More Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to the best hubby & Daddy EVER!

Look Who's ONE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES!!!!!!It seems like just yesterday that Sweet Baby James was born. He is such a joy to have in our family. I can't get enough of him. He is the happiest little guy with the most amazing and infectious smile! How can so much personality be bundled into such a small little body?

Here he is in the hospital... day one!

Sooooo sweet!

The big sister...
The big brother...
He couldn't be more loved!

James at the beach...
and going for a hike...
Here he is... the big birthday boy!

(James is 15 pounds and 28" tall)This is James with the present the kids picked out for him. I thought it was cute that they are the same size.James can't have cake yet, so he just had some chocolate ice cream instead. He loved the taste, but didn't want to touch the freezing cold stuff with his hands, and who could blame him? That's better!!! We love you James!!!!!

"U" is for Uncle...Clayton

Every week, in Kindergarten, Garett and his class study one letter of the alphabet. On Thursday they can bring something to share that begins with that letter. This past week they were learning about the letter "U." Garett discussed with us the different things he could bring. Umbrellas, ukelele, unicorns, etc. Here's how the rest of the conversation went:

Garett: How about Uncle?

Daddy: Do you think we should call Uncle Clayton and have him come over for Show-n-tell?
Garett: No.... that would probably take too long.

So instead we found this picture and he shared it at school. He told the class that this was his Uncle Clayton and he lived in Utah. So cute! His teacher asked him some questions about where they were in the picture and what they were doing. He proudly told them they were at Tahoe on a ski trip.His teacher was very impressed that Garett can ski! As he went to sit down, she said "Did anyone else bring their Uncle in their backpack?" He sure loves his Uncle Clayton!
