Ben's 3rd Birthday

Ben turned 3 this weekend! We are so amazed by how much he's grown and learned this year. It will be fun to see what else he learns this year. On Saturday, we had his birthday party at Pump it Up in Urbandale. He invited all of his buddies from daycare, neighbor buddies, and family friends to bounce around and play! Then, Sunday we had just a small family gathering to celebrate on his real birthday. He got to blow out the candles twice and in Ben's words: "I turn 3 AGAIN!" We ate scratch cupcakes (complete with green frosting per Ben's request) and play with all his presents. Here are a few photos from the birthday fun:
