Three years old

Our little boy turned THREE today! He had a blast since it was FINALLY his birthday :) Matt and I took him to the Children's Museum in St. Paul which was a ton of fun. Below are some pics of our day (including him with his favorite birthday present...his new guitar!) as well as the firetruck birthday cake I finished tonight for the party tomorrow.

I'm sad...why do we get sad as our kids get older??? I'm not sad that he's 3, I'm excited and proud of the little boy he's becoming. He's so sweet, considerate, and hilarious (I have blogged about the crazy things he says...check out previous posts!). But I think I'm sad because it's all so overwhelming...that he's MINE, that I'VE raised him, that I am his 'Mudder' (that's "Mother" in Mason talk...he calls me that lately)...I'm overwhelmed at the love I feel for him...overwhelmed at how FAST time goes by.

My baby, my first baby...my dear, sweet, Mason...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
