I Have a Boyfriend

His name is Christian.

He's turning 3 TODAY!

We celebrated Saturday with pizza, cake, ice cream, family and friends.

Christian had a BLAST!

He loved that it was his day, especially after watching the girls have their turn twice each the week before (actual birthdays and friends parties).

He woke up last Wednesday - Morgan's birthday - and I told him it was her birthday. He said, "No. It's MY birthday. Morgan already had one."

So to celebrate HIM was such a treat for my sweet little boyfriend.

We had a Shouka birthday cake because Christian absolutely loves watching our video footage of Shouka the whale from Six Flags a couple summers ago.

Devils Food Chocolate with Melissa's Buttercream Frosting. YUM!

This was the absolute sweetest: When we sang Happy Birthday to Christian, he sang along... but instead of singing the lyrics, "Happy Birthday to you...", he replaced "you" with "me". Watch his lips. It's the cutest thing. I sure love this little boy. (Can you tell?)

Christian and Tyson cracking up over something very funny.

Since it was his special day, I smiled and took photos of him sticking his finger into the frosting and licking it... repeatedly. After his friends started doing the same (which I thought was dang cute and got a video of) Martin decided it probably wasn't the best idea since we'd be serving the cake to our guests within minutes. Party Pooper!

Aunt Carly and Grandma Sally came down to celebrate, too! We sure loved having you guys here. The party was a PARTY because you were there.

Time for presents. I love how intent Christian and Tyson are.

YAY! A tractor from Grandpa Clyde!

Never seeing this dog before, he opened it up and exclaimed, "MY DOGGY!!" as if his long lost friend had returned. Thank you Kylie Rose and family. He loves his new pal!

Christian and Mr. Bennett - Cute Cousins that could really pass as brothers, if you ask me.

Morgan and Julianna

So Lillie absolutely loves my sister. It is soooo funny how much she loves her. She even coerced Carly into playing "Troll" in the playground. Carly, you made such a lovely Troll.

Paige, Lauren and Liv

The gang!

Tonya said...: Your little boy is a cutie! I to noticed the continuous poking on his cheek while he sand happy birthday to himself. So funny! I love that you let him and his friends dig into the frosting. That makes you a cool Mom, but I do have to agree with Martin that it was probably time to stop. Just smooth that frosting over and nobody ever has to know that they were eating little kid spit

{June 2013} Watching her favorite movie Lemonade Mouth, Delaney declares she wants to change her name to Stella. I asked her if I should start now calling her "Stella"? "No", she decided... "I'll change my name when I'm older."

{October 2012} Christian age 6 "My teacher says we can't pick our boogers. That sucks!"

{September 2012} Delaney age 4 "Thank you for making a real dinner, Mommy."

{September 2012} Morgan age 13 "I want to marry a Canadian with an Irish accent."

{May 2012} As Christian went to fetch popsicles for our sore throats, Delaney exclaimed, "Bubba's a good man!"

{December 2011} Delaney: My sexy and my know it!

{August 2011}

Christian said to Delaney, "I love you so much. Don't grow up!"

Delaney responds with panic in her voice, "I not BLOW up!!"

{April 2011}

Delaney pronounces her v's as b's, so TV is TB, movie is moobie...

{April 2011}

Morgan - "My sandwich broke in half so I had to tape it back together with peanut butter."

{April 2011}

Morgan - There's smart and then there's MORGAN smart!"

{May 2010}

Delaney pronounces "Morgan" as "Middy"... cute! Olivia was making fun of it relating "Middy" to "MEDIEVAL" emphasis on the EVIL. Morgan struck back by saying, "At least I'm MID-evil and not FULL-evil!"

{April 2010}

Christian's prayer today had these two sweet phrases in it: "Bless Delaney to laugh and to hug me" and "Bless Jesus Christ to love us."

{March 2010}

Morgan: Mom, what's the hardest job in the world?

Mom: Being a mom.

Morgan: Oh. I thought it was being the President of the United States' wife.

{March 2010}

Christian refers to Delaney as "Cutie Queen"

{January 2010}

I was saying Morgan smelled like gardenias... but she corrected me saying that was Olivia's flower - hers was Pomeranian!!! LOL (she meant plumeria!)

{December 2009}

Christian: "Mom, can I get some help in here??"

Me: "What do you need?"

Christian: "YOU!"

Christian {December 2009}

Yelling out the open window to cars driving down the road: "Cars. Why are driving? Are you going home? Hey car! See you later."

Carly {November 2009}

After being taught the phrase, "That's what she said!", Carly mistakenly said, "She said that!" instead.

LOL

Not the same effect, unfortunately.

Christian {October 2009}
Buckling into our seats on the Star Tours ride in Disneyland, Christian ever so casually asked me, "Am I going to die?"

Grandma Sally {September 2009}
Mom and I were sitting at dinner one night chatting about shoes. She was trying to remember the name of a specific brand... it went a little something like this:
Grandma Sally: What are those shoes called? They're plastic. Gators?
Rachel: Crocs??
Gators... Crocs... same same, right?

On our walk one afternoon looking up at the sky, we see the moon. It was a half moon... and Christian's response was, "It's BROKEN??"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I made brown rice with dinner one night and added a bit too much water, making the rice very sticky. Martin commented that it's okay that way... the more water in it helps it to digest faster in our systems. Morgan commented, "Oh. That's why pee comes before poo!"

Olivia {Jan. 2009}
Morgan made a comment about Indians (Native Americans) and Olivia corrected her by saying, "Morgan, Indians are from India. Native Americans are the ones with the feathers right here". (right here was demonstrated with two fingers over her head.) Good thing she corrected her politically incorrect sister!

Christian {Jan. 2009}
"Dis is bewy good! Dis is bewy bewy yummy in my tummy!"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
Referring to a person of Hispanic origin: "Spanishkin"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I asked Morgan to get the Quaker oats from the pantry. Not knowing what exactly I was talking about, she asked, "Is it the can with the English man on it?" We laughed at that comment... so to correct herself, she asked, "Or is it Lewis or Clark??"

Morgan {Dec. 2008}

Wanted to go home from church early because she was SORE from playing the Wii!!! Martin calls her whining "WiiWaaaaaa".
