Three Years Old!

A cheesy, teary and special post for my amazing three year old! On November 29th, 2006 Brock entered our lives with great furry and life as we knew it was changed in an instant. NEVER could we have anticipated or imagined the intense love and joy he would bring to our lives. We watch with great excitement and gushing pride as he accomplishes every challenge before him and look forward to seeing what the future holds. He exhausts and energizes us with his curious mind, amazing wit, fearlessness, and pure spunk. My dear Brock – we will do our very best to nurture you, to challenge you and to keep up with you! We will support you with all our strength and love as you grow into the awesome human you are certain to be. Our greatest wish for you – To just be you! To follow your dreams! To be happy! I hope you read this someday (when you can read) and know how much you are loved and know that we will do all we can to help you achieve your dreams.

Yes, I know – very deep for a three year old post! Brock had a great third birthday. We celebrated for about a week with the grand finale being his birthday party. Six toddlers, 4 babies, lots of parents, pinata (yes, very scary), bean bags, prizes, good food and cup cakes equals one awesome time! Thanks to all of our friend and family who made number three so special! Here is a little bit about Brock at age three...


This summer Brock developed some seriously good Frisbee skills. It is strange because although he appears to be right handed he throws the Frisbee lefty style...and it is impressive!

Although Brock has never been into sleeping much he sure is cute when he does!

Brock has very refined tastes for a three year old - some of his new favorites pomegranate, artichoke and onions.

Brock takes his big brother role very seriously! He is incredibly loving with Theo and he is always trying to teach Theo things. This little bond is so fun to watch! Theo returns the favor by laughing and smiling at Brock constantly. The other day Brock was playing peek a boo with Theo and I have never heard Theo laugh so hard - too cute!

Brock really enjoys playing with Play Dough...he sculpts animals and makes food.

We started to read to Brock when he was just a day or two old. Now he is a lover of books! He loves to read and can now point out if you skipped a page or even a word! How dare you!



The beach! Brock loves water whether it is the beach, river, lake, hose or bath tub! He is not concerned with the temperature...in fact, one of his favorite things is to turn the water in the shower to cold after it is nice and steamy...brrrrr! He thinks this is so funny!

Mama found a HUGE bin of legos for a couple dollars at a garage sale. Brock is quite the builder. He is so creative and often brings me things he has created with legos and they look surprisingly like the real thing.

Hiking at Nicene Marks redwood forest. Brock loves trails and hiking!
