The Big Day

Happy 3rd Birthday James!

I know, I know, everybody always says the same thing, but . . . I can't believe my little baby boy is THREE!!! November 21st, 3 years ago our sweet James joined our family and it hasn't been the same since!
He is such a sweetheart and has made us smile from day one!


I will always remember feeling what an amazing spirit you were even as a teeny-tiny baby. You always try to make people laugh and you are so loving.


You have always been so content with simple things - just being outside, a small bouncy ball, or cuddling with mommy!


You have a fantastic imagination and love to "change character" daily (batman, superman, peter pan, captain hook, pirate, kywauker (luke skywalker), monsters, or daddy are your favorites right now).










We celebrated James' birthday on Monday and I apparently didn't get any great shots so I will try again tomorrow. We opened presents, played with balloons and had ice cream cake for dessert. He really loved being the special one for a day! What a cutie.


We love you James!

Off with the Old

Old Couch




New Couch



After being married for eight years, we decided it was time to upgrade and purchase a new couch! We are ever grateful for the years that we were able to spend with Grandpa and Grandma's hand-me-down, but it is now time for it to serve in a different happy home. Hoorah for us!

Tagged

Ok, Ok, I'll do the tag. I had to post the 4th picture in my 4th picture file or something like that, so here it is. I love primary! This was a picture we took in April. Don't really know why my folders are organized the way they are but it works for me! I'll tag: Lara Brown, Jen Seeley, and Lisa A.

Fort McJorgensen

My kids absolutely love mopping day because I put all of my kitchen chairs into the family room and they get to make a "fort" out of them. It makes a mess of our front room, but they totally love it! It brings back memories of turning our kitchen chairs growing up into a long "choo choo train." Anyway, so my kids are really good at making forts now. The other day they developed a new base for their fort - Annabelle's saucer, and just thought it was so great. So here's a picture. Oh, and my new curtain is in the background. :)

The Sweetest Thing

 

 

 

Annabelle is 4 months now! She is always so happy and she just makes us all smile! We went in for a check-up and she weighs 12 lbs! I took these sweet pictures yesterday and had to share.
