Well, we now have a three year old in the house! Exciting and heartbreaking all at once. I'm sure most of you know just what I mean. He's getting to be such a big boy in more ways than one (he's a hulk for his age and now he's getting to be such a little man!).
Some of his favorite saying lately are pretty funny:
- "What is the plan?" (asked immediately after waking up in the morning about the plan for the day)
- "Shaggat" (just a funny made up word he yells when he is excited)
- "How are you feeling?" (asked many timed during the day to just check in with everyone)
- "Oh, I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to bump you" (when he accidentally bumps into you)
- "Probably" (used in many different situations, apparently I use that word a lot...)
- "I was crying for you" (when he cried for me and I wasn't around, he tells me he cried for me)
- "Evie was crying for you" (telling me Evie has been crying for me)
There are so many more but I can't think of them right now. He is so sweet and fun to be around, I am so thankful for him being a huge part of our family! He is an amazing blessing from our Heavenly Father!
Corey found this truck and refinished it for Leyton! So cool!
Here is his barn birthday cake! He really liked it!
Also, my brother and his family came to visit us last weekend and we had a blast hanging out with them and their three kids. It's amazing how cousins know they are cousins...not just friends. Sort of funny to see them together, it's going to be fun to see them grow up together and how their friendships develop. Good stuff.

I can't believe Leyton is three already. What a big boy! So fun to hear all of the things he is saying these days. It seems like just yesterday that we were hanging out by the pool together. Hard to believe it's been a year. Well, I miss you my friend. Lots of love to the fam.
SO fun to read all about your kids and the recent birthday celebration! I loved reading about Leyton's sayings - he sounds like such a sensitive little boy - (in a good way, you know). Love his face in front of the cake pic...totally reminds me of you:) Thanks for posting such fun pics! Glad you're enjoying the blessing that your family is!
Happy Birthday Leyton! And, Happy Birthday to you! (Isn't your birthday in the beginning of June, too?)
It's so incredibly scary to think that our kids are getting so big so fast. How does that happen?!?
Love the pics! (especially the cake pic of Leyton) =)
You do have an amazing little boy. He is a blessing to us all!
Happy Birthday to Layton, and happy late (June 7th) birthday to you Christi. Layton is growing up so much, can't believe he's three already. I remember when all the Ankeny cousins would get together...good family memories.
Love,
Aunt Devonne
