He wanted cupcakes for his birthday and he helped me make them. Since his birthday fell on a playgroup day I took advantage of the opportunity to have an impromptu party by bring the cupcakes to the park. I wish I would have had my video camera with me when all the kids sang him happy birthday. He was beaming with joy- it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. The picture below almost captures it, but not quite. We finished off the night with a trip to the New Hope Cinema Grill sans Ollie (thanks to the Christensen's). It was a fun little theater where you sit at tables and they serve you dinner during the movie. We watched "How to Train Your Dragon" which was a little too scary for a 3-year-old, but he loved it all the same.

Oh, he is so stinkin' cute! I can't believe he's 3. We'll have to get together soon and Ladd and show Jensen how this potty training thing is supposed to go.
Message for my cousin Doug,
Hey, it's James. Sorry I missed your phone call. Like a dummy, I deleted your message and don't know which number is yours. Joel just got transfered recently and is actually the assistant to the President. They are combining his mission in Columbus, Ohio with the Cinncinati Mission and Elder Christofferson came to help in the transition. I will get you the address he is at, but in the meantime if you would like to email him, his email is joel.mcallister@myldsmail.net
Hope you are watching lots of people running around for 2 hours just to say "good job we tied".
And hey, lets move home eventually so we can play some ball.
-James
Oh yeah Ladd is a STUD. Mary calls me in whenever new pictures are up.

I love 3. And how is it he just keeps getting cuter and cuter when I thought he was as cute as they come? Happy Late Birthday Big Ladd. (Aunt Sue was in China - sorry I'm slow) xoxox
Happy Birthday...
Savannah
