5 years ago...

Something special happened five years ago..... This little peanut came into the world. Jonathan surprised us all by coming 3 weeks early while his dad was on a business trip to St. Louis.
Here I am in all my glory after he was born and my funny doctor with his arm around the "invisible dad". Fun times. Thank heavens that Shannon came to my rescue and was with me through the whole ordeal. I keep saying, "everyone needs a Shannon in their lives". It's true. She held the phone next to the action so that Mike could hear what was happening. She cut Jonathan's cord. She saw my parts! ARGH! And she drove my van like a bat out of hell to get us to the hospital on time so that Jonathan wasn't one of those babies born on the freeway. :]
And this is to prove that we really are BYU FANatics. Jonathan was 10 days old and already wearing his first BYU shirt.

Jonathan is a sweet boy with lots of love and even more energy. He is a good brother and his mommy's little sweetheart, not to mention, his daddy's little clone.

Happy Birthday Bubbs! We love you!!

What a great story - it must have killed your husband not to be there! Did he get on the next plane home? =)

Happy Birthday to Jonathan! Many happy returns of the day. =)
