HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOLSEN!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS 1YEAR OLD TODAY! TIME FLIES WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS. IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN WATCHING HIM GROW AND LEARN THIS PAST YEAR AND SEEING HIS LITTLE PERSONALITY SHOW THROUGH. WE HAD HIS PARTY YESTERDAY WITH OUR FAMILY. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND KOLSEN DID SUCH A GOOD JOB OPENING HIS PRESENTS. IN FACT THE SECOND PICTURE IS WHAT WE HAD TO DO TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL EVERYONE GOT THERE. IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE WHENEVER HE WOULD OPEN ONE HE WOULD HAVE TO TASTE IT BEFORE WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT. IT WAS CUTE.
JASON AND I ALSO TRIED TO MAKE A CAKE. IT IS A FIRST TIME CAKE SO DON'T MAKE FUN. WE HAD A BLAST DOING IT (WELL, I CAN SAY THAT AFTER THE FACT) BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE DID WENT WRONG, BUT IT TURNED OUT OK. KOLSEN WAS SO FUNNY ABOUT EATING THE CAKE TOO. HE LOVED THE FROSTING, BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE CAKE TO MUCH. I THINK HE LIKED THE PLATE MORE. IT WAS FUN AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD SHARE THE PIC'S WITH YA. WE ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME. IT WAS A REALLY FUN NIGHT AND WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU COULD COME AND SHARE THAT WITH US!





THE END RESULT

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!

THESE IMAGES ARE PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY BUT IF NOT, MY SON HAS NOW FIGURED OUT HOW TO GO THROUGH MY PARENTS DOG DOOR. HE HAS BEEN WATCHING THE DOGS FOR A WHILE AND LIFTING IT UP TO LOOK AT GUS WHEN HE COMES IN, BUT RACHEL FOUND HIM DOING THIS THE OTHER DAY AND GOT SOME FUNNY PICTURES. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE!!!

Liven The Crazy Life!!

This month has been so insane! Has it been that way for anyone else? Well it started with Conference which was wonderful, my birthday, Heather's birthday, then Easter and Jessica Curtis's Farewell all in the first two weeks. Then we had Activity Day, Jason's seminars, and painting our room then next week. Which is still under construction. I hate picking paint because it looks different in different lights. It is hard to match everything!!! Anyway, this was a picture of our family at the farewell. I got a really cute one of Jess and I but I haven't downloaded it yet. The farewell was so good. It was in the singles ward, which was fun to see old friends but hard to deal with a busy baby because it is so quiet. Everyone is single so there are no kids. I forgot how quiet it was. So every time Kolsen made a peep I told him to shush! Jessica was so amazing though. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life. I look up to her so much and know she will do amazing things on her mission. You could feel that she was ready to go and has grown so close to the Lord. She Left last Tuesday and is now in the MTC. She will report to Washington, DC in 2 weeks. Good Luck Jess! Well everything else is about normal. Kolsen is cruising now and is walking more than crawling so it has been fun trying to keep up with him. Jason is doing good and might be looking into school soon so we will see where that leads us. Well, that's what is up with us. It is so fun seeing all the birthday pictures and we can't wait to post ours! Happy Birthday everyone!!!
