Jocelyn's 1st Birthday Party

I spent a lot of time planning Jocelyn's birthday party.  I know she won't remember it, but I still wanted it to be special.  I made decorations, the banner, and a smash cake for her.  She thought the cake tasted pretty good, but she did not like the ice cream.  It was way too cold.  My family came and of course Jon's mom was there.  I served tacos for lunch, which was delicious then we had dessert and opened gifts.  Jocelyn didn't totally understand what was going on, but she knew it was all about her.

High chair skirt I made

Banner I made.  It has a picture from Newborn to 12 months.

Dad wanted to watch the BYU game.

Smash cake I made

She took a while to get into the cake.  By the end of the day she was a little messy.

I made the mistake of showing my mom and my sister the same picture, so they got her the same thing.  I felt so bad.  I definitely was not paying attention.  So we went and got something else for Jocelyn.

She was waving to my Grandpa in this picture.

Happy Birthday Jocelyn.  I love you with all my heart.

Happy 1st Birthday Princess!!

How is this possible!! Jocelyn Ann is 1 year!! It feels like yesterday when I first held her. This little girl is crawling everywhere!! We are working on walking but she isn't steady yet. She has 4 teeth two on top and two on bottom. We are just starting to move her into 9-12 month clothes. She loves playing with her toys and loves being with mom all the time. She talks like crazy. I would guess she weighs around 19 or 20 pounds. We will find out in two days. Happy Birthday princess. We have so much fun to come.

We gave this her walker for her birthday

He's 10!

James' birthday was the 5th, but we let him have a friend party on the 3rd.  He was so excited.  Normally we would have had his friend party when he turned 8, but we didn't have him for that birthday, so we decided to let him have one when he turned 10.  He had so much fun.  They had a water balloon fight, lots of food, and even watched a movie.  We have several boys in our ward about his age, so it is really fun for him.  He had such a great time, and I'm glad he was happy. 

They were cold after getting wet, so they all snuggled under blankets.  It was funny.

On Saturday, we got a great deal on corn on the cob, so we bought a whole bunch and processed them for freezer corn.  We have so much!!  Should last us quite a while, which will be nice.

Today is James' birthday.  We gave him his gift today.  He was pretty thrilled.
