hPaPy BiRtHdAy PACE!!!

Happy 4th birthday to Pace! He is truly his own person. Pace is such a cute, funny boy and is always making me laugh. He loves...and I mean loves...to talk! He will talk your ear right off if you let him. And it seems that no matter what you are talking about the conversation always ends with something to do with horses or bulls. Pace eats, sleeps and drinks anything to do with cowboys. I keep thinking that Pace with get bored with cowboy stuff and find something new to love, but it is just the opposite! Pace wanted to take horse cupcakes to his preschool today so that is just what we did. I just turned some coconut green for hay and stuck a little plastic horse on the top. They turned out pretty cute and Pace totally loved them. Of course, since he was taking horse cupcakes, he had to wear all his cowboy clothes to school. He really is a cute cowboy!! We are holding off on a party for Pace until Saturday when all my family comes. So, today after preschool Pace got to go to lunch with just him and Todd. Pace was so excited and Todd said they had a great time, and of course, Pace talked the whole time! Then when they got home we opened up his presents. Pace has known for months what he wanted for his birthday so it has been a great bribe to get him to do things, ha ha! He wanted nothing else but a great big horse truck and trailer. It was great watching him unwrap them. He was totally screaming and kept coming and giving me a hug and saying thank you, thank you! He also got some cowboy guns from Briggs, a horse for his horse trailer from grandma and grandpa Marshall, and a whoopee cushion from Jaygen...how funny! We will have a lot of fun with that. :)

I am so lucky to be Pace's mom. I think back to 4 years ago when I had him and I can't believe all that has happened in my life. We moved to Delta about 5 years ago and I was feeling totally lost in my life wondering what I was suppose to be doing. I had been teaching school in St. George and couldn't believe that I just had to be a mom now. After being here just a little while, I found out I was pregnant with Pace. That was my answer. I was now going to have two little guys to look after. I knew I was suppose to be a full-time mom. Life is great and I can't believe I am a mom of three boys! My boys are growing up too fast and I can't hardly stand it!

Pace adds so much to our family. He always makes us laugh, but he also makes Jaygen and Briggs scream. Pace totally knows how to push their buttons and he does it on purpose. Pace loves to tease. I admit alot of times I just sit back and watch it all happen because it is really funny! :) There is also a side of Pace that loves sports. When ever he isn't playing with his horses and bulls, he will for sure have a ball in his hand. It doesn't matter what kind, but he is always kicking or throwing a ball.

Happy birthday Pace! I love you so much!
