Can you believe it's been 3 YEARS?!?

Sunday was JJ's birthday! I can't believe how fast time flies! I know everyone says that but time does fly by when you're having fun and I have loved every second of the last 3 years! I've been looking back at old blog posts today and the ones with JJ as a new born baby are my favorites! I can't describe how much JJ changed my life and how he has been by far the best thing I've ever done with my life! He's been a little on the challenging side lately but everyone tells me it's normal and I wouldn't change him for the world. I'm going to do a post dedicated to him...Lets start from the being and look at just a FEW of my favorites from over the past 3 years!

 It's been the best 3 years of my life and I'm so proud to be his mommy!

JJ's obsession

Meet Prince and Princess, JJ's best friends in the world! He doesn't go anywhere or do anything without them! The black one, Prince, is mine. When Josh and I were dating he lost my real black and white cat, Prince. He searched toy stores until he found a perfect replica. Now JJ is obsessed with it and I'm not thrilled about it. He's going to ruin it and it's all I have left of my beloved cat. Things mom's do for their kids huh?! :)

Rocking his baby

Kissing his baby

He is so handsome! Of course I think he's the cutest little boy in the world! :)

Our awesome garage sale find! :) A perfect little table just his size. He LOVES it!!

Happy Easter!

JJ had yet another magically day yesterday and today! It is so fun experiencing all the fun holidays in life with JJ! I remember the magic from when i was a child and now it is so fun to watch JJ enjoy life to the fullest! It must be so weird to be 2! You have no idea from one day to the next what's going to happen. He has no concept that on March 31st it's Easter! All he knows is he woke up this morning and he had a bunch of "special treats" as he calls them in his bucket and eggs left all around the house for him to open and enjoy what's inside! This morning wasn't his first Easter egg this year so he knew what to do! As he picked up each egg he shook it to try and figure out if that one contained candy! Since i am getting so sick of all the candy in his life, i requested the Easter bunny do very few with candy and put other fun things in them instead.

We went to our new ward's Easter Egg hunt! It was really fun!

Yesterday he colored eggs with grandma. He took it very seriously and loved it! 

Best buddies!

Then JJ wanted to eat them! I think he assumed since they were colorful, that they'd be good...you could tell he didn't like it but was trying so hard to! We told him Grandpa loved colored Easter eggs so he wanted to share!

We offered him salt and pepper to see if that would help the taste. You could tell he thought he was so big putting the salt and pepper on all by himself!

After he had put the whole egg in his mouth he couldn't fake it anymore, he hated it!

But he loved his egg buddy!

Happy Easter everyone!
