Wrapping up the Birthday Weekend

We survived the THREE day THIRD birthday blowout

Sunday morning Nana and I took all the kiddos on a little outing to get breakfast burritos. Owen was a big fan of the chocolate milk mostly.

Henley is a fan of pulling hair! This does not help her popularity with her brothers. It does, however, keep them out of her face, which Momma likes!

Do I have a model on my hands? Love this guy! He won't pose for a picture to save his life and then he busts out with this pose.

Henely loved getting some attention from her grandparents.

2.25 kiddos made it into the group picture. We'll try again next time!

The Day After...

Once we got calmed down after presents last night, the boys slept like zombies!

Owen was the first one up (as he is 99% of the time). He went down stairs with Todd and I to get his milk and our coffee. He peeked into the living room and had a look as if to say "It wasn't a dream! It was real!" He went running in naming each and every toy he saw.

The Toy Story train was a big hit. Owen loved to watch the train go and Brody loved to watch the bridge "explode" and the train crash.

We didn't even get to cake on the boys actual birthday. They did cupcakes on Thursday at school with their classmates. Everyone was in the living room watching the boys play with thier toys, but Brody snuck off...he came back with the cake. Guess what we had for breakfast?

It's an odd year so we sang to Owen first. He was so excited to blow out the candles.

Brody was not as excited to blow out his candles...

Next up, a Prince & Princess Tea with our sweet friends, Anna and Brown

Owen couldn't wait until after lunch was served

My children know how to properly eat a cupcake! Must have learned it from their Momma!

We were served in tea cups. Brody found a way to make it work!

I think we are partied out!
Thank you so much for inviting us, Anna and Brown!

Owen and Brody are THREE

My boys are THREE!

This was as good a pic as they were going to give me of the two of them together.

A little pre-dinner present to tide them over. Owen is totally crazy about Scooby Doo so he opened some characters from the show. Brody opened a Wall-E figure. He has stood by Wall-E for years now.

Poor babies didn't get any presents. Can you see the huge, goofy grins on their faces?

Let the opening begin!! Brody started to be interested in presents at Christmas, but NOW he is totally into it. There is no double-opening for Owen anymore.

A basketball goal from Nana and Papa D. They need to get to practicing. Might have a superstar on my hands?!?!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!

Daddy won present of the year! This is a set of all the characters from "Mater's Tall Tales". We had to end the night with this gift.

Great Ma and Great Pa came in town to help us celebrate. They enjoyed watching the boys tear through their presents, but I think they enjoyed Henley's snuggles the most!

Meet Stinky. He is a trash truck that talks, eats toys, and them passes them through the other end. Brody thinks he is the coolest thing ever.

TOTALLY OVERWHELMED!

Must go to sleep!

The boys were practically twitching when we put them to bed. Of course, Owen took an armload of cars to bed with him. Brody had a more difficult time. He couldn't even decide what to take and was practically shaking. I rubbed his back for 2 seconds and he was out!

The Sweetest Things!

It was a HAPPY HAPPY Valentine's Day at the Rogers House this year! Lots of love!

Henley was beyond excited about the big day!

Our three little Valentines. How stinkin' cute are these kiddos????
Owen was all grins and kisses!

Sweet Brody was LOVIN' his Skittles

So LOVE-able!

They even showed Holly the LOVE

Daddy sent his little girl her first Valentine's bouquet. (Her lucky momma received one too! Daddy is soooooo sweet to his girls!)

Brody and I made cupcakes for our sweet friends Valentine morning

He was TOTALLY into this project. So excited I have a cooking assistant in my future!

Owen wanted no part in baking. He was more into modeling his Buzz backpack...

and lunch box. We were heading to the YMCA for a workout and swim lessons (hence the luggage).

Look what Henley's Valentine brought her!!!

I can't wait to see her sweet little tushie in this suit!

Oooooooo! Toy Story Cars!

What?

There's so muchLOVEin this house!

Green Bean Time

It's time to start food!!!!!

Henley's first reaction to green beans!
"Really. You expect me to eat this stuff?"

FLASHBACK!
At least she is a much neater eater than her brothers!

She did enjoy the water from her new sippy cup to wash down those beans!

Look at me! I can hold my bottle ALL by myself!

The first couple of days Henley was not sure about her green beans. My pediatrician told me with the boys to keep feeding them the food until they give in and eat it. It only took Henley about two days. We started green beans on Saturday and by today she was scarfing them down. We have also added oatmeal to her diet. She is a fan! I only gave the boys cereal in a bottle, but this little lady loves to eat her cereal thick and from a spoon. I'm so proud of her!
