Emerson had a very special birthday this year. Nana, Boppa and Ry flew in to Phoenix the night before his birthday. Here are a few of the highlights from his birthday:

The buzz cake was such a pain. The first time we made the cake it fell apart coming out. I should have just ran to the store and bought a cake but I was determined so we started over. The cake was ready for us to start decorating 5 min before the party started. This left my mom and dad to finish the cake. They had hardly any time and they did a great job.

The kids made pirate hats, eyepatches and swords.

We went to dinner with my family after the party.
It was such a fun birthday and emers felt so loved by his cute friends and family!
Now for my "sappy" part.....I love this little boy so much. Mike and I can listen to him for hours. He says so many funny and innocent things. Our world would be so different without him. We feel so blessed to have him in our family. Emerson has always felt a little older to me than he actually is but for some reason as soon as he "turned 3" I got a little sad. I can't believe how big he is getting. He started soccer and is starting preschool tomorrow. I thought about keeping him at home with me to postpone the school thing but he is ready and wants to go, so in a small way I need to let go a little and let him have fun and feel like a "big boy." I can already tell that I am going to have a major meltdown when he starts kindergarten. Good thing I have a couple years to prepare:)
Happy birthday buster boy. Your family loves you so much!
