Adrian's Third Birthday


Sweet Adrian is three-years-old today. I cannot belie
ve how quickly he is growing up. He has always been very affectionate and is constantly giving me hugs and kisses and wanting me to hold him.

3-1/2-months-old
1-year-old. Adrian celebrated his first birthday in Greece.

3-years-old!

Adrian has been looking forward to this day for months, asking at each birthday celebration we've attended if this was his birthday party. And telling me that he wanted a Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wiggles, Dinosaur, Train birthday party. Of course Theo very authoritatively explained each time that Adrian had to choose only one theme.

Since Adrian loves trains so much, we took the train (uta trax) to Salt Lake City and went to the zoo. We were so happy that Terry and Karlie were able to join us.


On our way there we stopped for Adrian's favorite mac 'n cheese

Observing monkeys

Adrian literally ran to each exhibit. And at each one he asked us to lift him over the fence so he could join the animals. He just could not understand why this was not possible.
By the time we returned home, Adrian was fast asleep. Happy birthday Adrian, you will always be my baby boy!

Family Update Part II: Anthony Theodore "Theo"


 
Theo is an enthusiastic kid who loves any sort of activity be it preschool, soccer, t-ball, or outings. And you can count on Theo to adore his teachers and coaches. He is also very compassionate, especially toward his younger siblings and animals.

Theo just turned 5 (May 4th) complete with a superhero-themed celebration. He started talking about his party in January and you'd think he was having some sort of super-sweet-sixteen party. I caught a little of his excitement and a balloon artist made an almost life-size Batman, put on a juggling show, and made everyone their balloon creation of choice. Totally worth it because I just stood there and watched. I made capes for kids with their "super" initial on the back. We had a very fun time with everyone.
