Rocklin's 3rd Birthday Party

Today we had Rocklin's 3rd birthday party. Since he is obsessed with "choo-choos" (mostly Thomas the Train) these days, we decided to go with a train-themed party. There is a big park really close to our house that has a real train that kids can ride and it was the perfect place for his party. We all had a lot of fun, especially Rocklin. It made me so happy seeing him having such a great time with friends and family!

Of course, I use any excuse I can get to make cupcakes. Here are his choo-choo cupcakes.

The goody bags for the kids.

The pom-poms. (these are so fun to make!)
M&M centerpieces
Birthday Banner
(and notice the background - such a BEAUTIFUL day outside!)
Mommy attempting to light the candles
Daddy actually lighting the candles
Make a wish!
The train ride around the park
Adam, Rocklin and I in the very front of the train
Excited for the train ride to start!

Opening presents...it's Thomas! Notice Rocklin's big smile. :)
Cool...monster truck! (And I love Bryson in the background, cupcake in one hand and sucker in the other...now that is what birthday parties should be like!)
Rocklin's best buddies:
Catcher, Bryson and Rocklin
Some good friends of ours from our last ward:
Kami, Megan, Reuben and cutie-pie Whitman.
Rocklin with Aunt Kristie, Cousins Andy and Rylee
Emily and Ryan
(Adam's brother and his daughter)
Some of our friends - Brad, John & Nate
My Mom, My Dad, Adam and Ryan

Happy 3rd Birthday, Rocklin! You are such a sweet, fun-loving boy. We are SO glad you are in our family. You are such a good boy and a loving big brother. We love you!

So fun! I can't believe how fast they grow. You did a great job on his party and it looks like he had a great time. I don't know if I'm going to attempt a party for Ellie this year, or just do something simple. We'll see.

Catcher had so much fun playing with Rocklin and Bryson! It is always good to see you. I miss having you in our ward. The party was totally cute and was so much fun to watch the little boys play.

What a fun party! Happy Birthday to Rocklin! Everything looks amazing. And I'm so jealous that you get to have your son's JANUARY birthday party OUTSIDE! Audrey's is in June and it's usually too cold and/or wet to have hers outside. Jealous.
