Rosalie and my mom look alike but hopefully you can get an idea. They're both so beautiful and are twins!!!


I think my dad fell in love all over again. Rosalie became very attached and flirted with him every chance she got. He could soothe her better than anyone else!


It's hard to believe my baby boy is three!!! He is so fun to have around. He is pretty good with his sister and loves playing with his dad. He can drink more than anyone else I know and always eats all of his vegetables. I hope we have as much fun in year four as we did in year three!

Happy Birthday, Vaughn! He really is a good little guy and we miss you all so stinkin' much. In fact we are getting ready to go to the library and Eli keeps saying he's going to see Vaughn there :(
But at least you are all doing well and I now I'm really glad we got him that Darth Vader figurine. . . it seemes to go with the theme of the party!!!
We love you guys.

Looks like a lot of fun. Your kids are both getting so big. Congrats on everything. p.s. I love the Darth Vader costume. I am not sure there is a more masculine way of saying dress up.

Haha, nice job on the cake! You should have seen the one I made Avery. Pretty sad.
