reagan's 3rd birthday party!

reagan just had his 3rd birthday. he was born may 28, 2007 at 10:53am. reagan holds a special place in my heart because he made us a mommy and daddy.  we are so lucky to call him our son. he is a smart little guy who leaves nothing unnoticed. it amazes us what he picks up on. keeps us accountable and makes me want be the best mommy i can be because i know he's watching and remembering every move we make as parents. that being said, he's 3, and it's hard! we have reached the hardest stage with him so far. part of this stage is much much easier because he is more independent, and he helps out so much. but the other part of this stage is sooo much harder because he is more independent (ironic huh?!?). he seems to have forgotten his manners now that he's 3, and i'm wondering where he lost them. i want my sweet little boy back all the time. that being said, i wouldn't change him for the world. he's normal. he's 3. and i love him! he makes me laugh, smile, scream, cry (sometimes for joy and sometimes out of frustration!), smile (did i say that?), and he's just pure joy (most of the time).

now to the good stuff. we had reagan's birthday party this past saturday (a week late because of graduations and memorial day weekend). the theme was sports. he picked it out and was so excited. we had a good time celebrating him with family. here are some pictures from the party:
