Happy Birthday James

Today is my little James-er's birthday. He is getting so big. He is so excited to finally be 3. This morning when I went into his room to wake him up/sing to him he said "mom, it's not my birthday yet cause I'm not bigger". I think he really thought he was going to noticeably grow over night. He is so funny sometimes.
Here are some things I LOVE about my little guy.

• I love that he will come and give me a hug or kiss if it is needed
• He has been fully potty trained for quite some time. He even keeps his pants dry all night
• He loves to talk any one's ear off about Lord of the Rings, Harry & Potter (I know this is wrong wording but, this is what he calls it) and now Wolverine. We are going to be watching Spider-man tonight. Can't wait to hear all about this for the next week.
• Loves to play outside with his sister
• He use to LOVE going to Nursery up until this last Sunday. He thought he was going to wait for us in the car (all 3 hours). Then he had to go potty just before Sacrament meeting got over and he spent about 10 minutes in the bathroom cause he knew it was almost time to go to Nursery. (gotta love getting new leaders) I am hoping and praying next week is better
• Loves to wrestle his sister and baby brother. I have to watch him close cause Duncan is still little. Pretty soon I am going to have to watch so Duncan doesn't hurt him. I know this is going to be a sad day for James when Duncan can beat him up. Duncan is so tough.
• Loves to go on four-wheeler rides by the river is the favorite place to go
  
• Is very loyal, if we need help with something then he will stick with us and help until the job is done
• LOVES, LOVES, LOVES tools (maybe next years birthday present)
  
• Still a little stubborn. Do they ever grow out of this?!?

You make me smile everyday! Thanks for choosing us to be your parents! We sure love having you around James!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!

2010 Fair

I know I am way past due with this post but, better late than never. As you can see we went to the Clark County Fair and because we had 5 kids to haul around...lets just say we spent the day at the carnival rides. No shows watched :( No livestock building :( No fair food :( I know, I know! This is not normal, none the less we still had fun! :)

Easter baby!

we were just playing around but, I thought they turned out cute!

Kids and Holidays

Having kids makes celebrating Holidays much more fun! EASTER was so much fun this year. Brandon was awake and ready probably an hour before any of the kids were up. I always say he is my 4th child. He is going to keep me young at heart!
The kids were very happy with what the Easter bunny left. They all got Shoes. Dantzel and James even received new digital CAMERA'S. Yep, Brandon did a little shopping on EBAY and Dantzel's dream came true. Her camera is PINK with a PINK case none the less. She didn't know how to react, she was so surprised. James received a GREEN camera with a BLUE case. I'm sure this made him feel as big as his sister. Since Easter I have had lots and lots of pictures taken of me. Too bad half of them are of my butt! Poor kids (or should I say poor me) this is obviously their eye level. I will have to post pictures of my new little photographers work. Maybe on another post.

Hope you all had a great Easter.
