Jae turns 3

We are all under the weather, minus Jimmy, so we tried to make Jae's birthday fun. When Jae woke up, he said that he wanted to go to the park. I think he saw his shovel and rake in the toy bin and decided that that's what he wanted to do. It was a fabulous idea! So, Jimmy took Jae to the park while Joey and I stayed home and made breakfast. Well, I tried. I peeled the potatoes for hashbrowns and I made caramel syrup for our French toast that was in the freezer from when Jimmy made it earlier this week.

Jae enjoying the park:

It looked like such a beautiful morning!

So, they got home and we had breakfast and then went to campus for a Saturday's Market type thing. We walked around the different booths and spent a couple dollars at our friend's Japanese Relief for Sendai booth. We got Jae a water balloon yo-yo and I got a bookmark. I wished I had looked around more, but I failed. Ha.. it was so hot. :(

Jimmy wanted a caricature of Jae done, so we did that for his present.

We got home, had pizza, and then napped.

After we woke, Jae wanted to glue:

And eat a tuptake.

He started with 3 Junior Mints on his cupcake.

He ate those.

Then he licked some frosting.

Then he added 2 more Junior Mints.

Then he licked the rest of the frosting.

Then he asked for more.

I said, "no."

Here is a really long, maybe boring video of Jae opening presents. The best part is 2:36-2:39. And, also a shout out to G&G Roberts at the end!  Thank you for the gifts!
