Manti's 3rd Birthday

I figured I better get this posted before he turns 4!! Here is the birthday boy...last year....

Pretty spoiled right?

Sebastien and doodle bug wanted to get in on the birthday fun.

Momma and the birthday boy!

Don't pay attention to the singing but just watch his face! He LOVED being sung to.

For his birthday party we decided to have a carnival party. We had a photo booth, lucky duck game (try and find the duck with the number 3 on it), bean bag toss, ring toss and one that you had to knock cans off the table. We had the bubble machine going and a cotton candy machine. It was such a blast!

Friends and Family at the photo booth....LOVE IT!!

Everyone enjoying some bubble time and cotton candy. Can't complain, right?

This cute little guy got a little hot and climbed in the bucket with the ducks! It was so hiliarious.

The crazy Cahoon's at the carnival party.

The birthday boy and his cake. I made it so it's nothing fantastic but he loved it.

These two are the best of friends. I love that they are so close it reminds me so much of Paul and I when we were growing up.

Here is the birthday boy, cotton candy face and all. At the end of the day he was pretty exhausted and this is how I found him sleeping. I think he had a pretty awesome birthday!!

10 Months

Doodle bug is 10 months!! Time flies with one baby but with the third it seems so hard to keep up with all of the new things she is discovering. Here is what she is up to:

* Got tooth #6 (5 June 2011)

* First time on an airplane and was PERFECT!!

* First trip to California: Beach & Sea World

* Loves to swing

* First time swimming

* 1st ear infection :(

* Loves the light switch

* Walks along the couch

* Got tooth #7 (20 June 2011)

* Tries to escape outside as soon as the door opens

* 15 pounds 2 ounces

* Likes table food

* Climbs the stairs

She loves to be outside. She thinks picking the grass is the best thing ever.

Here is her big, cheesy smile. We just love it!

Swimming with friends in the backyard. She loves baths now but was a little confused as to what she was suppose to do in the pool.

Someone got her to smile...notice all the grass?? That was from her picking it then throwing it into the pool BEFORE getting in!

I love the crazy teeth smile. She always looks so cute on Sunday's for church. (This is when she would tolerate the headband just long enough for a picture. I miss those days.)

July 4th

We love the 4th of July. Not only for the significance of it but it's always an excuse to barbecue and hang out with friends. We love the summers in Cheyenne and being able to be outside so much. Because I am so far behind in posting, I cannot remember everything we did on the 4th but I am sure it involved baking, barbecue, time with friends and of course fireworks! I really love the fireworks show here. Probably because we basically have front row seats on base and we don't have to fight the crazy traffic. The boys love it too. Doodle bug was still too young to really care but all in all, everyone enjoyed the day.

The three kiddos were good to pose for a picture.

Doodle bug was feeling pretty special, she got a lot of attention from her brothers.

She is just too cute for words.

The kids were better taking a picture with our good friends then they were taking a picture with us.

Family picture!! I like to take the opportunity any chance I get.

The boys love taking pictures of the fireworks, these actually turned out pretty good.

Aunt Wendi Visits

Aunt Wendi came to visit Easter weekend and we all had so much fun. We did a lot of fun things but I think one of the funniest things was the boys playing Sword Fighting on the Wii with Aunt Wendi. She tried hard but was defeated by both boys!

This is little man's favorite game and he really gets into it. He was not about to lose.

I love this little smile. He won the fight and was so proud of himself for beating Aunt Wendi.

She got one win in, but he took the rest and I took a picture to prove it! :)

This is his little Mii character standing proud and Aunt Wendi's is in the background with her head down. Little man saw that and said, "Aunt Wendi, why are you sad?"

Sebastien was not going to be left out of the competition. He was very quick to take on Aunt Wendi. Look at her concentration.....maybe next time sis! :)

The proof that we whooped her! Keep on practicing Wendi.

She was a good sport through it all. Even after losing to both boys she had a smile on her face. We love Aunt Wendi so much and were so glad we got to spend a week with her. Hopefully she will come back and visit soon. I know the boys would love to have a Sword Fighting rematch. (hint, hint Wendi)

Puzzles

Sebastien is our little puzzle guy, always has been. He recently started doing harder puzzles and loves the challenge. This was a 100 piece dinosaur puzzle that he mastered in a day. Whenever he gets a new puzzle to do, he will do it once with a little help and then two or three more times by himself.

Little man didn't help much but wanted to get in on the picture taking so he took one piece apart and then put it back as if he had been working on it for days. He is too funny.
