Happy 3rd Birthday Jaimen

Jaimen,
I can't believe its been 3 years today that I was holding a beautiful newborn baby boy in my arms. Though we've had our fair share of tantrums, both you and I, it has been the best 3 years. Your laugh is contagious, and so is your smile. I never dreamt of someone so pure, so wonderful, so like me & your dad :) There is so much I love about you, so here's a little list

• I love the way you tell me you love me so so so much, and when you say it for no reason at all.
• I love when you come in and cuddle with me in the morning.
• I love that you love your daddy and Presley so so much.
• I love your smile, and your big cheesy face, that you only pull when me or dad gets the camera out.
• I love the way you say basagna instead of lasagna or gamato instead of tomato.
• I love when you get off the phone you say love you, bye, every single time. Sometimes its love you garbage can/recycling bin. (Not sure where you got this, but its hilarious)
• I love when we get home each day you go straight to your room to put your things away without being told.
• I love that your a 'big boy' and go potty, and have since Dec. 26th. Of course with a 'few' accidents here and there.
  
• I love when you pick two different toys to sleep with each night. Tonight it is the basketball and the monster-truck you got for your birthday.
• I love that you love to be tickled, softly. "Tickle my back, tickle my feets, tickle my arms." Oh and I love that you love to tickle back.
• I love that you are such a sweet soul, who loves to be his own person, even though you don't quite know who that may be.
• I love that you picked me a flower today, and you carried it around with you all day long.

There are so many things I love about you, but most of all I love you so so so so so much, to the moon, to the stars, to the sky and beyond. I love you more than you will ever know.
Jaimen when I look at you, I am happy, I am full, and I am content because you are you and know one else.
Thank you Jaimen for picking to be a part of our family, we are so blessed.

I love you!

Happy Birthday!

Love,
Momma

She's a natural

Alan said the first thing she did when he got on with her was grab the handlebars and started laughing...

I think we are in trouble.

She was smiling from ear to ear the entire time she was on the bike :)
Not sure what Alan is doing?? I think he thought they were going real fast in the back of the truck :) silly man

Oh and the boy is not such a natural at this...

There are about 10 pictures that Jaimen took while I was changing Presley.
The others include me in my bra and jeans, not posting, sorry, some fuzzy carpet, and fuzzy eyeballs.
I have to say Alan does not ever wear those 'wife-beater' tank tops, we were getting ready for family pictures and we thought it would be funny if Alan showed up in one... it was.

Interview of a 3 year old

Here is a fun interview I did with Jaimen this evening. I advise on NOT interviewing a 3 year old, unless you want the same answers over and over again.
We had fun, I laughed, and I hope you enjoy Jaimen's interview about Mom.


1. What is something mom always says to you?
um....MOM!

2. What makes me happy?
me

3. What makes mom sad?
me (this is not so)

4. How does your mom make you laugh?
chase me

5. What was your mom like as a child
me child

6. How old is your mom?
2

7. How tall is your mom?
BIG

8. What is her favorite thing to do?
special (???)

9. What does your mom do when your not around?
laughs (yes sometimes Jaimen, in that tricky high pitched witch laugh. hehehe)

10. What is your mom very good at?
(he refused to answer, maybe because the answer is not much)

11. If mom becomes famous what would it be for?
um... famous! (I'm gonna guess he has no clue what 'famous' is)

12. What is your mom not very good at?
(again no answer, to many to think of?)

13. What does your mom do for her job?
work

14. What is your mom favorite food?
mine

15. What makes you proud of your mom?
make me proud

16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
Ice Age

17. What do you and your mom do together?
Ice Age

18. How are you and your mom the same?
Ice Age

19. How are you and your mom different?
I'm different

20. How do you know your mom loves you?
no one

Okay so can you see why it might not be a good idea to interview a 3 year old? Or maybe I should have tried when he wasn't running around me for the 100th time in a row, or jumping over the pillows he made into "BIG JUMPS"

Another Contest

I entered Presley in Gerber's Cutest Baby Contest.
I know 2 contests in 1 month?
I must be crazy.

Or...
I just know Presely IS the cutest baby, and everyone else MUST know too.

Here is the link to go VOTE

(oh and this time I used a better picture)

Water Fun

We have been having a ton of fun boating, and swimming in this HOT weather, here are a few pics of us enjoying ourselves!


Jaimen loves boating, he says "Dad, do BIG wheelie!"

Click on this picture, look at her smile, I have never seen it bigger

I don't think she is enjoying herself as much as her brother, wouldn't you say?

Baby Contest

For those of you that didn't get my mass text to vote for Presley in the Standard Examiner's Baby Photo Contest...

Vote for her by texting BABY 52 to 801-513-8855. You can only vote once from each cell number, so if your my real friend you'll steal your other friends phones and text a vote from their phones as well :)

I am not super happy about the way the picture turned out once sent to them, then minimized to thumbnail size in the paper, the coloring is all wrong. There are so many other pictures of her that I love more. But you all know what is true and that is that Presley is the Cutest Baby Ever!

So

Go

Vote!

oh and here is a link in case you really want to see the other not so cute babies she is up against, there are like 600!

I should have submitted this picture...

or this one...



maybe this one


what about this one? just look at her chubbiness, its sooooo cute. I want to eat her up


Anywhoo she IS the cutest in any picture, so it wouldn't have mattered what picture I submitted.
