Cj's Birthday & Carl's Surgery

CJ turned 3 on April 8th!
We went to CA for my nephew's Baptism, so CJ got to celebrate his birthday with tons of family!

My mom and dad were there from Alabama, and my sister Lindsey flew from Hawaii with her cute little baby Layla!

Everyone loved holding little Layla! We were all fighting over her! :)
CJ with his only boy cousin on my side. Luke is 8, and he is the only boy in his family. He really took CJ under his wing while we were there. They were so cute playing swords, guns and football together. Luke kept saying, "CJ come here." And, CJ happily followed him! It was pretty cute.

Emma Jane with one of her fellow 4 year old cousins. We missed Brenna. It is crazy to think that there will be 3 new girl cousins in a month or so!
Look at those cute guys!
CJ had a very "boy" birthday. He got tons of dinosaurs which he was thrilled about! He takes them everywhere he goes. He got a new basketball hoop, a soccer goal, and a baseball tee. Him and Emma Jane have loved playing with everything.
While we were in CA, Carl was playing football with Luke and CJ, and broke the bone in his hand that connects to his ring finger of his left hand. He broke it pretty bad--it broke all the way through and then twisted. He had surgery on it yesterday, and now has a plate and 6 screws in his hand. Did I mention that he is in the middle of finals this week and next? or that I am having a baby on the 26th?
He will have his arm in a sling for like 10 days. He is left handed, so it has been pretty challenging! Thankfully I haven't gone into labor early, so I can be his nurse! Crazy times! Don't you love them!
