Vale's 3rd Birthday

 My sweet precious boy is always the first child awake, no matter what time he went to bed.
So at 6:40 I had a little 3 year old climb up into my bed and say 'Mommy wake up! I'm three!!' :)


We started off the day with painting some superman posters while mommy made breakfast!


Vale got to pour his own syrup on his french toast cause he's a big boy now!


This is right after he said, "This is yummy mommy! Thank you!"  He's so sweet!


I tell you what, it was yummy especially after eating stripped down health food for the past two weeks!


This little kid is such a stud... :)


 So Vale wanted to go for a horse ride for his birthday like his brother did!  Fortunately we have a wonderful lady in our church who owns a horse on a little farm and said the boys were welcome to come and ride.  
It was perfect!

She was a sweet Tennessee Walker named Piper.
Vale got to brush her before we put the saddle on.


He was very serious about being a good cowboy. :)


He was LOVING it and the best part is that as she was walking him around he was singing!  It was adorable!


We are trying to teach Connor that life doesn't revolve around the oldest child so he didn't get to ride, only Vale did but he got to sit on the horse with Vale for one lap around the paddock. :)


He was so happy there... I like it that my kids aren't completely city-fide from living in LA!


He and Piper having a little chat... 


They even coordinated outfits... :)


We brought some carrots to feed to her when we were done.  HAHAHA Vale was a little concerned about the huge lips headed towards his hand! hahaha


There was also a bunny named Strawberry.


... and a goat named Summer, who Connor rode :) not a very smooth ride... 


 She had 5 chickens as well and we found out this summer that Vale's out little chicken chaser so he had fun with them too!  One of them even laid him a egg!  He got to take it home as a birthday present!


This little one thought he was the new sheriff in town... He'll learn :)


There was also a tire swing shaped like a horse that Vale had a blast on... :) It really was a fantastic morning and so much fun!


Then Vale wanted to go to Chick-fil-a for lunch. Oh. My.  It was veterans day so all the kids were off school... It. Was. Packed.  Had it not been his birthday I would have said forget it kid! 
He was happy though! :)


 Then we came home and there was a big surprise!  His Nona and Bis Nona came down for the day and left the next morning!  He was very excited!

Then he got a nap while we all got things ready for his birthday 'party'/dinner.


He asked for green cake with white icing and chocolate ice cream... ok!


Then we went upstairs and he saw the PRESENTS!!! :)


I think he was a little excited!! 


I suppose I would be too if I saw a table like that and was told they are all for me!


He had a blast with the punching bag and gloves!


He was so thrilled and very grateful which also made it fun for us as parents!


Shay was just happy he found something to chew on... 


He got this giant soft spider-man blanket which he loved!


Lots of other fun toys which he loved!


And even some money that was directly deposited into his bank :)


He also got a balance bike but those pictures will have to come later when there is daylight outside! :)

He had a fantastic birthday and is such a sweet, loving and wonderful boy! We are so blessed!
