"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BAKEY"

 Some buddy turned 3, and somebody else isn't very happy about having to leave lagoon after only 2 hours.  Blake's birthday was on Labor Day.  It was nice to have Jared home for the holiday.  Blake had one request of getting to ride the choo choo and the only other ride he freely will go on is the little speedway.  He's not as big on rides as we hoped he'd be this year but we still nice fun day together (and by fun I mean we all went somewhere outside of our own yard and we all made it back alive :) 

 Austin's 2 bottom teeth broke through HOORAY! and what a happy boy he is about it too. 

Teething is a tough business.

 Now as long as he doesn't bite his little tongue off which is quite often pointed in my direction.

 He's got some pretty classic birthday face poses I must say :)

 after a little more fun at station park it was time to head home.  Levi wouldn't leave without scoring some of these beach balls from a tent vendor.  Thanks Levi, he got on for everybody.

 and 2 days later he got to have his official party with his best little cousins.  It's just not quite considered a birthday party without decorations says Levi so on Monday we made some fish for the walls, and Tuesday put up balloons.  Blakey sure liked it so that's what makes me smile.

 Hey look balloons, it really is a party.  Careful mate, those balloons can be a bit dodgey. 

You wouldn't want one of them to pop.

 this is what he does when I say Blake say cheese . . .

 Here are some of our cute fish, I won't say who made what, 

but the boys fish are the cute ones for sure. 

 Levi made a cute red fish with stars all over it for his star fish.

Here are the newest additions to the family, our hypoallergenic pets. We keep looking at puppies that don't shed but can't bring ourselves to go through with it, so we'll try fish for a bit.
Yes we miss Simba.
