Another year through...

On Tuesday night we celebrated Aria Kay's 1st Birthday. This cake was a white cake with pink frosting and Bek and Tami made the flowers and butterflies. I tell you when I think they can't get any more creative.

The Birthday Girl!

She must not have the sweet tooth her aunt has, 'cause she didn't dig too much into her cake.

Josh was so excited about the gifts.

Here is Maggie enjoying her cake. Such a cutie!




I have to say this is my favorite picture from the whole night. Will and Drew.

Someone got into the cake at the end of the night. His face was never revealed, so he was never convicted.

Happy Birthday Aria!

BIC-ed

Well, we did it again. We buzzed Will. This time it wasn't my fault...well, I guess if you keep hair products in places where your almost 2 year old can get to them, then technically it is my fault. In the past I have buzzed Will because I have had haircut botches, I took him just a couple of weeks ago and got him a professional haircut. Last weekend Will came out of my bathroom with a bottle of Hair Wax in his hand and globs of it in his hair. I took him immediately to the bathtub and scrubbed his hair with hot water. THinking it was all out I dried it with a towel and went back to what I was doing. An hour later it was still standing straight up. To make a long story short, I learned that not even dish soap could get the wax out of his hair. I took the clippers to him and this is how he looks AGAIN. I am so sick of the buzz.

Will loves tractors...and cars and boats and planes and anything that has a motor. I got him this tractor yesterday and he loves it. I didn't get a grain wagon to pull so...

He improvised.

Love it when little boys do this.

Running at me, saying 'side?! side?!' -wanting to go outside.

The flags are for our gate we are going to be getting hopefully next week!

Have a great weekend!

Up to Lately

Well, here are a few pictures of our last few weeks. I don't do a great job of taking many pictures. Will loves glasses, he used to wear these around, but he broke those. He has gone into my bathroom and gotten my glasses and proceded to break those, and he's also broken the ones I currently wear. I can still keep them together enough to wear them. Let's just say I am getting contacts again.


We have been going to the Children's museum every other week with a couple friends, which has been fun. Will LOVES it there. THere are three floors to the building and we have only ever gone to the first two floors, but last time we went to the third floor and Will thought the painting was so great. He was mixing all the colors and painting away, when the little anttendee came over and told me he wasn't supposed to mix colors. So I had to take him away from that area.

Last weekend we babysat Matt and Bek's kids while they were on a Hoffman cousin getaway. Here are the girls ready for church.

Here are the boys in the tub with lots of soap. Getting a bath made by uncle Jarod is so much more fun than the two inches of water aunt Heidi makes.

Will is obsessed with brushing his teeth. Loves the toothpaste flavor. I would too if it tasted like I was smearing bubblegum all over my teeth.

I got these a little out of order, but here is Will again at the CM. I guess this is proof he was making a bit of a mess.

Well, we are headed off the to the CM this morning, so better go get Will fed and dressed.

For my fam

Ever since my Dad moved to Japan perminantly, I have not been able to e-mail him with pictures very often. (A technical problem we can't figure out). He would like to see more pictures of Will. I decided since Kristen, Jarod's sister lives in Arizona and doesn't get to see us much either, I would just start a blog. I hesitated starting a blog, because I didn't want the hassle, but I decided it would probably be better than having the frusturation of e-mail problems. So here goes, if you are looking for interesting and thought provoking like my sisters', you will probably be disappointed. This will probably be interesting to my family...if that.

So here's to you Daddy, Mark and Kristen and anyone else in my family who cares to read this.
