Creed calling Janey Kate a Putie-a-Cutie instead of a CutiePatootie...
Creed, playing Hide and Seek with Anne Michal, walking up to Janey Kate and asking her, "Janey Kate, do you know where Anne Michal is?"

Creed turns Three
I sure do love this boy of mine; my big three year old! He was so excited about his birthday "coming" even if he didn't really believe it was today. Well, eventually he did but it took presents and cake to do so!
This morning before church. His name and 3 on his shirt are supposed to look wonky but they just look like they are going downhill...esp in this pictures. It is rather sad to be 3 and already on the downward slide! ;-)
He said, "Take my Picture here!"
Every time we asked him what he wanted for his birthday he'd say "jellybeans!" and he wanted everything green! Miss Carol brought him some green jelly beans to church and he shared them with Jonathan and Jackson.
His green cake. Elizabeth did a centerpiece as usual.
Showing us how many he is now.
He got a tricycle for his birthday. He was very excited but surprisingly timid with it.
Elizabeth giving him a hand.
He is crying here because he had a couple of spills and said it was too hard and he wanted to ride his easy bike. I think he meant his ride-on giraffe(bullseye).
He had his first rootbeer. He drank a little bit and said, "I don't really like it; Can I have some milk?"
Blowing out candles...he knew just what to do.
I am not sure all that green was a good idea; that shirt may never been clean again!
Sporting the birthday hat Elizabeth made him.
Opening his jelly beans. He was delightfully "wowed" by them. :-)
So thankful for our boy Creed and the joy he brings to our family!!

A Creed Funny
I was walking with Creed and Janey Kate and we passed a wooded area. This is our conversation:
Creed: Mom..are those woods? Is that the park?
Me: Those are woods but it isn't the park.
Creed: Why isn't it the park?
Me: Because the park is somewhere else.
Creed: Well, I am going to build my house in those woods.
Me: You are?
Creed: Yes. It is going to be a tree house and I am going to make it out of toilet paper and red paint!
Creed: Mom..are those woods? Is that the park?
Me: Those are woods but it isn't the park.
Creed: Why isn't it the park?

Creed: Well, I am going to build my house in those woods.

Creed: Yes. It is going to be a tree house and I am going to make it out of toilet paper and red paint!

Janey Kate's Baptism Shindig
We decided to do something a little bit different this time and had a carnival/fair theme for our baptism party. We had hot dogs with all the fixings, seasoned potatoes, corn and sausage, raw veggies(for good measure), kettle corn, homemade pretzels, caramel apples and moon pies. Jon helped organize games like a three-legged race, jump the pond, wheelbarrow race, and more. The kids and their helper, Miss Carol--or the other way around--made 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons. It was really good old-fashioned fun!
I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the decorations and food , but this is the banner that the kids made with Miss Carol.
The guest of honor--Janey Kate.
Showing off her ruffled bloomers and hiding the fact she is crying her head off in this picture. She was not a very good hostess and was very cranky. The song, "It is my part; I'll cry if I want to" was written just for her!!!
Some of Janey Kate's guests...
Pictures of the games...
I loved it that the adults joined in...
Ayden showing off his homemade ribbon. It cracked me up how thrilled the kids were to win a ribbon!
The big kids played lots of basketball.
One of the signs of a successful party is very dirty kids!
The party kept going after a beautiful sunset.
Some nighttime fishing...
and a latenight conversation with Daddy.
Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate with us in the joy of Janey Kate's baptism!!!

Janey Kate -- 5 months
and has finally left most of her crankiness behind her. Maybe one of these days she'll start sleeping more than 5 hours consistently!>
She loves to smile and laugh! She can roll over and sit up by herself for a minute or two. Her feet are her favorite toy.
A very bad picture with her bunny...my batteries were dying.
Love this little grin!
Creed always has to jump in a picture. I think he was telling me she was grabbing his belly.
