They say it's her birthday (well it was...March 12...)

her stats at 3 years:
height - 37.25 in. 61%
weight - 29 lbs 31%
One shot and she didn't even cry, she actually giggled!!

My baby girl turned 3 on March 12th. I am still wondering how in the world I got a 3 year old. Although, her baby years were pretty challenging I still miss parts of them. This girl can be pretty sweet when she wants to be. But can still scream, and throw tantrums with the best of them. She is one stubborn, sassy, silly, sweet little 3 year old!

Her birthday happened to fall on a Friday, so we headed to Moses Lake to celebrate with family. Plus it is her Grandpa Byington's birthday as well, they are both pretty proud to share a birthday!

On the car ride up she fell asleep just before we got there with her balloon we got at Toys R Us the night before! We had a big birthday dinner filled with breakfast fixins at the Fackrell's. Cambree loves pancakes and scrambled eggs so that is exactly what she got!

So here is the cake story. I was feeling pretty lazy and didn't want to come up with some huge cake that fed all of us and something all cutsie. So I told David I was just going to make cupcakes. He thought that was too boring and said he could figure something out. She really wanted a castle cake and he said that would be pretty easy. So I got him all the things he would need. and when we got to my mom's on Friday we started to assemble. well he did. then he gave up and I had to finish. It was not constructually sound AT ALL. I thought any minute this thing was going to topple over. And NO it was not the prettiest cake by far, but the girl loved it and that is all that matters! (please try not to laugh out loud while viewing this piece of art...actually I know it is pretty hideous, laugh all you want)!

I should have gotten a side view so you could see how far it was leaning!

she could NOT wait to open all of her presents. she had a MILLION and ONE!! Seriously this girl got spoiled!

Here are the birthday kids! Grandpa got her this little gardening apron and matching gloves, she loved it!

She loved when everyone sang to her, she even clapped when we were done! (the cake is looking even worse here, because it had to endure the car ride from my parent's to the Fackrell's, and it is starting to settle...)

The next day we hopped in the car with my family and headed to Courd'e Lane to the Raptor Reef indoor water park. It is hooked to a Holiday Inn and we scored a sweet deal on their family room that slept ALL 11 of us comfortably! We had a blast!

This is Bridger's first time in a pool. His facial expression NEVER changed. he couldn't have cared less if he was in the water or not. He slept a lot of the time we were swimming. He was such a good baby!

This girl LOVES her brother, maybe a little too much!

She got this new swimsuit for her Birthday. she still talks about the swimming park. she LOVED it! We actually have a Holiday Inn right by our house and everytime we pass it she says, "mom we slept there last night and went swimming at the water park!" Silly girl. They had this kiddie area that she LOVED and swam the whole time. she did not want to get out. She even went down the slides and basically had the time of her life!

I will say though, one downfall to the whole place. it is indoor, therefore, lots of chemical smells. we all were coughing pretty bad. Some of us older kids went back after dinner and we were ALL coughing uncontrollable...to the point of puking, yes most of us did. It was crazy. But the lifegaurds said that happens ALL OF THE TIME. I wonder what they could do differently that people wouldn't puke, or cough for that matter...?

This girl LOVES all of her Uncles and Aunts. I think she would prefer living at Grandma's and Grandpa's then with us. She talks and asks to go visit them pretty much on a daily basis. Here she is with Uncle Taylor, and for some reason thought it was funny to show me her gum!

I'd say from this picture she had a pretty good 3rd birthday! (note: that picture on her shirt was half picked off by the time we made it home Sunday night. little stinker. I ended up picking the rest of it off so she could at least keep wearing the outfit)

I think her most favorite present was her bike she got from mom and dad! SHE LOVES RIDING HER BIKE!!!

I am pretty sure she dressed herself in this pic!
