Our cute JamesE turned Three!

He loves superheros especially Batman.  He always wants to wear a superhero shirt and basketball shorts.   He has the cutest dimples and is very sweet to his baby sister.  He loves playing with his toys and his big brother.  He has a great imagination and has no problem playing in the toy room by himself.  He is still working on getting on the "Potty Train" as he would call it.  He loves music and has many of    what he calls "my songs" on the radio.  His favorite one right now is  "Call Me Maybe".  He is taking swimming lessons and soccer.  Both very beginning level and getting used to both.  James calls his baby cousin Marshall- his "Best Friend Marshall".  He also refers to Eliza as "Her", "Her is crying, Mom".  James is quite the character and entertainer. He loves to dance to his songs and loves to play swords and guns.  He is very smiley and Happy.We love his fun personality and sweet spirit.  Love you - James

Easter 2013

This year I took the kids to the Holladay Lions Club for a swimming Easter Egg Hunt.

They swam around (in different age groups) and picked up the plastic empty eggs then turned them in for a prize bag.  It was something fun and totally different.

James turn

Eliza even got to go swimming after the hunt for the first time!
