Happy Birthday Jamie

Jamie is three years old.

Can you believe this sweet baby boy is now the raving lunatic we call Jamie?

At three, Jamie has more energy than mom and dad combined. He loves being outside. He loves helping in the garden and feeding animals. He has placed 4th out of 12 on MarioKart. He loves cars, nerf guns and swords. When he is playing the Wii, his baby sister has to be next to him in her bouncer so she can watch him play. And if mommy doesn't move her there fast enough, Jamie will move her himself. His favorite store is Wal-Mart. He points it out every time we pass and he wakes up in the morning saying he wants to play the cars game (MarioKart) and go to Wal-Mart. He loves to dance. His current favorite song is We will rock by Queen. He can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all by himself. My baby boy is growing to fast.

 Grandma and Grandpa Chipman, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Sara, and Aunt Tahina had gifts for him before we came home this past weekend.

 He got lots of cars, books, and a new nerf gun, much to Daddy's delight.

 He chose waffles and ice cream for his birthday breakfast.

 When it was time for pictures he refused to give a real smile so he got tickled.

He got a movie, clothes, and Hotwheel tracks from us. Grandma and Grandpa Christensen gave him Cars shampoo, body wash and squirt toy.

 Jamie decided he wanted frosted cookies instead of cake this year.

(I know birthday is missing a letter. I told everyone all day NOT to eat the letters; take any other cookie but leave my letters alone. And then GG came over- I think she snuck it while I was cooking dinner. Oh well.)

 Aunt Hanna gave him cars and candy. Karin gave him more cars, noise putty, and a sticky hand. He chased Hanna around the kitchen laughing and screaming when it stuck to his leg or to the dishwasher. Hilarious.

After the party, Grandpa and Hanna took Jamie out for a birthday ride on the horses. Grandpa had some friends come over and gave them a ride as well.

Happy Birthday!!!

 Easter Sunday this beautiful little girl was blessed by her Father, Jason.

He was accompanied by Grandpa Christensen, Grandpa Chipman, Kory,

Jonathan, Matthew, Kevin, and GG Pa.

The week before Easter Elena and Christina came to stay with us. Jamie and Elena were inseperable and got into all kinds of mischief.

Hurricane had an Easter Egg hunt Saturday morning. Grandpa Chipman got to help Jamie and they came out loaded with goodies.

Easter Morning Jamie awoke up to 2 new cars from the Easter Bunny- a Firetruck and a Lamburgini.

Brionney also received a basket with a car to match Jamie and Daddy.

 That afternoon with everyone here we had our own Easter egg hunt.

 Yes, that is a floating egg on the tree. Jason tied the egg to a string and swung it over the branch. Carlaya was his lucky winner and quickly discovered the ruse. The little kids took a little longer to figure out what was wrong with the egg.

 Everyone was able to make this year, including Jason's parents and sister.

Brionney was really good all day with the crowd. She did perfect all weekend with everyone holding her and meeting most of her new family.

Jamie once again made out like a bandit with the eggs. He did not wait to dig into the candy.

I love Jamie's fingers spread wide. Brionney's hair just glows- love it.

I love his bare feet!

Beautiful smile. She is often found smiling
