Happy Birthday My Baby Boy!

He was a little aprehensive about the candle
It took a while...
But finally he got messy!
He made me laugh that he actually pointed to the present
when I was taking the picture.
Oh man so my baby finally turned one on Wednesday! I can't believe that it was only a year ago that he came into our lives and turned everything upside-down! He's such a handful! But when he smiles at you or gets excited it's totally worth it!!! But it's so true that it is so different and hard going from two to three kids. It's seriously like night and day! But like every other trial in your life it will either make you or break you. In this case it made our family that much stronger! It's a strength for sure of our family and our marriage that me and Chris take things in stride and adapt to things so easily! Anything that seems to come up that seems unbearable in the beginning (which is the case when I found out number 3 was coming) we always manage to figure out how to make it work (after we finally are able to wrap our heads around it). And now I truly cant imagine our life without the three of them! And weirdly I tell everyone that asks that while we didn't plan it this way if we had to do it over again we'd do it the same exact way! I know that's crazy but it's true! Anyway Landon's birthday was great although it was absent their grandparents...I'm sure there will be a celebration at a later time. I just made a little cake for him and got him a little present which Carson loves more than him! But thank you to all you that called and sent him gifts that was great! He really is growing up though. He's getting more teeth, he's starting to walk a little and he's really aware of what's going on around him. He really makes me laugh! But at the same time it reminds me that soon I wont have a baby anymore. They're all growing up so fast! Whatever will I do? Well be sure to check back next week for pics of Lilli's birthday. Oh yea her and Landon are both one now for a whole week!

Three for us has been an incredible blessing as well-- something I did not expect. I have learned (and am learning) more than I ever imagined. We really feel like a FAMILY more than ever. It is so fun to read your blog! I'm sad we couldn't get together while you were out here! Keep the posts coming!

Super Funny Kids Quotes!

New Quotes.:

I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."

Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"

I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)

On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"

We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)

We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."

When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)

We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
