Birthday celebrations!

My baby turned 3 this past Sunday! We decided not to have a huge birthday party this year and do a couple of small celebrations. I had some of Caden's friends over on Thursday for cupcakes and waterfun!

Then on Saturday, Brandon and I took Caden to the Tennessee Aquarium for another birthday celebration! We had a blast! Caden loved seeing all the "nemos" and his favorite part was the penguins! On his actual birthday we had family over for dinner and cake and icecream! He LOVES batman and spiderman, so we had a superhero theme going on!
I think C had a wonderful birthday week! I still can't believe he's 3! I absolutely love being his mommy and love him to pieces!

June

I'm just going to re-cap the month of June since I haven't blogged all that much!

• Caden and I took a trip to ATL w/ my mom and brother! It was good to see old friends. It was a very quick trip but we managed to squeeze in some fun. We had dinner with friends, went swimming, and got to visit monkey joes for some play time!
• We celebrated our 2nd anniversary with a yummy dinner at PF Changs!
• We have been going to the pool alot....especially in this hot, humid alabama weather!
• Let's see....Brandon got 4 new big tires for his jeep, his ac fixed, and a new knife for father's day. We took him out to lunch at his favorite restaurant and just relaxed the rest of the day!
• I found out I got into nursing school!!! I'm super pumped! I start Aug. 24th. It's going to be a long 5 semesters, but it will be worth it in the end. I'm just tickled to death...i've waited about 2 yrs. to get in and it finally happened!
• Brandon got a new job!! He is now working for a company called ERC which does contracting for NASA. He's working out on the Arsenal at Marshall Space Flight center. Alot of what he does is for the military and gov.t...its secret, so I don't know much about what he does! This job was def. a blessing...he's getting paid a whole lot more w/ flexible hours and his own office. WAY TO GO B!!
• We visited Point Mallard, a waterpark close to us. Caden had a blast and we are planning to go back soon!
• One of my childhood friends, Kristen, met Caden and I for lunch. She was coming through Athens on her way to B'ham. It was so good to see her and meet her little girl Ava! Caden and Ava are only like 3 weeks apart in age!
• And finally....Caden turned 3 the 28th! I can't believe I have a 3 year old. He is growing up way to fast!

Here are some pics from this past month: Caden jumping at the Mall of GA! I can't believe he was brave enough. I'll post the video I took at the end of this post!Monkey Joe's!
