Tyson had a great birthday this year! I can't believe he is three years old! Every time he talked with his Grandma Francis on the phone he would tell her all he anticipated his birthday would be...which was great because that way I knew his expectations!
Birthday Breakfast of cinnamon toast! I can't complain!
Opening gifts: Laura--how did you know the absolute perfect gift? He was so excited to play with these!
Putting together the leggos! Thank you Laura and Eli!!
Yes, sunglasses are necessary even when you are inside :)
Lunch at the french fry store :)
I can't get enough of this cute boy!
He is so much fun...and I think he's adorable!
He had a few friends over last minute to play pin the tail on the giraffe (Tyson's favorite animal of the moment) and eat cake. It was really fun!
He was too scared to be right by the cake when the candles were lit, but to my surprise he did blow them out! He had been looking forward to this moment for months!
If you would like to be impressed by cakes, don't look here! Instead, check http://russellandheidi.blogspot.com/ (that's my sister-in-laws fantastic blog...she makes a lot of things a lot prettier because she can!) All I had to do was invent orange out of the random food coloring we had left and make it look sort of like a football--Tyson's orders :) I probably shouldn't have even posted a picture of the cake! It was, however, eaten by everyone! You can't go wrong with boxed funfetti cake--for three year olds :)
Tyson was spoiled by his grandparents! He was so excited by the basketball hoop from his grandma and grandpa Francis (used several times a day every day--one time he told Christian he couldn't play because he would miss! We had to explain that daddy just needed some more practice :) ) He also got a remote controlled buz lightyear toy from grandma and grandpa Coltrin which he also thought was amazing! Most of all he enjoyed the "big stack of books!" that came! He LOVES to read and calls these new ones his birthday books :) Thank you so much for making his day special We felt so loved!!
Playing in the packing peanuts--notice the underwear!! Tyson told me he would not wear underwear until he turned three, so on the morning of his birthday he was out of a diaper and in underwear! He did a fantastic job! The next day he told me he wanted his diaper again since he was just two. I told him that meant we would have to give back all of his toys and books. He decided he could be three after all! His stomach is probably one giant gumball since that has been his reward for using the big boy potty--thank you Josh! We have since resorted to saving up beans in a jar which when full will mean we can go to the movies. He's really excited about that and it's better for his teeth! He only had two accidents and is going through the night. After months of torture, he has finally done it! We are so proud of him!
Opening his birthday cards with daddy!
Another shot with the underwear! He loves playing with Austin! He will wake up and climb in his crib when he hears him cry--giving me a few extra minutes of shut eye! What cute boys I have! We are so very lucky! Happy Birthday Tyson! We love you!

Whatever, that cake is AWESOME!! And Tyson beat Hyrum at potty training by a full year! They're at the same exact level.....
Cute kid, I can't believe how much he's grown. We need to see you more!!
I love the pin the tail on the giraffe! I am dreading trying to do a birthday party for Jared. So much pressure to get it right. Maybe we will just go to Chuck E Cheese :) Wish we lived closer!!!
ok, I thought alan's face was funny in the reunion picture but the cake is really funny too-seriously, did you sit on it before? the funniest part was when you said it was actually a football (Bwahahahaha)-Why is everything so dang funny right now!?
