“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Mayhem turns 3!

Disclaimer: My Dad was right next to the camera. NO, he does not normally sing that bad. He's just a Ham. ;)

My baby turns 3 on Friday. (sigh)

Here's a quick post of our very quick little birthday party we had at our house on Monday - complete with Family Home Evening and dinner. :) Yum! Grammy & Papa brought steak and I made baked potatoes, harvest salad (spring mix, nectarines, strawberries, feta, bacon, tomatoes & a yummy poppy seed dressing. It's soooo yummy!), broccoli & cheese and for dessert, cake and ice cream.

I asked Matt what flavor of cake he wanted and he said "blue". LOL. So a "blue" cake was made. And only the finest of smurfs were used in the making of said cake. (LOL!) It was good - I iced it with chocolate icing, decorated with pumpkin candies and a John Deere tractor. All was right in Matt's world that night!

It was a fun evening - and Matt received some much needed clothing and some really fun trucks and cars, from Aunties & Uncles who know what little boys like!!!

But where has the time gone???! It seems like only yesterday, I received the call that an 8 month old was ready and waiting for us, and NOW, he's 3! (sigh)

I'm gonna go look for the answer to those questions in the bottom of a bottle of Coca-Cola. My goodness Dr. Phil would have a hey-day in my head! ;0)
