Can't Believe This Was Almost A Year Ago

Covered in cake and icing,

your smile stretched ear to ear.

A single candle celebrates,the joy of your first year.

We sing Happy Birthday,you play midst wrap and bows.

We marvel at how you touched our lives,just one year ago.

I remember the first time I held you,kissed your head, whispered your name.

you've changed our lives forever,Our hearts will never be the same.

As a child you'll love this day,for all the sweets and presents too.

As parents we'll love your day,for the gift we got was you.

Each year we'll add another candle,so proud to see you grow.

But always with the memory,of your first day long ago.

Brooklynn

So I have found it so hard to pick a photo for the Good Things Utah "First Birthday" announcement. Yeah that's right it's been a year. I can't believe how the time flies. Which pick should I use? I think the first, Bryan thinks # 2.

Things Ella Says

Ella can be the funnest person I know. Two days ago we are driving home from school and I am at a stop light so I take that time to look at her school drawing. She has this one of a person that has a grumpy face and
I ask her "Ella why did you draw a grumpy face on this guy?"
and she responds "Mom that's Dad."
To me that was the funnest thing I had heard all week because if you know Bryan he never smiles. I'll try this weekend to scan the drawing.

Just For Kerri :)

My best friend Wonderbread, says she just hates that I don't have pics of myself on the blog. I had to go back two years to find a picture of just me. So here you are Kerri, I will try and be better about postings pictures.

Bryan's Wound

I know this picture is pretty gross and for the record Bryan is not very happy with me for posting it. This pic is a month and a half post op.
Ella checking out Daddy's Wound Vac.

Alpine Slides

Ella loves the Alpine slide, here they are headed up.

I told you she loves it; she's so excited and want to go again!
Ella was so excited that she face planted it as soon as she got off the slide. I think she was more embarrassed then hurt.
Brookie has become such a cheese when she sees the camera, I had to add this photo!

Park City

Hangin' out at the pool!
This is Brooke's favorite game; popping the gum with her mouth. She can play this for hours.
Best of friends, Best of cousins. Ella is so lucky, she has a cousin so close in age. Megan is 8 months younger than Ella. I barely saw Ella this week she was inseparable from her cousins Abby and Megan.
Ella making faces. I had taken a photo before this one of Bryan and I told him he looked grumpy and Ella pipes up and says of course he does Mommy, he always looks grumpy. So true!
I have so many pictures from this week, I will have to make a slide show sometime soon.
