He has been so excited about his birthday for months, telling everyone about his birthday coming on June 2nd. He had said he wanted a Bob the Builder birthday party and a tractor cake. I went back and forth on whether I really wanted to throw a birthday party at 38 weeks prego but in the end decided that was the best way to make it a special day for him, especially right before his world will turn upside down!
He invited 10 little kids over for his party and lucky for him they were all able to come except his cousins Whitley and Claire, whom he was able to spend the whole last week with...later post. I wondered after the rain last night if the weather would be good, or if his birthday would turn in to my "summer" birthday, which gets rain EVERY year. The weather held out and the party turned out great!
They played hard in the backyard! Swings, bikes, teener tawner (as Koen says), and other toys!

All the kiddies helping Koen, I was so happy he didnt mind.
Water toys, YAH!
He got so many great gifts! Thank you everyone!
And had a pinata, pull string type...great invention!
What are the odds it was the second to last/last string pulled. 
They gathered the candy in their hard hats.
Gotta love the favors.
Ko couldnt lose his new helmet for the pic!
Is this seriously the divers stance? weird!
Watching one last show!
Koen loved the snakes outside the Mayan, he wanted to get in the snakes mouth, but needed me to also!On the way home we stopped for some icecream at Arctic Circle. All in all it was a great day, jam packed with fun for any 3 year old, freak or me! haha We love you Koen. Thank you for being our sweet little boy and for giving us the opportunity to be parents. You are awesome.

Tell me you didn't make that cake--I will be super jealous of your creativeness. That is the cutest cake I've ever seen! good job:)
And congrats to Phil on graduating, that is really awesome.
Happy Birthday Koen. Thanks for inviting us to celebrate this special day with you. The kids loved the party!! xoxo
What a fun birthday. Parker wanted Bob the Builder too, but I couldn't find cute stuff and then he was deathly ill. I can't believe Ko is 3 either!! It seems like just yesterday he was a babe in your arms! Haha. Happy Birthday Koen.
Maybe the diver didnt want your belly to poke him in the bum...LOL
Koen is looking so big. He is such a cutie! I totally know what you mean about throwing a bday party that pregnant. I threw Casens on a Thursday and then had Cora on Monday. It makes life crazy busy.
That is a full day for a 3 year old. I am all about the more the better. So fun.
A 3 year old? That's insane! I love the party pics, and really, that cake? Awesome. Kudos to the baker, especially if it was you! Also, congrats to Phil, that is so awesome! And I hope he gets to keep that hat, because it's totally rockin.
PS I was taking some pictures tonight and saw this woman there with her daughter and she totally reminded me of you; not only was she totally cute and stylish, but her daughter was rocking this killer outfit and she was like, 2. It made me laugh. I took a pic so I'm going to doctor it to make the girl unrecognizable (don't want to get sued) so check my blog in a couple days and you'll see what your future daughter will look like. If you aren't in labor or anything. Sorry for the long comment.
What a fun busy day. Happy Birthday to Koen. He is seriously such a stud! He and Hallie should totally date later in life. LOL Just keepin my eyes open. :)
P.S. You look GREAT! You are what I want to look like when I am 8 months prego.
