When Blake saw this on the TV he looked at me and said "I want that" and I said "you do?" He looked at me and said "YES, for my BIRTHDAY!" How does a 2 almost 3 year old know to ask for something for their birthday?!?
My Dad and Mom came down for dinner, then we opened presents, and had cake and ice cream
Blake would start opening presents and when it got to the box he would start saying thank you, thank you, thank you. Even before he had any clue what was inside.
This was a present from Grandma and Grandpa, I think they all liked it
I loved how Jace had to get a better angle on the present
Blake was very excited about his cake. I had made it the night before and then stashed it in our fridge in the garage. I was afraid he would get into it or something while I was in the shower or something. So all day on his birthday he was saying, "where is my Buzz Lightyear cake?" I would say "I think he is hiding," and he would say, "we need to find him." So when I finally got his cake out that evening, he yelled "You found him!" It was too cute!

These were the Toy Story PJ's he got from us, my sister got him 2 other pair of Toy Story PJ's, but he loves them all
Blake and Carson at the South Davis Rec Center where we celebrated their birthday's together. They were born exactly 1 week apart, so it works out nice to celebrate together. This year we decided to rent the room at the pool and then let them swim. Blake and Jace loved the big water slide inside and we had to keep taking them up the stairs and go down. Austin loved playing the water basketball, while Logan just swam around with cousins.
Here is the group of kids for the party. Overall I think the kids really enjoyed the party.
Thursday night we were at Logan's baseball game and Austin and a couple of friends went to the park to play. Blake wanted to go with them a little later, so I brought him over to play and told Austin to watch him. Not too long after Jayden, Austin's friend came running over to me telling that Blake was hurt bad. When I asked what was wrong he told me that his finger nail was ripped off. I went running over and when I got to him he was just kind of whimpering, but he was covered in blood. Both hands, face, arms, jacket, etc. I told Austin to run and grab Ryan and meet me by the bathrooms so that we could get him cleaned up. It totally looked like his nail had ripped from the one side and was hanging. Well, once we started cleaning it up it was actually a piece of fatty tissue that was squished out of his finger and was flipped over his nail. We looked at his finger and wasn't sure if a DR could really do anything with it. We found out that the boys had flipped over a man hole cover and it caught Blake's finger and smashed it. We left the game early and ran him to a friends house who is a nurse and she said to run him to the instacare. We did and the kidscare DR didn't even want to touch it, she said we should probably go to primary's and see a hand specialist/plastic surgeon. My friend Kris had asked the normal instacare DR if he would do a nailbed/finger repair and he said he would. So we went across the hall to have him check to see if it was something he really wanted to tackle. He agreed to it, numbed him up (while he was asleep, rude awakening I know), sent him to x-ray. He didn't see a fracture, so we started with stitches. It took 6-7 gut (dissolvable) stitches and 6-7 regular stitches. It had basically exploded the end of his finger. He did awesome throughout it all. He prescribed him an antibiotic and we went home and got the poor little guy to bed. The next morning the DR's office called and said that radiology did see a small fracture. They just stressed how important it is to take the antibiotic for this reason. So once again Blake got stitches, but is doing great. These pictures actually make it look a lot better than it did when we arrived.
