Happy 4th Birthday!
Happy Birthday Little Mister! What a miracle you are from this little one in the NICU to the kind, wonderful boy you are today. You make me smile and laugh so much each day. I am so proud of the boy you are!!!
It hard to remember just how little you were...
4yrs old and I wonder what the next year will bring for you.
I love to watch you ponder the world around you, think things trough and ask those questions that we have to google just because I don't know the answers.
Happy birthday bubby we Love you!

the story of pumpkin
As promised here is the story of pumpkin...
We went to the farm with some friends back in the last week of September. While we were there Little Mister picked out "pumpkin". Pumpkin became his little buddy he slept with in bed with him, sat at the table with him, even played toys with him. I know what you are thinking I should have seen trouble down the road but no I just thought it was sweet or that we needed some more play dates with people not pumpkins :)
Well I noticed last week that pumpkin was starting to look different in color and Little mister was not really playing with him much anymore so it was time to get rid of it. I told Little Mister on Thursday night that is was time to get rid of pumpkin that it was starting to decay (yes he knows what that means yea for PBS) so we needed to put him in the yard debris bin so he could decay and his seeds would make new pumpkins. Don't judge me it's not the first little lie I would tell in this adventure. Little Mister was fine with that and he asked me to take a picture of him and pumpkin so he could remember him.
Pumpkin's happy face...
I thought all was well he was off to bed no tears or anything. The next day we spent the whole day with cousin Ammy and had so much fun. That night after he went to bed little Mister came out crying saying he missed pumpkin and wanted to tell him goodbye. So we headed outside in the cold to say goodbye. I am sure the neighbors thought it was odd to see me holding my boy over the trash can as he is crying and saying goodbye. He calmed down went to back bed and no less then 2min later he came out crying again saying he was afraid pumpkin would be scared in a new place. So we headed back outside to tell pumpkin to not be scared that God would be with him. As Little Mister and I headed back inside he turned to me crying well sobbing is more like it asking me if pumpkin would ever learn to walk again. Finally it clicked this was not about pumpkin anymore. We talked and snuggled, cried and rocked in the rocking chair for about an hour. When I had answered all the many questions the best I could we snuggled and I waited for more questions. When were all talked out we put on a movie got our stuffed animals out including my very special daddy bear(I made it with my mom and sisters a week after my dad passed away from cancer). All snuggled in on the couch he finally fell asleep.
The next morning he told nana all about how sad he was and how mom let him use her bear. Nana thought it was time for him and little miss to have their very own Papa bears so they could have something to snuggle when they felt sad.
What a fun adventure they had picking out there bears and picking out clothes, Little Misters Bear is wearing a shirt that says I love my Grandpa. Little Miss bear we found out later was created by a little girl who had Cancer and when you purchase him a dollar of the proceeds go to children's cancer research. The kids love the bears and little mister sleeps with his papa bear every night. Much wiser chose then a pumpkin :)

ikea photo adventure
I took the kids, my sis Melissa and my camera out on friday to Ikea. Three reasons really, one I wanted to get some 18m and 4yr pictures of the kids and just practice, two shopping and three a stop to visit Ammy on the way home. So The kids did good and I never could have done it without my littlest sis helping watch for cars and keeping Little Miss close by. I learned some things along the way like the morning sun as nice as it is to have, I didn't always see how it was blinding parts of my pictures. Oh well I am just learning and having fun trying it all. So I thought I would share some of the many pictures I took. Any friendly critics are welcome:)
Thank you aunt sissa for all your help!!!
I have pictures all about our day with Ammy but that will have to be next time as it involves so much more. It including a tale of one sad boy and his beloved pumpkin.
