Jimmy's 3!!!

This year for Jimmy's birthday, we decided to make him feel special: he spent the whole day alone with Mommy and Daddy! We took him down to Legends and ate at T-Rex Café--he loves all the moving dinosaurs and the fish tanks (which we got to sit right next to!!!). We went to Cabela's too so he could see all the animals. We then picked up the older boys from school, had our own little party and opened presents and just played! I opted not to have a party this year--he had playgroup at our house last week and has been fighting a cough and cold, so I figured he would be happier to just be with his parents anyway! And he was! He felt so special!

Jimmy got some Jake and the Neverland Pirates toys, bubbles, a dinosaur shirt, and a kite.

Jimmy is a sweet boy. He's great at sharing, loves to please, thinks he's much older than he is, and is a SERIOUS cuddler! Everyday, he says, "Mom, wets go snuggow!" (let's go snuggle). He loves animals. He's my little sweetie! We love you Jimmy!

If we try to call him James, JK, Kez . . . he get's furious! Every now and then he'll go on a rant, "I not Janes Zerian Haas! I just Jimmy!"

Snow Slam!

We were slammed with snow! Four days of school were cancelled! The guy who plows our streets knew I had boys, so he got all the snow he could and  piled it heaps next to our driveway--a perfect setting for a master snow fort! The boys all skied on our neighbor's hill (and we went spring skiing a few weeks later--amazing!!! Jimmy skied the whole day on the big hill--Rob just tied a rope around him). It was such a blast--finally . . . the whole family skiing together--a dream come true!!!
