Calvin's Birthday!

We started out the morning with the Albright tradition of ice cream for breakfast!

Calvin's first birthday guest! Aunt Debby stopped by and brought him a cool Tiger visor and M&M's!

Finally! Daddy comes home and the fun can begin!

Legos, legos, and MORE legos!

Calvin has recently dicovered LEGOS. We always played with them when we were little and on our last trip to NC, Calvin found them! A few weeks after we came home I found a little stash in my purse... it was only like 6 blocks, but they kept Calvin entertained forever! He would just take them apart and rebuild them over and over! So... we decided to get some a few more than 6 for his birthday this year! He was very pleased!

He loves to stack! Calvin's wonderful aunts, Laura and Emily, helped make his LEGO cake! Calvin loved it! Opening his present from Grammy and Papa... a LEGO table! How cool!

Calvin had a great LEGO birthday! The table is now full of all kinds of lego pieces! He is a very happy 3-year old!

3 years...

I don't know how this little baby grew up so fast... He is the cutest... the silliest...
happiest...

most handsome little boy we know!
And we cannot imagine life without him! Happy Birthday Calvin! You might be 3 years old, but you are my baby... forever and ever! We love you SO much!

Our Silly Boy

Both Cullen and Calvin wanted to play in the "clubhouse"! How fun!

Happy cousins! I love that they can get along so well! About to add another boy to the bunch! They are going to have so much fun growing up together!

Making brownies for Daddy!

Calvin LOVED to lick the batter!

LOL! I bought him some water guns after he got some shots at his 3 year check up... he is only allowed to shoot them into the tub. Nick and I were sitting on the couch watching t.v. and Calvin was really quiet... this is what we found!

Love this kid!

Calvin has always loved bath time... well except for a brief period where all he worried about were "floaties" aka the fluff from your socks that get stuck in-between your toes and then comes out in the water... but we are over that and now he loves bath time again. Anyway, he has been REALLY good about playing by himself lately... probably because his mom is napping on the couch all day long, but it's a good thing! He has such an imagination! He makes up little songs and creates dialogue with his toys... very cute!

I have TONS of videos like this, but this is the only one that I have downloaded on the computer right now!

This man...

...is amazing.

We just want him to know how much we love him and how much we appreciate EVERYTHING that he does for us. I don't know how he does it with a job, 5 hours of sleep, lax practice, a very pregnant, exhausted wife, and a wild 3 year old, but he manages to keep everything under control. I honestly think that the perfect husband exists, and his name is Nicholas Albright. Calvin, Baby Brother, and I are very blessed to have him.

Thank you, Nicholas, for being so wonderful.

It must be contagious...

I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow... I can't believe it! Well, I can't believe how fast the time went, but I am definitely feeling it! I honestly don't think that I have EVER been this tired and sore in my life!

Unfortunately, I've had trouble sleeping at night so I find myself napping any chance I get during the day! These little cat naps are usually on the couch while Calvin is running around, but he is pretty good at leaving me alone for a while. Sometimes he wakes me up to ask for a fruit snack or movie, but lately I've been waking up from these naps to this...

After moving his blanket I also found this...

He drew ALL over himself with pens and then stuck one in each sock for safe keeping while he slept!

This nap was actually a result of the fever that he had last week. Poor Cal, he was so pitiful. I don't think I have ever seen him as quiet and still as he was that day!

Easter

I was super excited this year to use the "rag" basket that Amy taught me how to make! Calvin loves it!

Happy with his Easter goodies!





I'm not sure what this face is, but it makes me laugh!

North Carolina

I'm so behind on posting. We were in NC last month!

The first thing Calvin asked for at Granny Jo's was...

a popsicle!

Distracting Granny from conference! We distracted Calvin with cartoons...

Took him for a walk and he fell asleep!

Granny and I had to distract Calvin a lot! Calvin LOVES to cut paper into teeny tiny pieces!

He could spend hours cutting paper!

Calvin and Gramps :) Papa used to walk around with Dad on his shoulders and knock on all the doorways 3 times! Calvin and Gramps did this every night... It was very cute!

We were sad to leave, like always, but we will be back this summer for Anna's wedding! Can't wait!!
