Happy 12th Birthday, Jamie!!

{James Jr. ~ age 2 ~ summer of 2001}

Jamie, I hope with everything in me that you have a truly blessed 13th year of life. You deserve it. You are such a responsible, hard and honest scholar. You give 110% of yourself to those things that you deem worthy on your list of priorities. Fortunately for all of us, school is on that list! You also give so much of yourself to your friendships, in and outside of the family. We are all blessed to know you. Your unique personality and the way you wear your heart on your sleeve are so precious to me and to so many others as well. Just hearing the sweet sound of your voice puts a smile on my face and can completely change my gray skies to a bright, sunny day in an instant. May the Lord bless you, my son as you grow older and the Lord willing, wiser with each passing day. In you, God has not only given me another son, but a dear friend as well. Always know that you are loved, cared for and cherished not for what you've done but simply for who you are, my little miracle, my son.

~ Happy birthday, James ~

this summer my big bother got a XBOX 360 and sometimes (if im REALY REALY lucky) he lets me play. We have three games Chrome Hounds, Far cry instincts, and call of duty2 his favorite is Chrome Hounds.

(the following is being typed by mama)...Tomorrow I'll be going to a "Back to School" bash and I'm looking forward to going on the bouncy slide. It's more of a bouncy "air" mattress than a slide. I'm looking forward to seeing what my teacher looks like most of all. My teacher wanted my mama to write an essay about me so she did. Well I'm off to go lay down and go to sleep and rest. Goodnight!! :p <-- the emoticon that Jamie "discovered" a few minutes ago. Suits him well I'd have to say!

Its been about 2 years and i'm 9 alot of changes have happend since then I lost a good friend last year but found a closer friend her name is Abby she is smart nice and is a good companion.
Love
Jamie

Last night me and my family went to a party. we played and played and played and got prizes. there was a football toss poty toss shoot the animals and a big slide.

Last Halloween I was a red Power Ranger. And then we mixed up all of our candy and then we had a whole bag full.

Today I went over to my friend Chris' house. (next door neighbor) I played the mini-Sega. And when I was at my house again then I went and played on Sega again. And that is all for my journal today.

We're going into town today. Whoever is going to be reading this I really hope they enjoy it. I want to be Thomas (the Tank Engine) for Halloween. I hope that this is long enough.

Today is probably going to be the best day of my life. I don't know if you know that I like Thomas (the Tank Engine). Thank you for visiting Jamie's Journal. And that would be all for today.
