Happy Birthday 3!

St. Patrick's day has come and gone, and with it a milestone birthday.  3 turned eight!  It was hard having his birthday on a Sunday, because all he really wanted to do was play wii with his dad.  He didn't get to but he was able to sneak in some play time on the new swing set with his siblings while I was away at choir practice. Grandma and Grandpa came in to town and we had dinner with both sets of Grandparents. We topped the meal off with homemade mint oreos, which I put candles in for him to blow out.  The best part of the day for me was his excitement over his big kid scriptures.  It made me happy to see his anticipation over them.  I took him to pick them out Saturday, he could hardly wait to get them Sunday morning.  It has been so much fun to watch him at family scripture study this week with his scriptures, he has been much more interested and involved with the process.  The funniest thing has been watching 4.  She has never been one to be outdone by her big brother.  She has stepped up her effort to follow along and read too, and I have to admit that for a kindergartner she is doing awesome!
