Here's what you do:

Go to your fourth folder and get the fourth picture...

Mine was this, the second time I got to hold Declan before Life Flight took him to SLC at the University Hospital. Precious moment... Look how tiny he was. It boggles my mind how big and healthy he is now :]

Then go to the sixth folder and get the sixth picture...

This one is our second Christmas after being married, 2007, and when Declan was finally HOME!!! Kris is letting Mirra, our English Bulldog, open one of his presents :]

Fun-Fun...

My BabY's 1!!!!

So...My baby is 1!!!!

What a lucky mom I am to have such a sweet baby boy in my life!!! We had quite a few family members over. It was really fun. Kris and I put in a new wood floor in the Kitchen and finished it the day of the party...November 1st. It looks really good :]

Then I decorated the kitchen table and living room with streamers and balloons. I highly recommend "Birthday in a Box"...they have a website that you get so much for a theme of whatever you want in a box--good price too. It's great. I think I'll do this every year... I did the Jungle Theme of coarse. Here are some pictures of the day:

The Awesome Cake!!! I LOVED IT...Thanks Mom...

Table Decor :]...notice the new floor :]
First grab at the cake...we ate and had a BBQ...played around. Talked...and then cake-time. He was quite tired because he didn't take a nap the whole day, but he enjoyed it for as tired as he was...
and ate quite a bit that day too :]

Smiles even when stuffing his face...

Declan got so many presents...well, toys. I do not think he needs anymore for quite awhile :] No Room :]


His sword that daddy got him...kept whacking people with it and then would laugh...such a turd--cute one though...

This is him actually on his Birthday, November 2nd, after church eating his lunch...gave me quite a perfect smile...

I love my baby boy...he is wonderful. I just couldn't help but stare at him all day and kept saying to myself, "One...Really?" It hit me pretty hard this last weekend of last year and all the trials. He is such an example to me and made me appreciate life and family more....While singing "Happy Birthday" to him...I could only sing the first "Happy Birthday to you..." and then I started tearing up and stopped or I was going to bawl. I don't know if anyone noticed. I tried to hide it and put my head down. I am a boob, but I can't help but cry when something this precious has touch my life in so many ways...

MOMMY AND DADDY LOVE YOU MR. GOOBER!!!!

We had such a blast this year...after taking Declan to his grandparents, Mullins's, and the next door neighbors house. We went inside for a bit and we kind of got bored and Kris kept on saying that he wanted to scare some kids. Well, WE DID!! Kris, me, Becky, Rachel, Jon, Kalab and Kym all dressed up and went around on the streets hiding in bushes and scarying kids. Gotta say...it was pretty fun and made it feel like we were in High School.

We started scarying kids at Kris's parents house, but then we saw up the street how many kids were up there so we went up that way. We then ended up going to Mike Locke's house and hiding at his house. Kris scared this girl really good. She was dressed as a Fairy...frolicking and skipping and Kris came up behind her after getting candy at the door and she freaked and ran...and screamed while running, "You scared me really bad..."

We then started to hang out by the side walk by the bushes. Kris was at one corner, Kalab in the middle and Jon in a truck that was parked on the curb by the side walk that everyone was walking by.While us girls were just laying down on the grass hiding. Well, a mom and a bunch of Middle School kids came up and Jon popped out of the truck banging the side making more loud noises. It even scared the mom. It was so funny to watched...they started laughing afterwards, but man did they all scream and jump. We are probably going to make this a tradition as long as the weather cooperates. It was great!! Declan was such a cute little Giraffe. Thank you to all of those who commented and emailed me :] Giraffe got quite a bit of votes...and it seemed to fit him perfectly :] Here's some pictures of the night...
