3 Years of Ian...

My little baby boy turned 3 on July 1! It's hard to believe that he is now the age that Ben was when he was born! What can I say about a boy like this...


He is so full of life, so happy... His smile will instantly put a smile on my face and laughter in my heart. We call him the "repeater" because he repeats just about everything that he hears Ben say. He has a loving spirit that flows from him. He's a little comedian and can entertain us for hours! He loves to make up his "own" words and has a very specific nighttime routine that I must follow...complete with a certain order of songs for me to sing to him every night (and yes, they must be in that same order...HA!).


A week ago, he was singing "Jesus Loves Me" at the top of his lungs in the grocery store. A woman stopped to listen and talk to him and I believe she put it best when she said, "Boy, with that beautiful voice, that curly hair, and dimples to boot...you'll have it made sweetie!"


Happy Birthday, Ian...my beautiful, wonderful boy...

A Weekend in Illinois...


Ian and Daddy on cousin Jeff's new four-wheeler...


Ben and Daddy on the same four-wheeler...
Both the boys LOVED riding on this thing!
Guess that means I'm in for many a sleepless
night when they get older! :)


Ben and Ian with Great-Grandma Scott.

Eric with Grandma Scott. What a sweet, sweet
lady and a blessing she is to us all!




Ben and Ian with Nana and Papa Scott.


Daddy did a little fishing with the boys in the pond
behind Uncle Allen and Aunt Penny's house. This
was the first time the boys had actually been fishing.
Ben loved it and did not want to stop. Ian liked
watching but as you can see in this picture, he wasn't
so sure about actually HOLDING the fish! HA!
