Brigham's 3rd Birthday!


(My pictures went all retarted so they are all over the place but I didn't want to try to figure it all out. Sorry)


Happy Birthday to my big boy! Brigham woke up to us all singing Happy Birthday to him. We have started a tradition to have lots of balloons everywhere when they walk out of their room. We usually just tie them on a domino to keep them from flying all the way to the ceiling but this year we decided to just tie them to a present! It was so much fun. I love seeing the look on their faces when they see the balloons everywhere and then have to find all their presents.





Here's all the presents scattered everywhere in the basement....I didn't get a picture but the bike was hiding behind a couch with a couple balloons sticking up!

And Here's Brigham on the hunt....


A couple days before his birthday, Brigham decided he wanted to ride Jordan's Dora bike. The wheels are all bent up and it rides pretty screwy. But he mastered it in one day! So of course we had to get him his own bike for his birthday. But this one is a little more high tech I guess you would say. It has the brakes when you push the pedal backwards and you have to push harder to get the wheel to go around. So it has taken him awhile to get the hang of it. He's getting it though.



He is also VERY into games so we got him the Cootie game. (It was my favorite when I was a kid.) He and Jordan have LOVED playing it and building crazy cooties! Although Jordan won't play the actual game anymore. You have to roll a die to get each body part and first you have to roll a 1 for the body, then a 2 for the head. You can't add anything else on until you get both of these and the first time Jordan played it with Brigham and Brandon, she only got the body and could never get a head. Brandon and Brigham had their whole cootie built and Jordan still just had their body :(

His bike was by far his favorite gift though.

Brigham loves his cars as well. Stephanie's kids gave him a set of cars which he constantly has to fight Tegan over.

Nana Sorensen made him a library book bag. He has been wanting one since Jordan got one last year for her birthday. She also gave him a new book, a car (which was his absolute favorite at her house), and his very own gum! Oh my goodness was that the coolest thing in the world. That actually might have been his favorite gift :)

Nana Randall gave him some new shorts (he's totally obsessed with shorts now days) and a shirt as well as some really cool new transformer shoes. He even gave up his flip-flops which I never thought would happen!

He also got a birthday card from his cousins in Filmore. He LOVES opening mail so it was a special treat!
He got a birthday card from his great grandma and grandpa Burbank and great grandma and grandpa Sorensen with a couple dollars in them to add to his "moneys".

All in all, he had a great birthday and I can't believe he's 3!!
