If you ask McKade, he will tell you his birthday is "August 23rd." He's right! Saturday my big-but-still-my-little-boy turned 3! He was so adorable and excited for his party, which he chose to follow his big brother, Dallin, and go to peter Piper Pizza. All the kids had fun playing the games and going down the slides, and we all enjoyed the pizza. McKade was so excited to open his presents, which included monster truck after monster truck (which is all he said he wanted!). His favorite presents though came from Grandpa Ruth which was a truck with a trailer carrying a tractor and Grandma Kathy gave him a spider man car jumping thing. (kinda hard to explain.) Anyways, he hasn't put the truck/trailer down yet, except for bath time of course!
I just had to include this picture of Parker blowing out the match in his cupcake like a candle. He wanted to keep doing this and it was so funny!Today McKade had his 3 year check up with Dr. Jones. (I really, really like this DR.!) He is 40 inch. tall (70%), weighs in at 29 1/4 lbs. (20%), and is doing great overall. We did find out today that he has what is called an innocent heart murmur. I was getting worried as Dr. Jones kept listening to his heart, lying him down to listen, making McKade crunch into a sit-up position to listen, and then repeating this for about 10 minutes without saying anything. I guess it is common in really skinny small children, and it is nothing to worry about, but as his mother, I am still worried. They will check it next year to see if it has gone away, and if not, we may be sent to a cardiologist. Other than that, Dr. Jones was very impressed and said McKade is the smartest, best behaved 3 year old he has ever seen. (As his mother, I don't quite agree with the best behaved all the time, but he was very good at the Dr. today.) McKade wouldn't stop spouting off random facts about himself, which was funny like when his birthday is, how to spell his name, what color of shirt everyone in the family wore today, and how long he sat on the toilet yesterday before church because "he had a lot of poo." I for once, couldn't get this child to stop talking!
I am so grateful to have McKade in my life. He is such a blessing, and I learn new things everyday just because I get to be his mother. I love you, McKade, Happy Birthday, Buddy!

Happy Birthday McKade. I miss Peter Piper Pizza for an easy birthday.
