Happy Birthday sweet Heart!



Can You Believe that I have a three year old!! Oh my gosh!....so crazy. We are so thankful for Holden and the absolute joy he is in our lives. We absolutely adore, and LOVE him more then he will ever know.

(he insisted on the hats)


I hope he had a good day. We tried to make it special for him. We made him breakfast, then took him to the train yard! He thought that was pretty great, considering he is so obsessed! Then Rye took him out on a birthday date to a movie while I got his cake, and the party ready. I promised my kids I would never attempt to make a cake again! I suck so bad, BUT he did love it.. We just had a family party, but it was fun! He LOVED it, and was the cutest little guy. He just kept saying " Oh my DOSH!" (dont like him saying that, but it was cute) We really spoiled him this year. We decided it was time to invest in Tonka, Case, and john dear. now that we will have a yard (quite the investment, so over priced!!) but we knew this day would come, thats what happens when you have boys. We totally raded Cal' Ranch. Oh, and dont forget the trains.I actually looked up the old Tonka trucks, that we ALL used to play with, the good old metal ones, and they go for 70- 180 bucks a truck on ebay!! So if you have some in the family hang on to those bad boys.


Knox was so funny, he is quite the party animal.
On the way to the train yard and in front of a train....

O
Happy Birthday baby boy!

I may of overdone it with all the pictures haha! But Holden goes over his old birthday blogs like a crazy man! He loves his birthdays!

...and it Begins

Holden is officially potty trained......(Hallelujah!!!)
BUT, now I have gotta start dealing with this........

I told him..."At LEAST aim for the grass, bud....Pleeease."
It really must be just a natural instinct for men/boys........nastyness
Note: We live right by the main road

Had to add a picture of the Knoxer! He really is as cute as he looks.

update!

Hello!! .....Ok, so Life has been GOOD!!
So, good..... I lot has happened for us. Rye's transfer date is the 11th of April. So we will move the first week of the month. The good news is we are pretty much all packed... I am so sad to go, yet super exited. I love all the new people in my life, and I love the primary presidency. We through the ward party last night, and I felt like such a "big girl." I have been SOOOOO busy. I have found Being Idle, makes me unhappy, SOOOO I have just put my whole life, every second of the day, into motherhood, my calling, my husband, my running, my crafts, working with Holden a ton(so SMART), making all new picture frames (FUN!) new curtains, refinishing old furniture & whatever else I can do! It is has been fabulous.

Holden is Potty trained only one in diapers now.
Knox has been walking for about 6 weeks now, he now can run, he will not let me put him down... ever.

Well, that's it for now. Here are some pictures I snapped of the baby boy a few weeks ago......He is such a stud baby. Everywhere I go people fall in love with him, especially his hair.....AWWWW, just seeing these pictures of him, makes me want to go, wake him up from his nap, and love him.
