Happy Birthday to Kepler!

Kepler is 3! And he's pretty excited about it. He totally caught birthday fever from Jayna and has been waiting for his big day.

When he woke up Jayna wanted to go in and sing to him, so we did. But then he just wanted to eat his cake. I think he just associated his birthday with eating cake since that's all he really knows about birthdays. I would have just let him have a piece for breakfast, but it wasn't made yet, oops!
(Note to self, next year I will make his cake the night before instead of the day of his birthday)
Luckily I was able to keep him happy with monkey bread and smoothies for breakfast instead.
We met some friends at the park after that, but about an hour later it started to rain. Good thing we were only a couple blocks from my friend's house so we all headed over there to play instead.
When we came home for lunch Kepler just wanted his cake again. Poor guy! I promised him when he woke up from his nap it would be ready, so he was pretty excited to finally see his Thomas the Train cake!We had Kepler's best friend and family over for a BBQ that night.
Kepler's new soccer ball! Now he thinks he's a soccer player like Jayna!

Happy Birthday to Kepler!

Kepler's best friend Cohen!

We ended the night with Thomas treat bags. I don't think this little boy could have been any happier.

Birthday kisses for the birthday boy!

That night after the kids were in bed Gibb and I heard Kepler singing in his crib "Happy Birthday to Kepler!" hehe! I guess he wasn't done celebrating yet. The next morning when he woke up the first thing he said was "Mommy, am I still 3? That means I can run really, really, super fast now!!"
Oh man, I love this kid. 3 year olds are so fun, and Kepler always has us laughing, especially when we should really be disciplining.
