It's my birthday!!!!!!

For those keeping score at home...today is my birthday. It's been a fabulous day so far. I'll fill you in with a complete report later, but for now here are some pictures.

***Birthday Update

Lots of January birthdays. As I am now only 4 days away from my 1st big birthday, I've been celebrating many other birthdays. My mom turned 29, again. Isn't that awesome?! She told me that this is very unusual. She says that it isn't possible for her to be 30, so she will just keep turning 29. Her birthday was on Friday the 18th. Congrats on that mom!


Also, my very special grandma Linda celebrated her 29th birthday on Sunday the 20th. It is also very exciting.

News Alert ***** Birthday Countdown

Ok, the count down begins...it is now less than 10 days before I turn the big #1! My mom keeps telling me how much fun it is going to be and I can't wait! I've been taking notes on this birthday thing and should have it down pat by the time it gets here. Mom has been trying to teach me how to blow out the candles. In one month I've been a part of birthday celebrations for my cousin Christal, cousin Tyller and also my cousin Mackinzie. My mom's birthday is coming up very soon followed shortly by my Grandma Linda's birthday. I'll keep you updated as the countdown continues. Stay tuned...

I don't know if you knew or not...

I'm a pretty big Jayhawk fan!

Here I am sporting the Sherron Collins Kansas Basketball jersey that my Grandma Linda gave me for Christmas.


Whew, it is completely exhausting beating up on the Nebraska Cornhuskers.


Here's a shot of me working on my bounce pass.


Here is a shot of me and my mom while we were watching the Jayhawks bring home an Orange Bowl victory. Behind us is my cousin Calvin sporting the awesome blue mohawk in honor of the Hawks!


I'm sporting my KU football jersey while watching the Orange Bowl. Also during the Orange Bowl game some of the little girls in attendance decided to decorate me with some Jayhawk warpaint. It just so happened that the war paint consisted of the makeup they got for Christmas. Yikes! I'm going to hate these pictures when I'm older.


My forever favorite Jayhawk hat.

What a jam I've got myself into?!

One of the last times I'll try and lodge myself into a small space.

I was lucky that my dad was there to help me get out.

Jack-in-the-box.

Ok, so I used to like this "Jack in a box" thing, until my dad thought it was funny to scare me one day at the same time as the one eared Bugs Bunny rabbit jumped out of the box. Not so funny. Ever since then I have to start looking for the nearest escape route as soon as that silly song starts to play, letting me know that the one eared rabbit is soon to appear. Crawl, walk, scramble, it doesn't matter I don't want to be anywhere near that thing when it goes off. In fairness to my dad, I'm a good natured kid who actually likes to be scared. If mom or dad jump out from around the corner and shout boo, I jump a little, but then begin to laugh until I turn blue. So, I don't think my dad thought that it would have such an impact on me as it did. I am trying to give the one-eared bunny another chance and we're trying to warm up each other again, but that daunting music gets me every time.

Awe, the old Jack-in-the-box game again, huh? I can handle it this time.

Boy,I sure do hate that music. Where is that rabbit?!

Ah ha! You again!

Yeah, it's not that bad as long as I can shove that rabbit back into it's hole.

Awe come on dad. I'm not scared anymore. Gimme another shot at it.

More pictures from the holidays

Mom & I did a little math lesson as we counted the Christmas money I received. We worked on my addition skills and then deposited the money into my piggy bank.



I was being a good boy and posing for my mom so she could learn how to use her new camera. She got some really good shots of me.


My Grandma Sharon had a Christmas tradition of always making homemade chocolate peanut butter balls for everyone. In this picture I've just finished my first one. Verdict? I liked it...a lot!


My Uncle Mike got me this cool Radio Flyer Red Racer. I love it. Mom spends a lot of time wheeling me around the house on it. I can't wait until spring comes when I can ride it outside.


I LOVE my daddy!

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2008! What a year 2007 was?! At this time last year I was still cooking in the oven. Within 12 months I was born, learned how to eat, sleep through the night, love life, feed myself, drink from a cup, how to crawl, how to walk, what I like and don't like to eat, be thankful for everyday that I wake up, love my parents, experienced my very first Valentine's day, Easter, Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, I learned what it meant to love and to lose, saw my very first snow and rain storm, met a ton of family and friends, love my dog, play with toys, watch KU sports and so many more day to day activities. Whew, that wore me out just thinking about it. Well, I'm really glad to be here and feel very blessed to have all of you in my life. I thank each and every one of you for stopping by and checking out what I'm up to. Feel free to stop by anytime and see what happens in the next 12 months. Many blessing, love and well wishes from our family to yours for 2008!
