Look Who Turned 1!






















My baby girl is 1 already! Crazy. She turned 1 on the 19th, but we had our celebration today with some friends over for dinner. Thanks for coming Kelsey, Brookie, & Aubrey! I had a lot of fun making a happy birthday banner & some decorations for her party. It's about the only thing you can do for a one year old, right? Ava was spoiled with some fun toys and cute clothes. I think Eli tested out most of the toys before she had a chance. (Except for the doll.) And unlike Eli, she actually really enjoyed her cake. Earlier this week Kelsey got some fun pictures of her on the grass. I sent some out on postcards to our family who couldn't be here to celebrate with us and thought the crying picture was perfect for how we felt about them missing out on the party! :) And you have to love the scab on her nose from her carpet burn. The stairs left a mark that time.

Wish you were here?





Just a few pics to make all of you who are burried in cold and snow jealous. :) You can always come visit and enjoy our nice winter! Eli loves jumping on his trampoline and tells me he is going to jump so high to reach the clouds. And Ava thinks she has the walking thing down and that she should be able to run now. She gets going too fast a lot of the time and wipes out. But she just gets right back up. (She still isn't a fan of the grass, but loved going down the slide a few times.)

Sunbeam


This was Eli on his first day of Primary! He is now a Sunbeam and I love to look in the door to the room and watch him sitting on his big chair singing or listening to the teachers. Let's just hope he keeps that up. :)

New Years Eve





We spent New Years Eve at my grandma's house with dinner and the plan to play games all night. (Or at least until we couldn't keep our eyes open.) Plus watch the ball drop on TV. But the power went out at 8 pm and we couldn't see too well to play games by candlelight. Plus no power for the TV and heat. So we headed back to my moms and put the kids to bed. I think we all went to bed by 10! Sad to say.

Friends



While we were in Idaho I was able to hang out with Steph and her family.(One of my friends I grew up with in Sugar.) She has a son who is Eli's age and her daughter is a few months younger than Ava. It was fun to see them and Eli loved playing with all of Brody's toys. They both love Cars!

Pizza & Bowling












While in Idaho we went with family to eat lunch and go bowling. I loved the look on Eli's face the first time he pushed his ball down the lane! This was his first time bowling and I think we will have to take him again because he had so much fun. Love those bowling shoes too! (And check out Kaelub's bowling form. Looks like his college bowling class paid off! Well, we just won't look at the score.)

Grandma's Helper




Eli was Grandma's helper when it came to shoveling the sidewalk. He had a shovel just his size and he thought it was so fun! They even made a snowman.
