Happy Birthday Justin!

Today is the beginning of birthday week here at the Larson home. We have 3 birthdays within 6 days, and Justin is our birthday boy today!

He is turning 7 and is so excited! Justin is one of my babies, so it is very hard having him turn 7. In many ways, he seems like the baby of the family. Justin got kicked out of the baby status when he was 20 months old, by the unexpected arrival of brother Tyler. By the time Tyler was 11 months old, and Justin was 2 1/2, people were asking me if they were twins. Tyler grew very fast, and Justin not so fast! To this day, Justin is a couple inches shorter and 10 pounds lighter than Tyler. He is also my sweet child. He will still snuggle with me and let me hold him, whereas the younger brother is not so cuddly. Justin has been a joy from the beginning. He is such a good boy, and we love him so much! Tonight, we get to celebrate by going to Kangaroo Zoo, so we will post the party later. Happy Birthday Justin!

Justin enjoyed many hours under the heating lamp. (I wonder if that is where he got his great coloring?!)

The "Twins"

Lucky Me

Last week, I received this in the mail. I won it a few days before on a local TV show, "Good Things Utah." This is just my kind of luck! Don't get me wrong, I love the Twilight series and all, but of all the things to win, I won this charm necklace! I do not advertise my love of the series with bumper stickers, T-shirts, vinyl car decals, etc. But now I am the proud owner of this necklace. Actually, it has since been passed on to Hayley, and looks like a rappers bling bling, but better her than me!

I have actually gotten through on the show and left my name and info before for several different contests, but until now had never heard anything or won anything. Just last year, I won some Bees baseball tickets on a radio station. When I went to pick them up, I discovered they were for a Sunday game. I ended up giving them to one of my brothers, who in turn, never made it to the game.

Maybe my luck is changing. You gotta start somewhere right?
