Liam's 3rd Birthday!

Liam turned the big 3 on August 29th! We had a fun day celebrating all day. We were so blessed to have Grammy here to celebrate and spoil Liam with lots of love and throwing him a great Cars themed party! It was one of the hottest days of the year ( 107 degrees!!! OUCH) We had his party at a park luckily it was shady and we were able to start a little early at 9:30 a.m. and ended it early at 11 a.m. to beat the TX heat! We had games, crafts, cake and we ended the party with a bike race! Liam had fun. Although he wasn't too happy during the singing of happy birthday he cried and was a bit overwhelmed by all the attention of his 13 friends who came. BUT overall we had a fun time. Next year I'll have to make some changes and will definitely have it inside. We did have some drama when my Mom left the party to pick up balloons and got stuck in traffic and missed the entire party. She also had my camera and the cake knife so I couldn't take pictures and had no idea how to cut the cake. Thanks to the moms they took pictures for me and one friend even let me use her camera for the day so I could get some pictures. Also my Mom had the knife to cut the cake so we had to try to cut the cake with a plastic fork..yes very annoying but we were able to cut the cake. Things could have been worse. Being 7 months pregnant was hard in the heat also. I had spray bottles on the tables to keep me and everyone cool. So you'll see that Liam & I look wet its not sweat its just from us spraying ourselves with the spray bottles. Another day that we will never forget and will be talking about in the future. Here's some pics our friends took....

The fun didn't stop there. We had a family party for Liam in the evening. Liam had his favorite Pizza for dinner then we sang happy birthday and had cupcakes. He did much better at the second go around no tears. We then opened all his presents (which took most of the evening until his bedtime) thanks to Liam's sweet friends and family he was blessed with so many fun toys!
