Our Beautiful Birthday Boy!



Roman turned 2 on November 7th. It was a wonderful day although it was hard to believe that 2 years had passed since his arrival! We had been telling him about birthdays for a few days and singing Happy Birthday to him, which he thought was hilarious. I wasn't sure if he understood what we were telling him until I was taking him upstairs for his nap that afternoon. I said, "Roman, when you wake up we'll have your birthday party. What do you want for your birthday? What presents do you want?" No joke, Roman replied, "Ont (want) candy, ball, cars, a bike." I started laughing and new I was in trouble because we did NOT have a bike for him. LOL Too cute. He thoroughly enjoyed the day and so did the girls - they spent the entire morning decorating the house and making him cute things. Darin and I are so blessed to have such great kids!
Some Fun Facts About Roman:
1. You LOVE cars, trucks, busses, and anything that "goes".
2. You LOVE the movie cars and have watched it over and over - it just never gets old.
3. You LOVE to watch for the garbage truck on Tuesday mornings. You look out the window and scream with delight as it picks up the cans. At this point in your life that looks like a dream job.
4. You also LOVE balls. Throw, kick, hit and chase - you are happy for hours with a ball.
5. You give great hugs and kisses.
6. You are quite attached to your Mama but when you want to have fun you want Daddy.
7. Before bed we read scriptures and have family prayer, this is your favorite evening event. As soon as we say time for scripture study you yell, "Yay! Scritures!" and run upstairs to get them out for everyone. You also like to say prayers and often pray for your toys (and once for the neighbor boys haha).
8. You are very talkative at home but can be "bashful" when we are around strangers.
9. You actually love to go to Nursery at church and play with their toys. Other kids may cry but you run right in.
10. No One, No One loves candy more than you! "Mom, canny? Mom, canny?" Trick-or-Treat was the best night of your life!
