So Saturday was Jimmy's birthday.....43! We had a great weekend. The boys and I made sure we had ourselves organized so that the weekend could be spent hanging out together. Groceries were knocked out Thursday even! We had our usual FNP (Friday Night Pizza night) and Jimmy and I hung out after the boys were down. Saturday morning we were all up early and YAHOO!!! it was finally a bright sunshiny day! Happy Birthday Daddy! When the boys got up we gave Jimmy his presents and cards. He loved the flower pots, the birdhouse and his new Braves shirt!
Normally on Saturday (and Sunday) morning Jimmy makes us all pancakes but earlier in the week we bought tickets for the Richmond Hill High School marching band's pancake breakfast. I shot out the door at 8 and was one of the first to get to Beef O'Bradys. I got our hot pancakes and sausage and was back home with birthday breakfast in 20 minutes! That's my kinda cookin' in the morning!
After breakfast we all headed out for the morning. We planted and played and even ran through the sprinkler. We all had a blast and the boys were dirty and tired by lunchtime. J and Willie quickly ate pizza at the picnic table attached to the pool house and then they napped. Jimmy and I wii'd and hung out. Dinner was steak and asparagus followed by a yummy yellow cake with chocolate icing. Yummy. The boys and I sang happy birthday to Jimmy and he wished and blew the candles out. The boys stayed up late enough to see the moon and then were off to bed. The rest of the night is lost in beer and wii.......
Good day had by all. Happy 43rd birthday to my love. You are an awesome daddy and husband and we cherish every moment we spend with you. Thanks for all the fun!

Happy Birthday baby J!
Today J is 3! I cannot believe it! Happy Birthday to my sweet baby J. We had a wonderful birthday weekend. His party was yesterday (Sunday) and he had an absolute blast. He and William were so exhausted from all the excitement they were in bed by 6:30! He got lots and lots of awesome gifts, he was really getting the hang of tearing open the paper. so cute. He calls the playhouse his pool house. They were right beside the plastic pools at Wal Mart so he figures it's a pool house. How cute is that!?! And the guitar playing and singing last night were amazing. J does a mean Old McDonald....his gobble gobble here, gobble gobble there is untouchable.
It rained all day today so we didn't get to spend the day outside like we planned but we got to play with all the outside toys inside today and he was completely happy with that and a bit of Little Einsteins. J and Willie both had pizza for breakfast. Hey, you only turn 3 one time. If you want pizza for breakfast, you can have it! So we played all day, ran up to Harvey's for another cake mix. J and Willie rode the car two times since it was J's birthday and we got a new ball out of the candy machine. Double score! After dinner J opened up the rest of his gifts from us and was thrilled with the baseball glove. Willie got him some kids cds for the car and for dancing too so that should be fun.
It was a wonderful day. The party was awesome. My boy wanted a choo choo cake and a baseball cake so that's what he got. We had a choo choo cake yesterday and tonight was the baseball cake. They both turned out pretty well, he thought they were awesome. He said "wow mommy, cool!". He blew the candles out tonight without any trouble and was so pleased with himself. He didn't touch the cake though, just every last bit of icing he could find.
He just woke up and had to "pee so bad mommy". He asked about his baseball cake so I let him come and have a lick of icing. How cool is that when you are 3!?
Life with J the last 3 years sure has been amazing, he has brought an unimaginable amount of love and joy into our lives. We are thankful for him. Happy Birthday son!
Dear J,
Today is your 3rd birthday. We had a great day. It was kind of rainy so we only played outside for a little while but we had fun. I know you won't read this for a long long time but I wanted you to know how you were on your 3rd birthday. Your eyes sparkled all day. You wanted pizza for breakfast, lunch and as soon as you woke up from your nap. You loved your baseball cake, well actually you just ate the icing. You and William played with every single one of your new outside toys inside. You, at 3 years old, are a sweet and loving little boy. Daddy and I are completely amazed by your compassion and tenderness to us, to William and to everyone. You love to listen and sing music, and play every instrument you can get your hands on. You love to golf and were thrilled with your new velcro baseball glove. Your brother looks to you with wonder in his eyes and tries to keep up with you as best he can. And, although sometimes he makes you crazy, you never leave him out. You always rush to get him out of bed. Your favorite movies are Curious George, Clifford's Big Red Movie and Little Einsteins. You love black olives on your pizza, any ice cream, any fruit. You don't like crust and you pick a shape for your sandwich. Lately it's been baseballs. You love to feed the ducks and were so excited when they came to our house today. You said they came to say Happy birthday to Me!
You have brought so much love and laughter into my life. I am so very grateful for the blessing of you and William. Your smile lights up my heart. Daddy and I love you very very much and can't wait to watch you grow and grow........Happy 3rd Birthday my sweet baby J.
Love,
Mommy
