Tyler turns 3!

Ready to go!

Playing the instruments at the Museum

Opening Presents! Allie wants to help.

I can't believe Tyler's 3rd birthday came and went. Three is an interesting age! I love the language they have and their ability to understand things more in depth. Tyler is hilarious to listen to on the phone. But along with all that comes sassiness! Oh my! It is totally killing me. He gets something in his head and just annoys me until we do it.

We went to the Minnesota Children's Museum for Tyler's birthday. It was so great. It is in downtown St Paul. That is only about a 15 min drive from where we live. Their new exhibit is dinosaurs. There were tons of hand on activities. Both kids enjoyed looking for fossils and roaring with the big dinos. They also have an area that is set up like a little town. You can grocery shop, deliver mail, cook at a restuarant and make your own music video. I think this is the best children's museum I have been to so far. If you are ever in the Twin Cities, definitely check it out. We are going to try out the Minnesota Science Museum this month. It will be cool to see real dinosaur bones.

Tyler rounded out his birthday with a Thomas the Train cake and present opening. He really wants to wear his new shorts from Grandpa and Grandma but it is definitely too cold for that. I am begging for a day over 30 degrees sometime soon. Tyler has worn his Jayhawk sweatsuit from Nana and Papa nearly every day since his birthday. That's my boy!
