How is Harrison 4 already!?

I mean, seriously, wasn't it just a year or so ago that Harrison joined our family?!  It sure feels like it.
But no, Harrison is a wild little guy, with very little fear.  He's always running, jumping, and wrestling.  The only time he's still is when he's sleeping.  He's also the most grateful little boy I've ever met.  He says thank you all the time!
"Thank you for making me dinner."
"Thank you for taking me to the store."
"Thank you for buying me groceries."
"Thank you for brushing my teeth."
All the time, he's so thankful.  Crazy, but thankful.
He also loves snuggles.  The big boys don't like hugs much, and they certainly don't want kisses, but Harrison LOVES hugs and kisses.  I think that's why this birthday is so hard on me.  I know soon he won't want mama loves and snuggles, and that is heartbreaking.

So even though I'm not ready for it, Harrison turned 4.
And turning 4 came with 2 parties and lots of presents!


That face...


He's so fun to buy presents for because he loves everything!
His favorite present was probably bath bombs.


He got to go to Mr. Gatti's for one of his parties.  He loves Mr. Gatti's purely for these 2 little riding toys:



He'll spend most of his Gatti's money on the riding toys, and those are the activities he talks about for days afterwards.  It's kinda funny because he thinks the teacup ride is a toilet, not a teacup.  He kept asking me if he could ride the toilet when he got to Mr. Gatti's and I had no idea what he was talking about until he ran to the teacup ride shouting, "Toilet ride!  Toilet ride!"  He's hilarious!  If he can't find toilet humor in something, then it's not worth his time.

He got to go to Casa Ole (the boys' favorite restaurant) for his second party- his actual birthday.
Again, he's so so so so so cute!!!!



And there was cake!  Can't have a birthday without cake!


So he may be 4, but I will always remember him like this-


And while we're on birthdays...
One of Jackson's good friends is Jaden.  He's a super cute little guy!  Anyway, he invited the boys to his little sister's birthday party- how cute is that!?  Anyway, here are a few pictures of that birthday...

Harrison got 3rd place on a motorcycle game- he was pretty proud.

Easter 2012

This year we had our big family Easter dinner on Friday because Grandma had to work on Sunday. I tried out a new recipe for dessert which I found on Pinterest (of course). It's a super rich chocolate brownie cake. It turned out great, but was a little too rich for my taste. However, I really think that if you are a true die-hard chocolate lover then you will LOVE this recipe . I thought I was a true die-hard chocolate lover, but this cake beat me. A good friend of mine makes Easter cupcakes with her kids every year. I saw them on her blog last year and I thought they were so cute! This year we made them at our house to hand out to our neighbors. Jackson helped with the baking and decorating. He has some mad grass and egg decorating skills! He also decorated the plates that we handed out the cupcakes on. Our neighbors were quite impressed with his work. For some reason I still get these little momentary realizations that I'm a mother of two, and I get this rush of emo...

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the ...

George Albert Smith challenge

Last Sunday we started the new lesson book in Relief Society over President George Albert Smith. I was really impressed by the 11 "ideals" that make up his personal creed. You can read each of the 11 ideals from his personal creed here . I wish I could say that I am already living ALL 11 ideals, but that's not the case. So I'm challenging myself to take one ideal a month which will take me through November and honor that ideal by living it somehow (it will vary each month with each ideal). I will try very hard to do something representing all 11 ideals in the month of December. I will update the blog each month with whatever good deed or service project I have come up with for each month's creed. Writing about my monthly challenges is not to be boastful or prideful, but rather to ensure that I follow through with my challenge. You are welcome to take the same challenge. I would LOVE to hear about how you live each creed! January's creed: "I will...
