Christian Turns 2!!

We had a big, wild party at Jungle Jim's Playland (30+ people)! The kids loved all the rides and games. Christian sure has a lot of family and friends who love him! He loved his "choo choo" cake (isn't it darling) and it was a train birthday for sure - he made a haul on Thomas stuff! We can't believe our baby is already 2! Such a fun celebration...

Christian is IT!!

Christian was tagged by his girlfriend Olivia so here are 10 things we love about Christian...

1. He loves singing nursery rhymes, especially in the car...he'll belt out BINGO, No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, E-I-E-I-O and he wants us to sing too and then yells, "Again Mom, Again!" It's too cute!
2. He has a stuffed bunny that says the "Child's Prayer" when you squeeze it. He came out of his room with it, folding his arms then when it finished, he proudly exclaimed, "Amen" and then played it over and over again.
3. He has a tender heart like his Daddy. If you get mad or even raise your voice at him, he gets a big pouty lip and his eyes well up with tears and he wants you to console him, it's really sweet.
4. He loves to help Daddy with yard work or fix things, as soon as Troy gets out the lawn mower or a screw driver, Christian runs to get his and help Daddy...then he shouts "I did it!" or "Daddy fixed it!"
5. He's obsessed with playing all sports, anything with a ball he can hit, throw or catch (and he's quite good). He'll even watch ESPN with Daddy and tell him what he's in the mood for "Baseball, Golf, "Hoopball" or even Hockey on occasion.
6. He likes to copy mom too but when I try to tell him that curlers and nail polish are only for girls, he gets pretty upset! :)
7. He points out all the churches we see when we're driving - "there's a church!" and then "bye bye church" as we pass it.
8. He adores his cousins and aunts, whenever we ask him what he wants to do today, he gets excited and shouts "see Bob & Nat" (cousin Braxton & aunt Nat) or "Kiley & I I (his nickname for cousing Irelyn). He's lucky to have so many cousins close by.
9. He's obsessed with "choo choo trains" and has to take at least 2 with him everywhere we go.
10. He entertains us daily with the cute things he says - he talks so well now - and all the funny things he does. He's all boy and already has strong opinions on what he wants to wear, eat and do. His little brother is going to have a lot of competition!

Happy Anniversary Today!

You gotta love the dip and kiss shot...memories from an amazing day in our lives...4/8/2005.
To celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary, we had a romantic stay at the Zermatt Resort & Spa in Midway Saturday night. We started our evening with a fabulous couples massage (I highly recommend their spa) then we had a fancy dinner and rented a chick flick in bed (OK, only after Troy made me watch the rest of the college basketball game but it was a good compromise). Then we enjoyed breakfast in bed Sunday morning before heading out. It was such a nice getaway and much-needed break from our kido (thanks to my mom). It's hard to believe we've only been married for 3 years since we dated forever. It's been a great ride so far and we're looking forward to many more anniversaries to come...
