Turning 3....

Turning 3 has been SO much fun! The night before my birthday, I got to help my mama make cupcakes. This was the 1st time that I've made cupcakes with mama, so it was special for both of us. When I woke up on my birthday, my mama gave me a new book. It was a birthday book just for me called "Birthday Monsters."

When I got to school, my teacher said that she would read my new book at story time! EVERY time someone walked in the door, I yelled "HEY! IT'S MY BIRFDAY!" At snack time, we got to eat the yummy cupcakes that I made with mama. All of my friends sang Happy Birthday to me (I sang along with them).

When my mama picked me up, we went to a flower store and picked up a present with balloons on it that YaYa sent to me! For supper, my mama made my favorite dinner. She told me that I could have ANYTHING that I wanted (since it was my birthday). I picked a hot dog with macaroni and cheese. After supper, my dada gave me a present. It was my very own fishing pole and tackle box! He said that we could take the canoe and fish together when it gets warmer outside. Right now it is too cold. I went to bed a very happy boy.

The next morning...my mama and dada were pretty busy getting ready for my party. My mama kept saying "I am never having another birthday party at 9 o'clock in the morning!" I don't know why it was such a big deal. Anyway, we FINALLY made it out of the house and headed to Jump N G's! I have been talking about my party at Jump N G's for several months now (ever since I went to my friend KK's party there). Some many great friends came to celebrate with me! We had so much fun jumping, playing, and eating cake and ice cream. Opening my presents was so much fun! My friend Jack was a huge help. My mama couldn't take any pictures because she was so busy. She is waiting on pictures from family and friends so that she can post those too.

I am LOVING trains right now! Here are some pictures of me playing with them.

I got to help my mama make cupcakes to share with my friends at school!

I wonder if she would notice if I snuck some of this yummy batter.

Nevermind...look what she let me do!

School was fun today. I got to be the special birthday boy!

2 and 3/4

My sweet Merrit will be 3 next week! Oh my goodness...it seems like his life is FLYING by. Here is a pic that I took tonight to put on his invitations for his friends at school. Yes...that is how unorganized I am right now. I have sent out all of the cutesy invitations that I ordered and have ran out before I have sent any to his friends at school! So I uploaded a photo to wal-mart and made a card out of it. For a last minute deal...it turned out pretty cute.

Haircuts and Zesus

Thanks to my friend Maribeth, Merrit's haircuts usually go pretty smoothly. However, last week he absolutely did not, under any circumstances, want to get his hair cut. When I told him that we were going to get one, he said, "Mama, I think Minger (Miller) should get one. His hair looks tewible (he doesn't pronounce his r's). " Well...considering that Miller is 3 months old, that was out of the question. He did NOT understand why Minger couldn't get one too. We finally make it to Maribeth's, he's in the chair, and he says, "Mama, Zezus's (Jesus's) hair is willy long." Ha! I was so proud of my little guy for paying attention when we read books about Jesus. He understands and knows SO much more than I give him credit for. Every time he sings a new song, or says a new prayer, my heart overflows with joy. As a working mom, sometimes I feel guilty for taking him to daycare, but I LOVE it that he goes to a Christian environment where he can learn, worship (well, as much as a 3 year old can worship), play with his friends, and talk about Zesus!

1st Post!

This is my 1st ever post! It took me a while to figure out how to do it...and it took forever! These pictures of my boys are in no particular order. I can not figure out how to move them once I upload them. For now...this unorganized post will have to do!
Merrit: turns 3 this month
Miller: 3 1/2 months

My sweet baby Miller

Merrit

This is one of my favorite pictures of Merrit. It was taken by my sister, Alexa, on his 2nd birthday.
