James turns 3!

 So back in July, James turned 3! He is getting so big and learning more every single day.  He is more stubborn and willful than ever, along with a good dose of brutally honest, and comes up with some of the funniest things ever to go along with it all.  Quite the character. His new favorite phrase is... "that's odd."  And his faces are as classic as ever. He had the Sister Missionaries in stitches the other night.

Anyway, back in July, this is how we celebrated his big day!

"Blue is my favorite" A very famous James phrase. And so we started out the day with blue chocolate chip pancakes.

He got this fun Green Eggs and Ham game, and was actually quite good at it.  Both the boys had a blast.

We had planned to go to a local lake to go swimming, since James so loved our day at the beach the previous week. Grandma and Grandpa even came over to join us. But when it came time to go, James decided that he did not want to go, but instead wanted to play with the kiddie pool and slip n slide in our backyard. (This is very typical James) And since it was his birthday, we did. But apparently forgot to take pictures.

Opening some presents

This boy loves bubbles!

Sister

And brother helped too

Clearly the best part. :)

Ok, he loved the book too. :)

And finishing it all off with a blue cake.  That was what he wanted. A blue cake. :)

All in all a fun filled day for a fun filled boy. Love you James!
