She's 3

 Three years ago on March 21, 2007 my sweet little Adilyn Beth was born.

Time went by quickly and soon she was turning 1.

Last year she turned the big 2...

and now my little redhead is 3!!

I just want to freeze her and her sweet little self so she can't grow up anymore.

Her birthday party isn't until next weekend and we debated on telling her it was her birthday.  We didn't want to confuse her and get 100 questions about her party, cake, and presents.  But as the day arrived and a few morning hours passed, we decided we couldn't keep her from knowing!  We were excited and she had been asking for weeks, "Am I 3 yet?"  Daddy got her a Happy Meal for lunch and we took her to Chuck E. Cheese later.  Chuck E. Cheese is one of those places, could be at the top of the list, that parents dread going.  We definitely fall into that category of parents.  However, it was well worth it to see her little face light up with joy and excitement.

After she wore herself out playing games, we took her to ToysRUs and Target to shop!  

We came home with the following...

Watercolors!

(A new kid table with 4 little chairs for her to eat and play on.  We have been looking for one of these for a while now.  I'm kind of picky and didn't really want one with princesses, dora, etc on it.  Finally, we found this one!! Not sure she cared so much about this but Mommy was excited!)

New pajamas with princesses on the front and her own little pink lap top.  She says, "I'm working mom!" 

A musical set that includes the drum, bells, tambourine, shakers, etc.  Now we have our own little band in our house!  She has two friends that have a set like this and she has always enjoyed the drum!

And finally, her own golf clubs.  Daddy is starting early with her...training her to be his new golfing buddy!

And this is how Chloe celebrated most of the time...

One more thing that Adi got from us...

We gave it to her a few weeks early because we had to plan around weather, time and help in order to get this thing built. Daddy and Uncle Ryan worked hard for two days!

Happy 3rd Birthday sweet angel!  I love you and your sweet heart, funny personality, and the girl you are becoming!
