Happy Birthday to my sweet Mack!

We celebrated Mack's 3rd birthday last week at Chuck E Cheese (a week early) so that his best buddy Trenton could be there. (It was the day before Carolee's family left for Pennsylvania).

All the Thompson and McCook cousins came and it was a lot of fun.
Here is Mack getting ready to blow out his "big 3" candle.

Mack is my little buddy! He is so sweet, here are a few fun facts about Mack.
He loves to swim, he is a fish and could swim for hours!
He changes his clothes ALL day long, puts at least 5 new outfits on a day. His swim trunks are the first thing on in the mornings.
He loves his new baby brother and showers him with kisses all day long.
You will often find Mack riding his tricycle in the backyard.
He loves his nursery class at church and especially his favorite teacher Maryann!
He loves to play baseball, basketball, and football with his Dad and brothers and of course dress up with his sister:)
Happy Birthday Mack..We all love you!

Now on to my sweet Noah (who is 3 months today)...I don't know what the deal is but this little guy does not sleep!!! He only takes a couple 15-20 minute cat naps throughout the day and that's it! He sleeps well at night and is happy during the day... this is a first...has anyone had a baby who doesn't require a lot of sleep? It makes for not getting much done. We sure love him though...just may love him a little more if he took better naps :) hee hee

Ethan is at Raging Waters today with Aunt Summer and Trevor is at the Beach...I took Kate and Mack to see Kung fu Panda yesterday while Trevor was at a friends and Ethan was at Aunt Summer's house (it was cute movie)...should have saved that for today! I need to find something fun for them to do today!

I had cat nappers too when my kids were little. I think it comes from so much going on. They just sleep in little bits and pieces. All I can say is that my kids grew out of it and by about 6 mo., they were good nappers. Hang in there and I'm sure it will happen for you too!

Mack is such a cutie! Where have the past 3 years gone? The twins turn 3 in November. Ahh!

Mack is so cute. I love 3 years old.

Noah is a doll too. I can't believe he never sleeps. That would kill me during the day. At least you get a good night's rest. That always meant the world to me if I could just sleep through the night. :D

Happy B'day Mack!!

Such cute pictures! Happy birthday to Mack! I love 3 year olds...it is just a fun cute age!

Brody was more of a cat napper when he was little like Noah. I think it had to do with me having to wake him up all the time to go get kids etc. Now that he is older, he does A LOT better and takes good naps. I am just glad Noah is sleeping at night....what a huge difference that makes! He is so cute and I CANNOT believe he is three months already! Wow!

Hold the phone are we trying the dog thing again?? He is cute though.

Happy birthday to Mack. I bet it was sad/exciting to see your sister move away. I can't believe how big your baby is getting! So sweet.

My Mackenzie wasn't a sleeper either. Sadly, I have no tips for you. I just remember being so tired all the time that I couldn't come up with a solution, lol. I hear baby tylenol works good.... totally kidding, lol.

Mack and Trenton are so cute together in their matching shirts! I can't believe he's already 3!

I hope Mack had a great bday. He is so darn cute.

My kids were cat nappers also and it drove me crazy!! They did grow out of it but man it is hard until you get there. I can't beleive Noah is so big and he is so cute.

Cute, Cute boys.

Hopefully Noah will get his system down soon (maybe just in time for school to start and you will be the one waking him all the time....).

I cannot believe he is 3!!! WOW!

Cat naps are hard to get much done...I am not sure how you do it all. You are an amazing person.
