.birthday boy’s day

20150807 Ames's third birthday (136) edit

You wouldn’t know it by looking at his expression in this photo (above), but we had an awesome day on Ames’s birthday this month. We had so much fun making some of his little boy dreams come true—but honestly, Ames would have been ecstatic about his birthday if we had just layed in bed all day. haha He’s easy to please.

When he woke up in the morning he opened his bedroom door and said, “what’s that!?” then he came to my room and excitedly told me there’s a waterfall on his door.

We went for a ride on the Edmonton street car (“train”) same as last year… such a fun time.

We accidentally missed the 11:40 train, and then the 12:20 train was too full, so after much waiting and anticipation we finally got onto the 1:00 train! It pushed our day back a bit, but was totally worth it.

These vintage streetcars are so incredibly beautiful, I’m glad we got to ride on a different one this year… I think we’ve got a birthday tradition beginning to blossom here.

We met up with the family at the Broadmoor Lake water park for some lunch and fun. So much fun.

It’s usually hard to get Ames to leave a park, but this time I simply reminded him: PRESENTS AT HOME

Also I stayed up all night before making this ‘whales in the ocean’ cake ↓↓↓

It turned out aiight. The frosting was cotton candy flavored so that was a hit.

We had Air’s amazing BBQ… he’s a chef I tell you! Please note: **new deck** ↓↓↓

We sure love to see this boy happy, he deserves it for being so awesome.
