John's Third Birthday!

My mom had a great birthday party idea to go to one of Peyton's construction sites and get on the big machinery. John loves anything involved with construction these days so it was a perfect fit. We loaded up our trucks (and mini van) and drove to Buda where Peyton's company is clearing the land for a large housing subdivision.

The kids were fascinated with the huge machinery and it was so fun to actually be able to get inside and see what they are like and feel the way they move. They are massive machines!

Happy Birthday Johnny Cakes!

Two thumbs up for this party

Aunt Emily gave John a construction hat - so fitting for the day!

The kids had just as much fun playing in the ditch nearby

Matt said Will seemed the most intrigued and actually wanted to drive the machine - the others just sat on his lap and were content to watch Matt drive

The birthday boy!

Massive machines!

Can you spot Alivia?

Construction cupcakes!

We left the job site to go to a nearby church playground for a picnic lunch

Singing "Happy Birthday" - I love his face! The gale force wind prevented any hopes of candles.
