All of a sudden James turned 3. It seemed to come out of left field for me. I can't believe he is that old. He is definitely all boy too. He is not happy unless he's antagonizing his brother or sister and is very calculating on what will bug them the most. You can see the wheels turning in his head as he's trying to figure out what will get him the most bang for his buck. The little guy thinks it's the funniest thing ever to get them as mad as possible. We love him though and he definitely keeps our family hopping.
We went out for ice cream for his birthday to Cold Stone and enjoyed our time out. When we got home he opened his gifts from us. He got a hot wheel set, puzzles, Nascar jacket, and skates. He has played with and worn everything already. We were going to have his family party on Saturday but due to Benji getting swine flu had to cancel it until another time. He seems to have had a great birthday anyway.
Happy Birthday James! We love you!

The Month of September - Came and Went!
As always, life is crazy and who ever has time for themselves much less to update things. Yes, this is another way that I am a slacker. The month of September seems to have flown by but not without celebrating a few milestones.
Ryan and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary this month. I can't believe it has been 10 years! The time has really flown by and I don't feel like I'm old enough to be married for that long yet. The last 10 years has been a rollercoaster of different trials, tribulations, and triumphs and I wouldn't change it for anything. I was excited to hit this milestone but Ryan wasn't as excited as I was. When I brought this to his attention, he told me that the only thing that matters is eternity. He is absolutely right and I am glad he is looking at the big picture but I still like making a big deal about the little milestones that get us to that ultimate goal! I look forward to the many years, decades, centuries, etc that are left to go.
I celebrated my birthday this month also. We usually don't do a lot for our birthdays but decided to take the kids to Cornbellys at Thanksgiving Point this year. We had a lot of fun. The kids liked the pig races, the big slides, tractor train, dressing up as a princess and knights, etc. We were there for a good 3 hours and the kids still didn't want to leave when it was time to go. We will definitely be going there again next year. The best part for Ryan and I was being able to watch the kids have so much fun. It is fun to take a few minutes and just enjoy watching your kids be kids and looking at things through their eyes. You see things in a whole new light. I need to take those moments more often to appreciate life like they do.
