Happy Birthday June

My June is three years old!!!! I can hardly stand it that my girl is getting so old. My mom use to tell me that she was going to put a rock on my head so I would stop growing - now I want to say that to June. She is such a big girl, and my best helper. She learns so quickly and I am impressed with the stuff she knows everyday. Here are a few things about June right now:

• She loves to watch movies/cartoons (mickey mouse clubhouse, Dora, Thomas the Train, Princess and the Frog, Mermaid, Tinkerbell, etc.)
• She has a new love for library books and she still loves all of her own story books.
• Everyday she wakes up wanting to go swimming, and could stay in the "hot pool" all day.
• She has a great imagination and loves to pretend. I love to just sit back and listen to her talk to her toys and dolls.
• She loves her brother and calls him Jackie. Although, sometimes she is a little rough with him.
• Every night she wants me to snuggle with her in her bed and we sing princess songs together.
• She loves her Dora jammies
• She hates getting her hair brushed, let alone letting me do anything with it.
• She is kind of sassy and bossy (but that just comes with being the oldest!)
• The girl loves hot dogs and broccoli
• She is very social and loves to go play with her friends
• She is her mom's best buddie

Here are a few pics from our birthday celebration. This is first thing in the morning looking over all her presents. Sean had to go into work at noon, so we had a little breakfast birthday party with him. June even got to open a few presents before daddy left. Here she is with her new bubbles!

Later that day we had to run to Walmart and I let her play on the toys there. She always wants to do this, but usually I don't want to, but on her birthday she got her way.

We went to the ward playdate and brought cupcakes for all of the kids. June loves playing at the playground with the kids.

After the park June helped me make her birthday cake. She loved to lick the spatula, but got pretty messy while doing it.

Since one of June's favorite foods in hot dogs, that is what we had for dinner. Brett grilled them outside for us, and we ate out on the patio, so it was very pleasant.

For her birthday cake this year I made 6 mini 3-tiered cakes. It was my first time using the pan, so they didn't turn out exactly how I pictured them in my head, but they were still cute. Here June is blowing out her candle.

The next night we had another birthday cake because Sean wasn't there on her actual birthday. It was just a normal chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, so nothing fancy there.

I am so blessed to have this little angel in my life. She brings me joy each day and it is incredible how much I love her. Happy 3rd birthday to my beautiful June!!!
