My Baby Boy is 3.

Curren James Urbain!

How quickly we have gone from feeling your kicks inside my tummy

 To meeting you for the first time and feeling your touch (3 days old)

To chasing you, as you learned to crawl..and you were FAST (6 months)

To watching you eat your 1st birthday cake!

 To really seeing your sense of adventure come out, you are so curious and you love to learn (18 months)

 seeing you chow down another birthday cake and playing with all your best friends (2 years old)

To watching you play with all those same friends yet another year later here at your 3rd birthday! You are still constantly jumping/running/MOVING! You are always sweaty you wild animal!

 Mama and Daddy love you more than you could ever imagine, Curren. You are the one who gave us the best job we could ever ask for- being a mom and a dad.  We live for you, and we want everything in the world for you!  You are constantly teaching us how to laugh in moments where we normally would not be laughing, how to have patience, you keep the kid in us alive by asking us to find worms with you, counting the starts at night, and reading Where the Wild Things Are, every single night! We love when you ROAR your terrible roars, and we you love when you cuddle up with us and tell us how much you love us. You are the sweetest boy I've ever met, you are so compassionate to others- you are still concerned with your cartoons when someone is sad, or lost, you cry every time...and that shows me that you have a big heart.  Even though you still have a hard time sleeping at night- at times- your dad and I are happy to be there for you to make you FREAKING meatballs in the middle of the night to feed your growing body.. you are the size of your 5 year old cousins at this point, you're huge! We know that before we know it you'll be off to college and we won't have the pleasure of eating dinner with you every night and hearing about your day.  We know we only have you as our own for so long, and then you are the world's.  We cherish every day with you and we love you deeper than those deep canyons in the ocean we were learning about during SHARK WEEK! We do appreciate your patience with us as we learn to parent you, when we feel guilty for being to hard on you, you always let us know you love us. You're our favorite little boy, thank you for being the best big brother we could ever hope for, and the best son we could ever dream of.  We know you will be such a great big brother again...and your siblings are lucky to have you to look up to. We LOVE YOU!!!! Happy 3rd Birthday Son!

You are one lucky boy to have sooo many people that truly love you, you have many Friends, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Grandparents who have been with you every step of your 3 year journey! They truly love you very much.

How To Make: Toasted Caprese Sandwiches

I always run out of ideas with summer tomatoes, last summer most of them ended up going to the chickens! Such a waste, granted I planted waaay too many plants. This summer we just have 3 and it's plenty for us.  Curren picked some tomatoes this morning, so we were going to just have Caprese Salad, then we put them on bagels, added mayo, then we toasted them YUM.

You will need:

2 bagels

cheese (we used smoked mozzarella but any would be yummy)

mayo

basil

oh yeah and like 5 med tomatoes

..and also a big kitchen helper

have a picnic!

I think you can tell by the pictures what to do! So easy and soo yummy. Curren ended up pulling the tomatoes off to eat his he is pretty picky when it comes to tomatoes..Ryan and I grubbed them, they were so good! Fin was sleeping, you snooze you lose sister!
