I can't believe my baby boy is two years old today! He has grown from our 8lb preemie who loved the cuddles of his brothers to a determined little boy who wants to do everything they do! It's such a joy to watch him blossom into his own personality.
It was especially sweet to watch his excitement over his birthday. This year he understood that this was a special day all about him! As soon as he woke up, his brothers showered him with attention and birthday blessings. He excitedly chattered all morning "It my burtday!" He was very excited as we put up birthday decorations and kept singing Happy Birthday to himself.
James' favorite thing to do is play outside, so we spent a big part of the day doing just that! We were blessed with perfect Fall weather, and a bounty of colorful leaves on the ground to enjoy!
What could be more fun than a tractor cake for a boy who loves to watch tractors?
He quickly figured out that opening presents is not only fun, but rather rewarding as well! Such fun to pull brightly colored paper from the bags! It was also really neat to see his brothers excited to give him their presents. Joshua picked a special bear from his bear collection and Jacob a dog from his dog collection. Joseph gave him "nannies" with monkeys (because Joseph loves monkeys!).
Happy birthday little James!

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
