Lexi practiced her walking skills with her daddy,
and her sliding skills with me
Kyle had to go back to work. The kids and I went to the dollar store, and they each picked out a balloon. Kylie picked a princess one, and Carson picked a Mickey Mouse one. His didn't even make it to the car. He likes to watch them fly. I did inform him ahead of time, that I would not replace his balloon if he let it go.We then went to pick up their birthday cakes. I had ordered them over a month ago. Kylie wanted a "Snow and White cake" (I think it is so cute that she says it like that......too cute to correct). Carson asked for a train cake. I tried finding ideas on how to make them myself, but for the sake of time, and my lack of cake skills, I decided to order them=)
The weather was pretty warm yesterday, and when I got home.....Kylie's cake looked like this.....
Oh, man. I was a little bummed, because I paid pretty good money for these cakes, and I didn't want Kylie to get upset about it. I pulled out some skewers, and started going to town sticking parts back on. It was kind of funny, yet stressful all at the same time. The middle peak was starting to lean, so it got skewered also. ha.ha. I think over all, I did a pretty good patch job!
Carson's cake turned out really cute, it handled the car ride and the heat perfectly. He was very happy and excited about it.
Party time! We had a super fun birthday party. We had a great turn out. I am so thankful to everyone who came to celebrate this special day with us, especially since we don't have a lot of family close by. I am also thankful for all the cards, and phone calls. It made their day extra special. The kids loved playing with their friends and on the new swing set, even Lexi likes to climb up the slide. 
Here is grammy loving on my birthday boy!
And finally, the time came for presents. Carson had been waiting all day long for this moment. I told him he had to wait for his friends to get there, before he could open them. As soon as the first guest arrived, he ran over and ripped open a present. I guess I needed to be a little more specific about when he could open them. So he then had to wait until after we all ate our pizza and salad! Kylie was very patient. She even took the time to fold her clothes after she opened them, and put them back in the bag nicely.
One little kid got a present that was for both of them. It was wrapped in half girly paper, and half boy wrapping paper. Smart little girl!
Everyone thought Kyle was crazy for holding the pinata (in fear that he would get whacked with the bat), but I was one step ahead, and got the pull string kind.........no bat necessary=) 
These kids were like vultures when the candy started dropping. It was pretty funny, they had no mercy for one another.
Carson first blew out his candles before we sang, so he got to do it twice.
And here is my princess blowing out her burning castle! She had some help from her little friends. We were worried that she would blow over the tower too, since the cake had seen better days.ha.ha
Carson was thrilled to have an operating train again. His old one has been broken for a while, so he would just move them along the track with his hands. 
Kylie loved getting her Snow and White doll set. She can change her into different pretty dresses. The clothes are rubbery........kind of cool.
And here I am with my birthday twins. I had to change out of my party clothes, because Lexi had a sugar overload and threw up all over me=0) She is kind of like a little vacuum, and sweeps all the candy off floor, and eats it. ha.ha.
And my little buddy crashed hard, when we put him in his bed. He didn't let go of his new toy though=0)
Kylie was still awake when I checked on her. She had her purse full of treats and her new lip gloss. When I peeked in on her, she was eating some sweethearts. Since it was her birthday, I didn't make her brush her teeth again. There are definitely some advantages to being the birthday girl!

I must admit....Kyle and I were exhausted at the end of the day too. It is a lot of work throwing a fun birthday party. Knowing that the twins had a wonderful day, made it all worth it though. Some great and funny things they learned/did at age 3.................They both know how to spell their name. Not write it, but spell it. A few months ago I asked Kylie to spell her name while she was busy playing. She said K-Y-L-MNOP. It was very funny! Carson had just learned to dress himself, he occasionally needs assistance. I still pick out the clothes, because I do like them to match. He was putting on his new birthday shirt and the top button was not undone. He said " ahh, it's dark in here" ha.ha.ha. Kylie has mastered getting herself dressed. Carson was sick last month and he told me that he had a "lightning storm" in his tummy. He calls an elevator and "alligator" and it is just one of those things that is too cute to correct. I find myself calling it an alligator too, and I also call Snow White....Snow and White. Kylie is really good with her computer. She is amazing at the letter search. I am so proud of her. Carson can make the coolest train out of his building blocks. He did this all by himself, and I was more than impressed. I will post a picture of it soon. These are just a few of the awesome things that they do each day. They are so close to each other, which makes us happy......I hope they remain that way forever. They make me laugh every day which I am so thankful for ! They are my little side kicks. Even though it is sad to see them grow so fast, it is so exciting at the same time. They LOVE to see and learn new things, so the excited feeling I have rise above the sadness of them growing so fast. Kylie told me a few months ago, that as soon as she turned four, she would be able to drive. Thankfully that is not the case......I am definitely not ready for that yet! ha.ha.
The kids also received hula hoops for their birthday.....they call them "hoopa loops" That is way cooler then the traditional name.
