Happy Birthday James

J-man is excited!!

Two Boogieboards.

Are these for the pool?

Yep, the BIG pool, made by God.

"This is gonna be the bestest birthday, ever!"

Christiana will be the first to join the birthday boy.The cowboy drink holder.

Gabriel has given himself the job of the "plunger",
making sure everyone gets their ice cold plunge.

(Since James is the birthday boy, he was chosen first.)

Guess who's second?

But not without a fight!!

He's persistant and she's resistant.

Just to prove, as aggravating as the "plunger" is,

we still love him.
The waves were perfect!!

(They look "dirty" in this pic, but it was

actually deep blue.)

(Momma took all these pics, and wasn't sure about the setting.)
You can take him off the farm,

but he brings his tools with him :)

(You never know when you might need 'em.)

The making of Mt. Rushmore.

Well, Mt. Rushmore,

plus a few more heads :)
What are they up to?

Do they think pop needs a little plunge?

Will they conquer the father....
or will he teach them a few lessons.I think he's teaching them a few lessons.

What do you think?
The "Plunger" has gone down!!
YES!!!
"Don't even think about coming after me,

I've already been plunged!"
"This is the bestest birthday, ever!"
"Fighting the waves and being thrown around by

"You know who", sure makes ya hungry."
"It's just a good day at the ocean."
"So Refreshing"
"Hey man, I've noticed you're a little dry."

;)

(Well, you know the rest of the story.)
"Can we stay here, forever?"

"These waves are great!"

It is a wonderful life.

It truly is!!

Sand Fights are so fun......

until you wake up the next day and you have cuts
all through your sun fried skin from pieces of shell.
What a picture :)

"Daddy, will you take me out far and protect me from the huge waves?"
"Look out, Mary!"
While Thomas relaxes in the pool,

he gets a surprise visit by......
this friendly fellow.

(He almost swooped himself right into the hole!)

Farewell friend.

Nine hours of bliss.

James' beach cake.

(Doesn't fair too well in 99 degree heat.)

But it was still yummy.


Thank y'all for coming to my bestest birthday ever.

It was so fun!!


We love you, James.

You bring a smile to us all, every single day,

and we thank the Lord so much for you.


You bless our socks (and shoes) off.

(That's why we don't wear any. :)
