We have been celebrating Caleb's 3rd birthday this whole weekend. He officially turns 3 this Tuesday, but we had his birthday party yesterday. He got to choose the theme for his party this year, and take a guess what he chose. Yep, his favorite, a CARS party! We invited 10 of his little buddies and 7 were able to come and celebrate with us. The children all played outside on Caleb's new swing set, they ate lots of cake and food from Flo's V8 cafe, they got car tatoos from "Ramone's House of Body Art", they got to color at "Mator's Markings" and they were able to get their picture taken with Lightning McQueen at the "DMV"and then put in thier own little picture frame. Caleb had a blast and he recieved tons of great toys. He was so excited to open his presents that he started ripping into them before anyone could stop him! This was the most excited I have ever seen him about presents! He also couldn't wait to dig into his cake. He decided a few weeks ago that he didn't want a Lightning McQueen cake (after I had already bought the pan), but that he wanted an orange car cake. I decided to make the cake an orange Lightning Mcqueen and he loved it. He ate about 3 pieces of it at his party! We ended up having a great time and enjoyed being with a lot of our close friends. Enjoy all of the pictures:
This afternoon after we went to church, Russ and I decided to take Caleb to see his first movie at a movie theater. We gave him Dr. Suess' book "Horton Hears a Who" for his birthday, so we decided he could go see it with us at the theater. He was so excited to get to go, but we had to explain to him that he would have to be quiet in the movie. We dropped Kathryn off to spend some time with Nana and Papa and then we took Caleb to the movie. He got to get a great big tub of popcorn ( which he at TONS of) and he got to share our cherry coke. He LOVED it. He did great in the movie except for the times he would ask us what was happening in a very loud voice! He loved it so much that he cried when it was over. It was a very cute movie and it kept his attention the for the entire hour and half. He definitely proved to us that he was able to go to the movies, so we promised him that we would do it again when another good movie comes out!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, CALEB! So sorry we had to miss the Cars party. Pretty soon, we'll be back in the swing of things. I hope it won't take you too long to remember me, you know, the first girl that ever had a crush on you! Hey, maybe your little sister will follow my little brother around like I used to do to you.
Love,
Kailyn
