Happy 2nd Birthday Sepa!

I cannot even begin to put in words how much I love this little boy. He brings so much joy to my life. I can't imagine our family without him.

Things I love about Sepa

• his happy disposition
• the way he loves to wiggle his body - almost like he hears music all the time and just has to dance
• his pouty lip when he doesn't get what he wants
• the way he has become a part of our family - without and reservations or hesitation
• his many expressions that entertain me all day long
• the way he is totally a daddy's boy, but still has a special place for mommy
• his love for the gospel - he loves to be the one to say prayers and help with FHE
• his heart warming hugs and kisses
• how he climbs into bed with me early in the morning to cuddle
• his love for food - he's the only boy who eats anything I cook
• his love for his brothers - he loves to wrestle and play with them
• how he is such a helper to me - he is always there to help me sweep, get a diaper or throw something in the trash
• the way he acts as my little shadow, following me everywhere in the house
• the love and joy that just pours out when you are around him


Though we will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday with a Thomas the Train theme, we had to do a little something on his actual birthday. So for dinner we went to In-N-Out. Here are the boys:




Afterward, we went to Aunty Celeste's house for brownies. He's been practicing blowing out his candles for a while now - so when the moment came he knew just what to do : )

Happy Birthday Sepa! We all love you sooooooo much!

Such a cute pix of you and Sepa together :) I surely love Sepa's great expressions too, it really can make one smile and brighten up their day ! :) Happy Birthday Sep Seps!! I should've called yesterday, sorry. I'm still amazed that he is already two. BTW, it looks like Kaika could work at IN N OUT. :)

michele, the very first comment you made about your sweet boy, you know, the one where you said you can't imagine your family without the little guy? Anyways, I was talking with Brother Browning once, and he said the very same thing about every last one of his kids. I sometimes wonder how many kids are actually waiting up there to be in our earthly families. It also makes me think back on all those quotes from the prophets and apostles back in the day when they talked about how there are vast numbers of spirits just waiting to come down to earth and be with us. If think, if I can't imagine what it'd be like without Naabaahii, or Mosiah, but that keeps leading me to think that I'd think the same thing about our 8th (or 10th) kid!!
Brother Browning is a great guy, and he's given me lots of good gems to think about in the short time I knew him.

Oops, maybe that wasn't the best comment when you're 7 months pregnant! But anyways... i think really hard about that sometimes. Cherisse says to get that many kids we'll definitely have to adopt. I'm totally cool with that, but then again, I'm a newby at this whole child rearing thing, and who knows what'll happen down the line. best, Ryan
