Celebrating 3 Years!

I am positive there is no way to ever fully describe how much I love my baby boy.

But I can do my best to record some of the things I love and admire right now.

Scotlin, you are one of my best friends!

It's been confirmed to me time and time again what a gift and blessing you are to our lives.

I know you were sent to bring pure joy and happiness, and you do! 

You make life easy and fun!

You are sweet, sweet, sweet! Your heart is pure. Your mind is sharp, and I`ve never seen any other be as quick to learn.

I love the way you sing along just a second behind the music so I can hear your little voice trying to keep up with the words.

You still love your books, and I still love reading to you. We stop our day many times to sit down together and read - my favorite time of the day, and one of my favorite things about you!

 You are already a well trained little gentleman! Always thoughtful of your mom and sister, bending over backwards to find ways to be helpful and loving.

There is nothing better than the sound of your little voice by our bedside before 6:00 each morning whispering: `Daddy, I want to snuggle with you...`

We LOVE our snuggles with our Dooey!

You are so easy to please, and are constantly found with a smile on your face.

Thank you, my sweet son, for 3 wonderful, easy, fun, precious, priceless, loving, and enjoyable years! It has been our joy and priviledge celebrating You!

With all our love,

Happy Birthday!

For his birthday, all Scotlin wanted was cake. Every time we asked him the answer stayed the same. Cake.

Did I mention how easy he is to please??

After some time we were able to get a little more out of him, and his request for cake became Blue Cake. So, of course, I was more than happy to make him his very own blue cake. And we managed to put together a few other things for him as well. ;)

We enjoyed a full day honoring Dooey and all the things he loves.

Dad stayed home from class for the morning so we could start the day celebrating our little man.

I made him french toast and smoothies for breakfast, and then we watched him open and admire his gifts. He was thrilled over his race car tracks (so into hotwheels right now!), Blue cake, cards, and even new shirts! :) He was the happiest boy in the world.

The rest of the morning he spent playing with his `car race.`  Happy as can be!

I didn`t do so well to document his afternoon with the camera, but the rest of the day was just how he wanted it.

A swing in to the playground with friends, and then off to swimming class.

Scotlin has a swimming class each thursday, this week, luckily and conveniently falling on his birthday... All he wanted to do for his birthday was swim with his 4 favorite friends from swim class.
He always has a great time, and this time was extra special as he reported back to me that his class sang Happy Birthday to him.

After a fun day of playing and swimming we came home for a quick rest before his big pizza party. :) 

We brought home pizza for dinner as soon as Daddy came home. Another Dooey Favorite. The night was topped off singing, balloons, and of course, blue cake! 

Scotlin was sweet as can be and happy all day. Constantly thanking me for his birthday. He loved his blue decorations, cake, and race cars. When we asked him if he had a good birthday, he responded: 

"I had a WONDERFUL birthday!" 

Just love this kid! :)

Thank you for the special phone calls, cards and messages for our little boy. He felt very special on his big day, thanks to all the love.
