Happy Birthday Bubby

I can't believe my little guy is 1 already. He has grown into such a sweet little boy, and I am really enjoying being his mommy. We had a fun time celebrating this little milestone with a Milk and Cookies party at my mom and dad's home.

Here is a picture of the hutch decorated with balloons, stars, cookie jars and pictures of my sweet little guy. We had a lunch of Swedish meatballs (one of H's faves), grommet pigs in a blanket (seriously, my dad made fancy bread wrapped hotdogs) and a few other finger foods. After we enjoyed a big cookie bar (2 types of oatmeal, chocolate chip, loaded chocolate chip, circus cookies, oreos, sugar cookies and pecan sandies). Of course we had lots of milk on hand. What's a cookie without milk?
He had fun opening presents. He actually seemed to understand what to do, open the bag and find a surprise.

He seemed to like his little scooter bike, it would only go backwards for him though.
I was so excited to give him his birthday cake. I love a good messy baby, but Bubby had other plans. It started out good. The candle was interesting.
Okay, the frosting is squishy and kinda sweet.

AHhhh! The frosting is TOO STICKY!
I think in this picture he is saying, "get this stupid cake away from me and wash my hands, AGAIN." The cake was no good for H.
We had fun, and I appreciate the people who helped make the party a success and those who came to enjoy in the fun.

I do love this little guy so very much. We are so very blest to have this healthy, happy boy in our lives. He love to smile and laugh. He thinks his dog is fantastic and his big brother is the coolest (D's name was one of his first words). He loves to snuggle with mom and looks forward to playtime with dad everyday. He is a funny combination of independent (insisting on feeding himself with a spoon) and clingy (following me around all day). He loves music, and loves to make sounds. Anything and everything is a musical instrument in his hands.
He has a tender little heart and a sweet disposition. I love him so very much.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
