I'm thinking 2 is better than 1...

I was thinking it would be fun to take a picture every year of CJ on his birthday, in the same place every year, somewhere near our house or in our yard, to see his growth. Over the years, I've seen pictures people took of their son in dad's white dress shirt every year and that was cute...or standing next to the same tree to show the growth of the child and the tree.

So, I decided I would take a picture of CJ next to the fire hydrant at the edge of our yard, every year. I wish I had thought of it last year, but oh well...and I'll probably forget my plan by next year...haha

So, doesn't he look more mature?


I should've done his hair...

Wasn't thinking about the fact that every dog in the neighborhood relieves himself here.

The above is my favorite...I said, "Stand up big and tall" and this is what he did. How did we ever live without this sweet boy?!

Of course the next day, he climbed into my car, put the keys in the ignition and turn it on, not all the way, just enough to turn on the radio and air, but he was pretty thrilled with himself. Scary huh?
