Living Life and Loving It!

Happy Birthday Big Boy!!!
(a little late, i've been working on it)

you came into this world bright eyed and ready to go!

you were the best baby EVER!!  Easy going and happy!

Quick to smile!

and then you turned 1.  it went by crazy fast

 you were a stinker, and you started to be very busy!

and then you became a big brother!  you have been a good big bro!

shortly after that you turned 2!  

this last year has been ALOT of work

as any child you have needed a lot of guidance and  love!

 learning good manners
(he has learned to hold the door open for mommy and wait for everyone to get off the elevator, we are still trying to learn how to share, be kind and not yell at everyone we meet )

 how to be a real cowboy

getting up close and personal with the dinosaurs

look at him, he still looks like a baby-not anymore....

picking up some fishing skills from gramps

he might or might not like being naked

discovered the true love of toys-he LOVES his Woody doll

he learned about snow and how much fun can be had in it!

we went on our first(and possibly our last) car trip!!  He was great but his little sister was less then perfect!

he is a fish!

or maybe a tiger....

or a rocketship...

or maybe it is a cow!

 it is so sad to look back and see how fast you have grown.

ry you are :smart, strong, rough, loud. sassy, happy, grumpy, playful, imaginative, kind, loves to read, picky eater, loves to go go go, all boy, loving, great talker, busy, outgoing, silly, good big brother, funny, charming, messy, potty trained, great sleeper, swimmer, loves animals, cowboy, dominate, trusting, good listener(most of the time), loves to be outside, talkative, smiley, tough, amazing, carefree, the list could go on and on!

ry we love you so much, and thank Heavenly Father everyday that you are part of our family forever.
 you bring so much love and joy into our life along with a lot of learning, growing, and patience.  you are as smart as a whip and amaze me everyday with the things you are able to understand and put into context!  continue to learn and grow, continue to be a happy boy, your sister will be your best friend so treat her the very best you can. 
this year has gone by so fast, can you please slow down and  and stop growing, you are my baby always and forever!
