Ansel turns 3 in pictures

Ansel turns 3!!! I can't believe it! No more babies in our house.  It's a little bittersweet for me.  Ansel likes to remind me that he's my baby- every time we talk about potty training so I think still get to have a baby for a while longer :)

on a side note- check out the picture behind Axel's head- to the left

We got our picture on the wall!

 If you have ever ate at Buca's you know that the walls are full of fun pictures of people eating and doing funny things.  We go to Buca's a lot and celebrate most of our birthdays there.  I had printed a picture of the boys eating at the kitchen table and put sticky stuff on the back.  I asked the manager if they ever had customers get their pictures on the wall.  I then showed him the picture and asked if we could put ours on the wall of people eating meatballs! (in the kitchen at our favorite table) He said of course and was surprised that I had it framed and ready to place on the wall.  Not sure if any one has ever asked that question before.  It really made our day! So if you ever go to Buca's in Burnsville-go to the kitchen table for dinner and check out the pictures!! We are there :)  So cool!!

Love the Buca's B-day song

Sassy 3 year old that got mad that he didn't blow out the candle

Using his own butter knife helps :)
