Rice Family

I know its a bit late, but these are pics from J's 27th birthday (it was in august) I am posting these because of Justi's pic and the face J was making in it reminded me of this: Hayppy birthday Babe.

My little E will soon be 3!  I'm having a hard time with this, because I'm pretty sure he was just an eensy little baby a couple days ago.... In the meantime, however, he is growing and getting smarter by the minute.  Lets go through some E-speak: "I don't member" - when asked a question "Mom, you cute." "In the garjub?"  (garbage) "Knock knock, mom"  who's there? "eyeball in the car" .... I know - hilarious. "Knock knock, mom"  who's therr?  "well....don't member." "knock knock, mom"  who's there?....okay I'll spare you. Are you a big boy, E? - "Almost" "I not mister...I E.M.R."   I can't even begin to tell you how great he speaks, the vocabulary he has, nor how capable he is! Some of his greatness:  Officially potty trained (a few months ago to be honest); can count (with fault) to 20 ish; likes to sing Wonderpets theme song (if you do...

Thank you everyone for the wonderful Christmas gifts.  We had a great trip to Idaho to see J's family!  However, we had sick kids all around; M threw-up the day before and the morning of the day we left; my new nephew had a fever and spent a couple days in the hospital Christmas day (he's okay); my other nephew had a cough (ended up being Croupe) and a fever and loads of snot; and just before we came home E started in on diahrea and threw up New Year's morning a few times.  Fortunately J and I are in the clear - so far (keep your fingers crossed).  Good times, good food, great company. Pictures later - gotta get back to work!
