Odds

My kids are all odd numbers.

They are currently ages 5, 3, and 1.

Colin celebrated his 1st birthday on the 1st.


He seems so much more grown up now that he is one. (Outfit and Crown provided by Target. Shoes provided by Nana).

We started out the celebration with a party on June 30th at the South Ogden Nature Park.

He likes the water as long as it isn't getting in his face.

He wasn't too interested in opening his presents. He just wanted to play with the wrapping paper.

The ice cream cone cupcake cake I made.

We bought this cookie monster cake for Colin to eat.

Me and my birthday boy.

He dove right into his cake and loved it.

The cake monster all clean.

On his birthday we took him to Toads Fun Zone to get his free $25 gift card. He isn't really old enough to do stuff there, but the other kids had a lot of fun.

Riding the Merry Go Round

We squeezed our family into a tiny photo booth. It was cramped but a lot of fun.

We sang happy birthday to him again and let him eat a cupcake. He devoured it. While we were singing to him he said, "Wow". It was so adorable and I'm so glad I got it on video.

My three cute boys.

Playing on one of his presents.

He was mostly more interested in playing with the wrapping that the presents came than the toys themselves.

My baby is getting so big and I can't believe it!

He doesn't walk yet, but he can crawl really fast and he likes to pull himself to stand on everything.

He loves to clap, wave, make funny faces, shake his head yes and no, click his tongue, stand on his head with his bum in the air, and eat and play with cat food (I have a hard time keeping him away from this. He is so fast.).

He is such a curious little boy and loves to explore and examine and eat everything that he can find.

He loves stuffed animals and blankets and loves to suck his thumb when holding them.

He loves to jabber. His favorite things to say are: "mommommom", "dadada", and "nananananana".

He has such an amazing personality. He is very easy going and will smile at anyone who will pay attention to him.

Colin:
We are so glad that you are a part of our family and we love you so much! We are excited to see what this next year will bring and the many new things that you will learn.

5 already?

Once again I am getting behind on my posts.

June just happens to be the busiest month of the year for our family.

So many birthdays.

It is fun, but a lot of work.

One of those birthdays was Ethan's.

My oldest baby turned 5 on June 27th. I can't believe I am the parent of a kindergartner. He has been counting down his birthday for a few months now.

The cute birthday boy! He had a star wars themed party.

The cake I made him. This is the first time I have put a lot of effort into a cake. I think it turned out pretty good.

With some of his presents. We had a party with some of his cousins.

We took all of the kids to Toad's fun zone to play arcade games. Ethan and Blaine were tall enough to ride on the go-karts as a passenger.

Having a blast.
I think he was having a good day because pretty much every picture I took of him he had a funny expression on his face.

Logan having fun on the Merry-Go Round

Happy Birthday Ethan. We love you!

Logi Pogi

My little Logi Pogi turned 3 on Tuesday.

We threw a Halloween themed birthday party for him last Saturday.

Ethan dressed up as a pirate. Logan didn't want to dress up.

Colin was a cute little pea pod!

I made these pumpkin cupcakes for his party. They took me forever to make. My friend Kasey helped me. I think they turned out great!

The kids did a pumpkin walk

So did the adults.

The kids had a donut eating contest. Ethan won.

The adults also had donut eating contests.

I won my round.

I didn't realize how hard it would be to eat a donut hanging from a string without hands.

On Tuesday, October 26th (Logan's actual birthday), we had a party for him at my parent's house.

His favorite thing to do was blow out his candles.

I can't believe my middle baby is three and will be in primary in a couple of months! We sure do love having him in our family.
