Birthday Boy!!!

My baby turned 3 last month!! I keep asking Caleb if he will always be my baby as I rock and hold him and he tells me "No. Get a new baby!" This little boy is not so little anymore! He is a big kid! And oh how I love him!!

To celebrate his birthday we had all the Lewis family come down and party in Price. Nate and cousin Garrett's birthday are all the same week so we have a combined birthday party for the three boys.

Nate's request for his birthday cake this year was "a better than football cake!" It was sure delicious and did taste better than football!

Caleb enjoyed opening presents and being with his extended family!

A few days later on Caleb's real birthday we celebrated again! I made yummy cupcakes for his birthday breakfast!

Then we went to the Dinosaur Museum for a preschool field trip with Mara!

Here's Caleb and his cute friend Addie!!

This is the cute preschool group! I sure love teaching these kids! We have a great group this year! I will miss them when they go to kindergarten next year!

For dinner Caleb wanted pizza! You can see it was delicious by the way his face looks!

I decided to make cake balls for his birthday. I have never made these before but thought they looked easy and I would go for it! I also thought I would make them into star wars characters since he wanted a star wars birthday! This was the idea I found online. I totally thought I could do this! Ya right!

This is how they turned out!!! Nothing like the above picture! I would say it was a complete disaster and disappointment but Caleb didn't seem to mind! He was thrilled with the cake balls! (Ty was disappointed however! He too had big dreams like I did of amazing Star Wars cake balls and he even made the Star Wars spaceship for them to go in!!) Oh well they still tasted good!!

Facts about Caleb:
He loves star wars!
His favorite color is blue!
His favorite cereal is captain crunch!
He can dribble a basketball better than his older brother & sister!
He prefers to sleep with his sister or brother!
His favorite food is pizza, chips & french fries!
He loves to do 25+ piece puzzles! He is amazing!
He loves to tease everyone in his family (especially his sister!)
Example:
The other night we went out for ice-cream. Everyone had an ice-cream cone and Mara just happened to put hers down on the table for a minute. Caleb looks out of the corner of his eye to see if anyone was watching him reaches over grabs Mara's ice-cream cone and starts licking hers!! Mara freaks out and says "Caleb give me back my icecream!" What does Caleb do?! He laughs his head off that he was able to pull off such a great prank! Oh what a kid!

I can't even tell you the joy that this kid brings to me! He is so much fun! I am so grateful he is in our family! I just love him and glad to be his mom! (yes, this is Caleb--not Mara! Mara loves dressing Caleb up, usually he is wearing princess dresses!)
