Mischief Maker!!!!!!!

Our little son is a MISCHIEF MAKER!! I think the second he turned 1, he decided he wasn't making enough mischief, and so these are the things he's been up to since his birthday!

Biting his crib, YIKES!

Crawling into the cupboards!

Taking pots and pans out, and sucking on funnels!

PS. Even though he's a stinker, we wouldn't trade him for the world!!

Happy Birthday Kyle (The BIG 1!)

Saturday was Kyle's first birthday party. I can't believe that he is already 1, time really flies by. It seems like yesterday we brought him home from the hospital! We love him now more than ever, and we are so grateful that he is ours.

On saturday we had a party with my family. The theme of the party was "cars", because Kyle loves all types of cars. We opened presents, had cake and ice cream, and enjoyed many laughs. Kyle has a sweet tooth, he loved eating his cake!

On sunday we had a party with Casey's family. The kids were really cute with Kyle, it was fun. We wanted to thank both families for the fun time, and the gifts that you gave Kyle, he loves them all! Thanks again for sharing this happy time with us!

Annual Butterfield Christmas Party

For the past five years, we have had a Christmas party with our friends the Butterfields. It is so fun to get together with good company and laugh! We start out the evening with a feast prepared by Stephanie. This year it was prime rib, mashed potatoes, carrotts, shrimp, rolls, and chocolate cheese cake! DELICIOUS! Then we retire downstairs and listen to Casey read us a Christmas story that the Butterfields pick out. We then play some games, this year it was Bingo. We had a delightful time, thanks again Butterfields, we love you guys!!

My Wonderful Husband

I have the most wonderful husband in the whole wide world. He is so sweet and kind to me and our son. If I need him to do something, he doesn't ever hesitate to say "YES!" I just wanted him to know how much I love him, and am grateful for him!

Casey put up the Christmas lights on Tuesday, they look so great! (Don't worry we won't turn them on until Thanksgiving is over!)

First Hair Cut!

I can't believe it, Kyle had his official first hair cut. I cut it myself, so I'm sure it is lopsided, but he was starting to look like a little girl, so we had to take drastic measures. At first we started to use Casey's electric trimmers, but Kyle wasn't having any of that, he was screaming!! So we decided to put him in the bath, and I would use the good old scissors. He didn't even know I was cutting his hair, because he loves the bath so much, and he was having so much fun!

Halloween Fun!

We had a lot of fun for Halloween. We went to Casey's family for an annual Halloween party! Then I took Kyle to my mom's office to go trick-or-treating with the cousins! He was so into looking at all of the costumes that people had on. He went throughout the halls waving at EVERYONE!

Day at the Park

Kyle LOVES the park! He loves to swing, eat grass, leaves, sticks and whatever he can pick up! He is growing up right before our eyes, and we love him more now than ever!

We are getting so excited to move into our new home. We move in this Friday, WAHOOOOO!!! This is a picture of the outside of the house, more to come after we move in and decorate (my favorite part!)

Crazy about food!

Delicious scrambled eggs!

Kyle takes after his mom and dad in that he LOVES food! Kyle loves playing with fake food, I think he thinks if he chews on it long enough it will turn into real food. He loves putting things in his mouth and then jut holding them there without any hands, he cracks me up!

Yummy, eggs and bacon!
