Birthday Boy

Happy 3rd Birthday to our precious Fulton!!!

As I type this it is almost the exact time that our sweet boy was born. What a joy the last three years have been. He is such a caring, funny, shy, and thoughtful young man. It's really a blessing to see his little personality begin to develop. He has a love for all things superhero, trucks, cars, and especially construction equipment. His favorite foods are anything fruit related, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and this boy loves some string cheese. He is beginning to learn scripture and has two verses memorized already. 

Daddy took off today so we could spend the day as a family. After we blew out our birthday candles on our pancakes, we headed to the doctor for our three year well visit with Dr. Cortopassi. This guy got to have his blood pressure taken for the first time. He sat there like a champ!

He weighs 33 lbs and is 3ft 1 inch. He is right on target for everything and he even braved the flu mist and didn't even flinch. I am just so amazed how fast the last three years of his life have flown by. When he was just a baby Matt and I would say--I wonder what he will look like, be like, talk like, etc when he is a toddler. Well, those days are here. Our only hope and prayer is that he will run fast towards his Lord and Savior and have a heart that is on fire for Him. 

After our quick doctor's visit we headed to the McWane Center. Fulton hadn't been here in about a year, so it was fun to see how much more he could participate in. 

He really enjoyed the sea life on the bottom floor. We practically had the place to ourselves and got to pet the sting rays and little sharks. 

These two did a little fossil digging while we were there. 

They really have some of the coolest exhibits and this one you could walk into this slanted room and depending on which way you went you were either huge or tiny. He thought it was hilarious. After McWane we headed to Saw's Juke Joint for lunch. Wow that was delicious. I had the fried green tomato BLT with okra. We came home with full bellies and took great naps. 

For dinner we met up with the family at Frontera. It was Fulton's choice. 

He loves some Mexican food. 

Kiki brought cookies from Savage's and Fulton didn't hesitate to eat the 

entire thing while we sat there. 

So thankful our family could all be together to celebrate the third year of life for this cutie!

We had such a wonderful day celebrating. But the fun wasn't over yet. 

Fulton wanted to pick out a little birthday fish. We are officially a pet family again. Baby steps. He loves this little fish already and on the way home he named it Floyd. We sat Floyd up in the middle of the kitchen table and even read him a book before bed. So, Happy 3rd Birthday to our little blessing Fulton. Thank you Lord for allowing us the privilege of being his parents. 

We love you Fulton!
