The Bergs: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMAN

Roman's Birthday was Friday. He's officially 3 years old now. Rich took the day off work to make Roman's day even more special. Roman got to open a soccer ball from Daddy, first thing in the morning in bed.

THE CAKE!

Last year I made Roman a Train Cake, so keeping with the tradition of the nontraditional cakes, this year I made Roman a Excavator Cake. Even though Rich insisted that it looked just like the picture in the magazine, I was nervous that Roman would just think it was a cool yellow cake. But sure enough, he knew!

The Best Day

We had a full day planned. Rich packed a picnic that we ate at a small state park near our house. This was the favorite part of my day. Eating food I didn't have to make outside with my beautiful boys.

After lunch we headed to the Kitsap County Fair. As we approached the crowd, loud music, fair rides, Roman got very excited and shouted, "Hey, It's my birthday party!" Rich and I looked at each other, shrugged our shoulders and said "Yeah buddy, its your birthday party!" We are shameless!

The fair was great fun. We spent most of our time in the animal barns. Besides seeing the fair regulars like cows, sheep, and pigs; we saw Ox, Emu, Llama and Roman even petted a Zebra (even though he would not pet a single animal in the "petting zoo").

On the way home from the fair, my second favorite part of the day happened. Both the boys feel asleep in the car! They both took nice long naps for the afternoon. Roman and Daddy finished off the big day with a Friday night swim at the YMCA.

Roman had a GREAT birthday. He's a very very lucky boy! Thanks to all our family and friends for the happy birthday cards, calls, and emails. It really made the day special.

We caught some of the day on video and in pictures. These are some more of our favorites!
