Tank's 3rd Birthday!

Tank has been looking forward to his birthday party for several months now!! We decided long before his birthday to have a Mickey Mouse theme! Just weeks before his birthday he went to see his first movie in the theater, Monsters University! He began to love the characters in Monsters Inc. but we still pulled off a great Mickey birthday party! It was fun to have some new friends and great to host families that were at his first and second birthday parties too! I made the birthday cake for the first time on my own. It is easier to make it when I am not in my own kitchen! I tend to feel rushed and want to get onto other things much quicker, but it tasted great! Our gift to Tank was the bounce house. He and his friends had a lot of fun playing and jumping in it! We are grateful lots of family made the trip as well! Our little man is another year older! We love you Tank!

Fun in June

Strawberry Patch

Our first time strawberry picking!!! We had a blast meeting the Moms group out to pick a bunch of strawberries. The farmer assigned us a row and we went at it! It was a very hot day and the kids had a blast! Tapanga ate a few bites here and there even though I tried my best at showing them how to pick them (only the red ones) and put them in our bucket! We didn't pick long and decided to spread out our picnic blanket and enjoy our treats!
