Outtakes part 2...


Copycat little brother!
My silly boy!
Raleigh had a great birthday this year, it gets more interesting as he gets older and realizes that birthdays are special!  Grammy, Braeden and Kallahan got to come for his birthday party day this year and that was super fun!  Ain't nothin' better than a Grammy on a birthday!  We had a little pizza/jellybean party (the jellybeans were his idea!) on Saturday evening and that was really fun and crazy!  He was so excited to get sung to in Primary today, so I had to go in and watch!  His first Primary singing too, so sweet!  They gave him a little picture of Jesus and everything.  Anyway, here are four things I LOVE about Raleigh:

1.  Raleigh is funny, he has caught on to our sense of humor a bit and is often making serious situations into a riot.  I'm grateful he can see the sunny side of things when Mom and Dad get too boring, haha!
2.  Raleigh is handsome, ok, so maybe i'm biased!  I just can't believe Steve and I made this blonde, brown-eyed, little tanned boy and gosh darnit this is my list so I can say what I want, lol!  He is a cutie : )
3.  Raleigh has the best little sparkle in his eyes!  When I look at that last picture, silly face and all, I think of how many times I've looked into his eyes and felt like I was looking into my own heart.  He is a happy boy, and I am so grateful for that!
4.  Raleigh is kind.  He is a sensitive little boy and I don't mind that one bit!  Sometimes when we are hanging out we'll talk about being nice and how it feels when someone is mean and I hope he is catching on to that.  I am so grateful that Raleigh has Steve for his dad, he is such a great example for my sweet boys!

We love you Raleigh Jude and can't wait to experience the adventures of being four!!

Happy Birthday Raleigh! Katie, even if you are biased, I'm not, and I think he is darn adorable too! You guys make good looking, sweet, silly and adorable little boys. I'm so glad he had a fun Birthday and I love the boys' matching church shirts and all your cute "outtakes". You guys are such a cute family! I love you!!
