Party!

The cake! When I brought this home- everytime Jason would stand on a chair to look at it, he'd let out a squeel of excitement as if it were a surprise to see it every time!! So funny!

About to sing!


Too many presents... he loves every one of them!

Jason's Birthday

Jason was born June 8th 2007. On his actual birthday we opened presents at 6am, and had cake and icecream for breakfast (it's tradition now) before Daddy headed off to work. Grandma, Dave and Aunt Amy came over with some food for a cookout, and literally a million gifts... way too many. He got some of his favorites this day including a new train track set and a sandbox! Here are a few pics of the morning...

Stats

These babies are growing so fast these days... Here are their most recent stats from yesterday...

Jason 3yrs:
32lbs (50th %)
38.5in (75%)

Lexie 10 months:
24lbs 14oz (97%)
30.25in (97%)

JASON IS 3

I can't believe my baby is 3 years old now! I like to jot down a few things to remember how he is at this age...

The biggest change from last year, is how well he can talk now. He talks about everything, and plays pretend so cute. He's very smart. One night during dinner he was telling us someone was at the door. We didn't understand what he was saying, and told him to say it differently. He went down to the playroom, and found a puzzle with a zebra on it to show us what he was saying. He was telling us there was a zebra at the door! So cute!

Jason loves to do puzzles... and he is better at them then me. He has three, "life size," 50ish piece puzzles that he can do all by himself- so impressive.

He is very into trains at the moment, especially Thomas and friends.

I love that when he says "I love you"... he says "you" twice... "Me love you you Mommy." I think he does it because he includes you in phrases where it doesn't belong, like "Me love you my life so big"... and he always says "me" instead of "I."

When he wants Lexie to lay down next to him or something he tells us to knock her over.. haha... or he just does it himself... not so funny.

Jason still prefers to drink warm milk to anything else, and usually asks for it with a lid.

He always sleeps with blankie, and lately his toy bunny too. Ever since he started to see bunnies in our yard, he found one he got for Easter and includes it in everything, including his list of people he loves.

I love that he doesn't necessarily like most foods we give him, but he will always try everything, and choke things down if we ask him to. I was so excited a few months ago when he started to eat salad!

He wants to be reassured about everything by both Mike and I. Whenever one of us tells him something or gives him an anwser, he looks at the other one and says "hear that(mommy/daddy), or else he justs asks us both, even if we are right next to eachother! So cute!

I love when he says his last name, and it sounds like "Trixie!" "Jason Ryan Trixie!"

We love you so much Jason Ryan

Jason is turning 3!!!

No proof

Boy we have been having so much fun lately, and we lost our camera :-( We went to see a real Thomas the train a few weeks ago, and took so many great pictures. I couldn't wait to get home and put them up.... I remember looking at the pictures in the car, but since we got home... nothing... Anyway on top of spending an awesome day in Medina with Grandma and Dave, doing all sorts of activities, including riding on Thomas, we also have been doing a lot of swimmimg.

Lexie LOVES to swim. She kicks and splashes and had such a great time. We have two kiddie pools that we have been able to go out and use almost daily. The weather has been wonderful! I really wish we had pictures of her. She looks so darn cute in her bathing suit, and little sun hat!

Yesterday we packed up the kids, lunch, and Aunt Amy, and headed to a campground/resort on Grand Island. We didn't camp, just got a day pass and hung out at the pool all day. It was so nice!!! I love to go swimming! Jason was pretty scarred, clinging to me like a cat in water, but he enjoyed sitting in the water in the stairs. They also had a giant sandbox, and playground tht Jason loved. Mike and I tried a little volley ball, but it turns out I am a wimp! Lexie once again loved to be in the water... she has a great flostie that worked perfectly for her too. We used tons of sunscreen, and fortunately the kids didn't burn... I got a little on my shoulders, and the top of my forehead... Mike is a lobster, and it looks like Amy is too... atleast the kids were spared! We brought such perfect snacks for the day, and I can't wait to do it again! It was a perfect day for me!!!

We have no proof of these fun days... as our camera is still missing :-( Holding out as long as we can before buying a new one!
