What a year for our little "wild beast" Kanyon and once again time as flown by ever so quickly and the new adventures come in multiples. Some of the highlights over the last year are as follows:
* You continue to grow tall but your waist size stays the same.
* You conquered potty training.
* You are a HUGE mama's boy and constantly attached to my hip.
* You still don't sleep through the night most weeks.
* You love bikes, 4-wheelers, blocks, books, and playdoh.
* You have a little potty mouth (a dad trait) but are getting progressively better at using your "nice" words.
* You love to dance, sing, and run circles around the kitchen.
* You have impeccable manners that we are always complimented on.
* You loved our trip to Kansas and everyone was enthralled with your little "BIG" personality.
* You have to walk/run everywhere you go, no more strollers for you.
* You rant and rave about hunting (a trait from big brother Kaleb) and go on moose, elk, and deer hunts throughout the house.
* You overcame your fear of waves at the wave pool even after taking a good spill off the tube pulling you under.
* You are hard headed and persistent, repeating the same phrase over and over typically until you get what you want.
* You upgraded from a toddler bed to a twin size (courtesy of Grandma Sandi and Papa Joe).
* You have a very boisterous voice and will often scream out of nowhere and then laugh because you think it's funny.
* You laugh if everyone else is laughing as if you understand life's humors.
* You love Grandma Sandi & Papa Joe's house and to go out for ice cream with Aunt Margaret.
* You have a very technical mind and try to figure out how everything is made or works.
* You love big animals from afar but they scare you up close.
* You love fruit snacks and you only eat the creme part of cookies.
Kanyon, you light up my life in so many ways. I look forward to waking you up every morning, even when I have to resort to using "Mr. Bee" when you're grumpy and won't budge. One of the best parts of my day is when you run into my arms at daycare. I love our chats on our way home and most times love that you are attached like a thorn to my side. Saying that you melt my heart is an understatement, you're pure wonderment and drive for life makes my heart burst with bubbles of happiness. I can't wait to see you become a big brother, you are so tender and protective over things that you love, I'm sure it will be the same for your baby sister. Happy Birthday TURBO, may your day and the year to come be blessed beyond measure and full of fun and exciting new adventures in your little world. I love you to the moon and back!

Oh, how we love that thrilling three year old! Can't believe how time flies. I'll never forget coming to visit and meet that handsome little newborn when he was fresh home from the hospital. Kan Man is quite the little guy--so fun, cute, smart and hilarious. We're so sad we couldn't come celebrate with you...the party looked so fun and everything was adorable, as usual.
