Happy 3rd Birthday Marshall!

My baby is a baby no more! He is now a kid. Sad but exciting at the same time. Our dinosaur loving, airplane flying, car chasing, jump-off-of-all-furniture kid is the most articulate 3 year old I know. Sometimes I don't even realize he is listening in until he opens his mouth to put in his two cents in whatever conversation Sam and I might be having. Just an example of something he would say, "I went on a roller coaster with daddy and Ivy. And my friend Avery. And Avery said 'wee!' And you rode in a car." Had to write that one down because it cracked me up! Another time he tried to tell me a joke (Ivy tries to say jokes every now and again, which is where he gets it from I think). He said "Mom, let me tell you a joke... a car went into a snort. And then they went into the water..... and now it's done." Haha! Who is this smart kid??

Marshall's favorite color is red and has been for a while. I think it's thanks to Lightening Mcqueen? He begs to wear a red shirt just about every day. He is obsessed with Paw Patrol these days. As well as cruising around on his balance bike. He really seems to be sort of an adrenaline junky of sorts, considering he loves to jump off of high places, tries to balance on small items, and always tries to ride faster, swing higher, and spin while trying to balance on the edges of the merry-go-round (who does that??). I fully envision him to be bungie jumping, slacklining, and half-piping in his future at some point. His abilities are pretty impressive. haha! 

He still has such a tender heart and never turns down his mama for cuddles and kisses. He will snuggle right up to just about anyone who wants to hold him. He also loves Ivy so much. They have so much fun together, most of the time, and I'm super grateful! 

For the birthday boy's day, we started off with presents and dinosaur pancakes, thanks to daddy, then took the kids to see the new disney movie Moana! It was a hit! Both kids asked to listen to the music in the car right after we left!

Marshall enjoying his future mode of transportation. He is still obsessed with all trucks, racecars, and motorcycles. He still loves trains and airplanes as well. Basically anything that moves! He likes balls and sports okay but not obsessed. It's more about the vehicles and dinosaurs for this kid!

After we were done at the movies, Marshall's friend Brigham was having a birthday party at a tumbling gym! Considering this is one of Marshall's favorite places, we decided it would be fun to go! Happy Birthday Brig! Glad we got to spend the day with you and other friends ON Marshall's bday! hehe.. Marshall did the zipline.. Why am I not surprised he could do this?? ha!

After the party, we went home to enjoy Marshall's cookie cake that he picked out! They wrote the number 3 on it for him! Happiest of Birthdays to my sweet boy!
