Our little song bird

I love to listen to this boy sing!

We were laughing so hard, I was crying because of Christian's new words to, Old McDonald Had A Farm.

Better Late Than Never

I know, I am really behind. Christian turned 4 on December 28th. I want to post pictures of Christian's birthday. I can't believe that he is 4. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday that we were meeting him for the first time. I am so HAPPY he is in our family. We love how active, funny, caring, and a great example he is to us.

I want to say a special thanks to Christian's Aunt Lori. She made Christian's birthday special. I and Chris were very sick with the flu on his birthday.

The birthday boy. The big 4!

Christian and his cousin's birthday are one day a part. They like to celebrate their birthday's together.

Christian's Funnies this past year

Christian is a really funny boy and says the most funniest things. I wanted to share them.

Chris: Christian what do you want to do when you grow up? Christian: I want to play basketball and soccer. Me: Who do you want to play like? Christian: Lebron James.

Our car was having a hard time staying started today. Christian said, "I know the problem, the car needs new tires."

Christian: Mom, I'm a little happy now.
Me: why are you a little happy?
Christian: Because somebody is checking to see if I am naughty or nice.
Me: Who is checking to see if you are being naughty or nice.
Christian: Jesus and Santa.

Christian: Mom, what are you?
Me: a girl
Christian: no, you are not.
Me: Yes, I am.
Christian: no, you are an Angel.

We had our adoption classes today. When we went to pick of Christian from the babysitters, he said, "Mom, did you get me a sister."

Christian's song went like this today: Follow the Prophet, lets get along.

Christian: Jesus helps us
Me: How does Jesus help us?
Christian: He saves our lives.

Me: Christian, I have a song stuck in my head.
Christian: Where? Is it in your hair?

Christian: "Mom, I need to say a prayer so that my hiccups will go away." A hour later Christian says, "Mom, my hiccups went away."

Christian has a new pretend friends Molly, Catalina the snake, and Deona the pig. They live in a nice house which is a apple.

Christian: I got work to do!
Me: What kind of work do you have to do?
Christian: Nintendo work

me: Christian you are so cute
Christian: I'm not cute. I'm dangerous!

Christian said the prayer today. This is what he said, " Please bless that mommy will have more patience with me."

We were driving home from Astoria and Christian started to get sad. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "mom my goldfish cracker only has one eye." "That would be sad, sad to only have one eye."

Chris: Christian get your tail over here
Christian: Dad, I don't have a tail. I have a bum!
Me: Who has a tail
Christian: Rabbits

Christian: Ice Cream makes me white.

Christian: Mom, Jonah is here.
Me: What's he doing?
Christian: He is talking to me.
Me: what is he saying to you?
Christian: He wants me to go to Nineveh with him.

Christian: Mom, I'm hungry!
Me: What do you want to eat?
Christian: Angry Birds

Crafty Christian

Here are some craft and art projects Heather and Christian have been working on. Christian really enjoys them. It is a nice fun activity that is good preparation for Christian for school. Doing crafts almost ever day has been one of Christian's favorite things to do during the day.

We went Lowe's Build and Grow workshop on Saturday. We put together the little caboose shown below. Christian was tired of hammering by the time we were done. Maybe we should do this type of thing more often.

I love the crazy pipe cleaner hair.

Sparkly Stockings!!!

It is a 10 point!!!

Christian and Heather went with some friends to the Portland Zoo a few weeks back. Here are some cool photos of the fun time they had there.

Who ever knew brushing down goats was so much fun? This was Christian's favorite at the zoo.

Hmmm. People say that there is a resemblance between owners and their pets. Good thing we don't have to worry about Christian having a sun bear as a pet!

Christian fixated on the exciting activity of a hippopotamus.

basketball

Christian's new basketball trick. I lowered his basketball hoop to the lowest setting. He was able to dunk it the next highest setting too.
