Aedan's birthday day celebrations

His last night asleep as a 3 year old

We started the day by going to the church playground.  It was odd not having Josiah with us since he is in school now.  We did save some of the birthday celebrations for after 2:00 so he could be with us and not miss out on everything.  It was hot on the playground...I have to say that I am ready for fall.

Mercy sliding!  She is not afraid...what a big girl!

Mercy sliding~haha!

Next we headed north of town to Waterloo to check out the waterfall.
It is really beautiful with the rock backdrop!

Ryan and Mercy.  You know you have a small baby when they can still fit into the baby bjorn at 16 months!

As we left, we saw a sea serpent's footprint!

We picked Josiah up from school and went to the boys' favorite yogurt place~32 Degrees...Yummy!

After yogurt we went bowling!




We are dinner at McDonalds, Aedan's choice, of course.  We went home and Aedan enjoyed opening his presents from family:)

Aedan's party

After the soccer games on Saturday, we had Aedan's birthday party.  We decorated the night before and got the youth room ready at church (which is where we had the party).  It was a very busy, but FUN day.  Aedan wanted a volcano cake this year, so here is my attempt at the cake:

 It's funny because he and Josiah talk about their next birthday on their birthday as to what cake they want.  I think Josiah wants a shark birthday cake.
