30 years ago, James was born in California.....to Larry and Lauri. He was their Sweet Baby James.
As he grew older, he became their Jamie and Fanny. 
He was a "ladies man" in high school....
Need I say more? (And yes, I won't be alive after posting this picture)
After High School, he served a 2 year mission for our Church.
For those two years he served in Brazil, the Joao Pessoa mission. 
While he was on his mission, his parents moved to the northern midwest, ending up in Minnesota, which is where he came home to. James didn't quite like the cold....so he got a job back in good ole Las Vegas...
Where he met his lovely bride. 
As newly weds, we had fun working late and sleeping late. Going on trips to Disneyland, Sedona, Utah....

A job transfer and a 1000 mile move later....he was a daddy twice over.
James, Jamie, Fannie, stinker....(not JIM).....daddy.
I love my old man. I couldn't ask for a better guy. My heart is filled with love everytime I look at you.
Happy Birthday, honey.

Bella's baby picture looks just like James baby picture! So cute!! Wow y'all have had your fill of birthdays this month. Tell him happy birthday from us!
I just noticed you already have a "bell family" contact, well fyi that last comment was from the bell family in your ward. LOL! Just didn't want to confuse ya.
Hey Katie Bell! That other Bell is my cousin! Yay for blogs!!!
Awww! Super awesome birthday post! Happy Birthday James!
Smokin' Speedo! (LOL, Sarah, I bet you're in so much trouble!!!) I also love the early 90's hair from the 'ladies' man' picture. Welcome to the world of 30-somethings!!!
Happy Birthday, James! Too many October birthdays!
Nice speedo...
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday James!!! That picture is awesome! Way to go Sarah!! You definitely needed some meat on your bones back then;) Hope you had a great 30th Fanny!!
That Bell family comment did confuse me and I was a bit worried who was getting on as me!! :) Anyway...Happy Birthday James and you're brave to post that diving pic of him Sarah! I hope he wasn't too upset!! :)
It was only a matter of time before she posted that picture. So THAT'S what my ribs look like. I had forgotten. I'm probably more embarrassed of my Ronald McDonald fro in the picture above it.
Sexxaay!!!
Happy birthday old man!
Colton Anne...what is even more funny is that "The Bell Family" Katie, is related to us somehow. She spoke in church about Ruth Mosher Pack awhile back, which is one of her ancestors! Isn't that a small world? Isn't she Grampa's great-grandmother? Or great-great? Either way, so cool.
And he did forgive me for the diving picture...I think. I'm sure he'll remember it for the rest of his life, though! Never let me live it down!
Oh man, James.... it's all downhill after 30. LOL. All the best to ya (love your blog, Sarah).

Julz told me about the infamous SPEEDO and man I was not disappointed!Hilarious!!!! That's the greatest picture ever next to the one with the fro and your mom! Those are the pictures worth keeping through out the years! Happy B-Day Buddie 30 was hard for me! Now go ahead and try to rock a Banana Hammock now that you are 30! I would rock for Julz if she asked me!
