MJ turns the big #3

May 4, 2011 Michael J. Bateman turns the Big 3!

I can't believe my baby boy is 3!!! I love this kid more than anything. He is so stinkin handsome and so full of life.  He is fearless and a real life super hero. MJ is mommy's champion and daddy's buddy. Most days I pray for strength to be able to mother him, but I couldn't be more grateful or blessed to be his mother. During the day I feel like I am going to need therapy to handle you but every night all I want to do is get kisses from you. I Love You MJ! You are a choice special child and I am so happy that the Lord saw fit to bless me with you.  

You are only weeks away from being a big brother and I can't wait for you to teach baby Damon all your great skills. You will be the best big brother! You are so sweet to little babies and I know that Damon can't wait to come and play with you and be one of the buddies! Mom, Dad, and Sophie Love You so Much CHAMP!! Happy Happy Birthday!!

Guess who got bunk beds?!!
