Trouble!

The funniest thing happened this morning. I went up stairs to ask my mom a question, Jonathan followed me up and jumped in the bed next to nie nie. I wondered where cooper was so I went to check on him and he was coming up the stairs. When he made it up the stairs and was walking In my parents room. Jb looked at him and says " uh oh. Here comes trouble!"

It was sooooo funny. I died laughing. Then I put cooper on the bed next to jb and he says "hello trouble!"

Funniest thing ever!

Jon's deployment

Well, it's that time again. Jon will be deployed for (lots) of months. He will be off to far away lands. Searching the seas for bad guys. We will miss him terribly, but know he is making our world a better place.

Far winds and following seas!

A few pictures on the ship the morning he left. Just handing out with his boys before he leaves!

Birthday Party part 2

Our birthday boy loved all the balloons Grandma brought him! He had lots of fun with all his friends and family!~

Cooper was walking around saying "choo choo" to everything! If you look closely he is wearing a train shirt!!

Birthday boy and his train cake!

Jonathan's friends helped him celebrate his special day!

Lilly was the only girl! We loved having her.

Cooper enjoying his pizza!

Party time!

Jonathan had a great time. He woke up nice and early. When he came down stairs he discovered his train decorations. He first saw the train track I made on the wood floor. He loved that! He was so excited to see Thomas the train everywhere and his "Happy Birthday" Banner. He had some breakfast and while I finished getting ready for the Party, NieNie and Papa took him out for a special birthday cookie. When they got back he saw his cake and wanted to touch it. He only messed it up a little before his friends arrived. When his friends arrived, and they handed Jonathan his presents he wanted to open them up right there. I told him he needed to wait and that did not go over well. We have a few meltdowns before we got started. I finally let him open one present to keep him happy. We then had Pizza and Root beer, Jonathan's favorite!
After that we finished opening the gifts and then did cake! Then all the boys wanted to go outside and Jump on the Trampoline. No one wanted to play the game I made "Pin the conductor on the Train" :(
But it was a fun Party. Grandma Bullough and Great Grand mom stayed for a while and helped set up his new leapfrog.

I was thinking about it today and Jonathan is one lucky boy. He had 2 Great Grandma's, 2 Grandma's and 1 Grandpa at his party! That is pretty cool.
Jonathan is such a special boy. I can't believe he is 3. He loves sports, music, trains, bikes, baseball and spending time with Grandma, NieNie and Papa. He loves his daddy and his mommy and his brother. If you ask him if he loves Cooper and he replies "Yes, Yes I love my little Cooper". I am excited to see where the next year will take us. Lots of playing and adventures are in our future I'm sure!
