Happy Birthday Houston!

Very angry little boy
Opening his new John Deere trucks
Our pathetic baseball cupcakes
Our sad baseball hat
The bear he loves to snuggle with
Yep, this post is a week overdue. Everyday I think, "After I get everything done I will get on my blog." and everyday I come up short.
Last week my little man became a 1 year old. Time has flown and he is so BIG! He is our little scientist, always wandering around discovering new things he can get into. He just found out how to flush the toilet and so that is his new big thing. Some of his favorite things to do are:
  • Play at the playground. He has finally mustered up the courage to go down the slide.
  • Cuddle with his big stuffed bear.
  • Say, "Da da" all day long and maybe mention a "Ma ma" once in a great while.
  • Bananas, loves em!
  • Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He adores Mickey.
  • Going on walks.
  • Playing hide n' go seek. He is a really good seeker but a terrible hider.
  • Hanging out with his mom and dad

For his party we made a baseball hat cake and I was reminded why I have never really been into cake decorating because I am terrible at it! We also made some little baseball cupcakes. Next year I am just going to buy some... He had a fun time. He wouldn't open his presents so we had lots of helpers who assisted him. He also freaked out when the cake was placed in front of him. I think he would have been fine but Blake decided Houston was moving a little to slowly by just picking at the cake. Blake stuck Houston's whole hand in the cake and Houston was NOT happy about that.

Houston is such a blessing to Blake and I. We both adore him and cannot wait for our weekends when we can all be together and play. He is such a happy little kid with a huge personality. We love you bug!

It was so nice to see you guys on Houston's birthday. It was fun to see our little boys playing together. I'm glad i got to finally meet him. He is so cute and i love his personality. After we left, Jared and i were saying how it was nice to have good friends who are in the same boat as us and that we can really relate to. I'm so so glad that you are my friend.

I know what you mean about the cakes. All I tried to do was write Happy Birthday and I managed to screw that up, so we covered it with lots and lots of sprinkles! Houston is such a fun little boy and I am glad he had a fun birthday. I am going to be in Utah from the 19-23 so call me if you wanna get together.
