We're a little happy to go get birthday Frosties.
And then we went to Petsmart where the birthday boy got to pick out a fish!
It's a good day to be 3!

Almost three!
Tomorrow our bright-eyed busybody tender-hearted Ian will turn 3!
True to his character, Ian requested a monster truck shape, but pink colored cake. So fitting, as Ian is all about being rough and tough on the outside, but inside he's soft and sensitive.
I thanked joe last night for helping me live out my dreams, because without him they would never become a reality. Meaning, i dream up something great, and then he does all the work! No wait, that's not true. I did bake the cakes (not from scratch) and make the chocolate mud frosting (yes from scratch), and then he did all the carving, building, and spreading of frosting. So i dream the dream, do the easy part, then give him the hard part. It's a good system. ;O
The master at work.
Ta da!!!!! It impressed a 3 year at least.
Eating the marshmallow wheels
Eating the headlights
Playing with presents. Shhh, he doesn't know it's a bagful of used toys from Goodwill. They are treasures to him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN JAMES, We love you!!!!!!!!!!
9 Months,
Me? No way.
Wish i would have put some make-up on or ran a brush through my hair but dang, my kid is cute.
Soooo, who wants to come love on me in say, five days?
That's right. My Aunt Becky does.

I am so far behind.
Remembering summer....
Air Show! I sadly stayed home with wiggly baby while boys hitched up the trailer and park alongside the highway to watch the jets zip and zoom and fly to the moon!
Booger intermission
It was crazy hot that day if you can't already tell by the gallons of water Ian's been drinking!
Trying to stay cool or incoming missile? Hard to tell.

It's the little things
Boys are awesome. Sometimes the highlight of a day can be something as simple as Grandpa's truck.
Yumm.

Take it Back
No one makes a liar out you better than a baby. Well, kids too actually. Whenever i say that one of my children always does this or never does this, or doesn't like this or is in love with that, they turn right around and do the opposite. Happens all the time. Don't put ME into a box woman, you haven't got me pegged yet!
-In light of this, please ignore my last post when i said Oliver doesn't like to sit. It was immediately after that he just decided he would enjoy sitting. He'll go straight from standing, plop his bum down and play contently with whatever he's got at the time. My brain, so programmed by now to begin looking for him crawling at lightning speed down the hall is jolted when i realize he's still in the same place, just in a different position. So weird.
-And the part about him not saying anything, that's incorrect now too. He woke up Saturday morning and no joke, just spewed out a mouthful of sounds and babble that we had never heard from him ever before. Aaaaaand of course da da was one of them. Good job joe, you're 3 for 3. All the boys have said that before ma ma. I LOVE his new little language now, joey thinks it's hilarious. Probably because it's cute, but mostly i think because i make up things that he's saying. I can't help it now that i'm addicted to this one guy's videos on YouTube. Because he puts captions under all his baby's babble, i can't help but hear Oliver say crazy things when he's "talking". If i had time to waste, i would probably sit and watch their videos til i've seen them all. They are awesome.
-He doesn't like getting his teeth brushed anymore. And i forgot to mention the one pureed food he WILL eat is sweet potatoes. Winter squash, eh, it's edible. Mac 'n cheese, bring it on.
-Oh and he wanted to make sure i lied about the water thing too. He likes it now when i hold my finger on one end of a straw with some water in it, then he kinda sucks it out as i release my finger.
-Still sucks his thumb to go to sleep, that better not change any time soon.
And since i don't have any pics or videos of my own to share, please enjoy this. Try not to watch a ton of their videos. I dare ya.

Drama
The last couple nights there were 3 out of the 5 of us crying, and both times one of those people was me.
