My Baby is One!

Blake didn't know what to think while everyone was singing to him

Mesmorized by the candle

This is about as close as he got to his toys all night, all of the boys kept taking everything away from him when he wanted to play with it. It was making his mommy a little grumpy!




Blake's second birthday celebration

This time he knew exactly what to do with the cake!

We celebrated Blake's birthday twice. On his actual birthday, I was in Wyoming with my parents and so Mark didn't get to celebrate Blakes birthday with us. So we did another party in Logan for his birthday with Becky and Shane and the gang. I am always up for a party and Blake sure enjoyed it. I didn't get to throw my big first birthday bash for Blake this year, so I am still going to do his big Luau next summer, so Mark got off the hook for having to cook a pig this summer, but that just gives me another year, to make it all the more magnificent! (and think of some more fun things for Mark to do!!!)

Well my baby is now one and I can't believe it. The time goes so fast and he is so amazing. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. We all love his personality and how he just adores all of his brothers. He has started to talk and I love this stage, he says ball, more, and the boys all say he can call them by name, yeah I know it is amazing to hear him say Jonathan! He is not walking on his own yet, and that shows that he will be a very obedient son, because I have been telling him all along to take his time and he is doing just that. What a good boy! We love you Blake!

Miles is a 2nd Grader!

Miles started second grade on Thursday August 20th. He was so excited to go back to school and be the big second graders at school. Miles' school is only K-2nd, so he is the big man on campus this year. Everyone was ready to go to school and were very sad when they didn't get to go. Ryan does not start until next Thursday and Jonathan goes after Labor day. So the next few weeks are full of "do I go to school today?" Miles really loves his new teacher and had some of the same kids from last year in his class. I am so proud of him and I can't believe how big he is getting.

I have been wanting to start some fun first day of school traditions, so this is one I found and I made everyone their name out of pancakes, and then we got a delivery from the Magic school bus, and the boys got some fun school supplies. And the night before school, Mark gave the boys father's blessings for a new school year and that was very neat. I think we had a fun start of school and I think the boys really liked it. Now we have to do something fun next Thursday when Ryry goes to Kindergarten. He told me after we went to Back to School night, that he didn't want to go to school anymore, he just wanted to skip all the grades. Oh Ryan!

Jonathan wanted a picture in Miles' classroom and was ready to go to his classroom
