Eric's Happy Birthday!~

Eric had his best birthday yet October 2nd. That means I must be doing a good job as a wife. Thank you to all of you who called or facebooked or e-mailed letting him know you thought of him. That is also what made his day so great.

I surprised him by taking him blindfolded to the Harry Potter -The Half Blood Prince. We read it two years ago together and really enjoyed it. The movie was really fun. We were a little disappointed the ending didn't match the book but overall had an awesome time and enjoyed going to the expensive theater for once :)

Sunday Walks at the Nature Park

The Winter is coming and we are trying enjoy our last warm walks. It was 98 degrees Sunday night at the nature park in the sun. Crazy compared to this week huh? We have a lot of fun family memories at the nature park and wanted to share some pictures with you.

Aden is running around all over the place. He is good at catching himself when he falls so it's not so painful. He is a bundle of fun and always laughing and ready to have a good time. We are so grateful for beautiful nature and for each other. :)

Lost in thought..... ;) What a hunk!

Eric Turns 27 this Friday! This is him modeling his new Holister sweater. I gave him one of his presents early so he could wear it to school all week since this week has been a cold one. ;)

Our Teddy Wally and Aden 12 months old!

Aden's Birthday Party

Our little snuggas turned 1 yesterday and we all had a blast! I decorated the house after he went to bed the night before so when he woke up he came out and it was all beautiful and fun with balloons all over the floor. He went over to his presents and used the sign for please. It was so adorable. I let him open one of his gifts and we played with it. Aden got more gifts that we don't have here and more people came that we didn't get pictures of. So know that we still love you but I think I already put too many pictures. Being a parents is awesome!

P.S. The Birthday Cake was so yummy. I am surpised at how well it turned out. I spent 1 day and 1 night working on it coming to a total of around 12 hours. It weighed 10 pounds not including the lid. It evened out to 1 pound of cake for every hour I spent making it. ;) It was totally worth it and I enjoyed learning a new skill.
Here is Aden's Smash Cake! That is really what he did. He didn't really want to eat it, he just wanted to feel what it was like between his fingers.

We played a fun game of Water Balloon VB outside our apartment. Grandma and Amiee played with the little ones so us big kids could have fun. ;)

Funny story....Courtney (in front) asked for the bee off the cake. I told her yes and let her take it home. I assumed she just wanted to look at it. She popped it in her mouth as soon as she went out the door. Good thing is is just made of marshmellows and powdered sugar. Her little brother Kyler wanted one too. Since there was one left I gave it to him and he too ate the bee whole. Hope they don't have stomach aches today, that's a lot of sugar. :)

Above is my brother Kenne and his new girlfriend Jen.

This is Aden and his Grandma Denney and his cousin Tayven.

We would like to start regular scripture study with Aden so we decided to get him this children's My First Book of Mormon. We want him to know real hero's that trusted the Lord.

It was no easy task getting this book because they don't make them anymore. I had to special order it from a store that had 3 left. Gratefully I was on top of things this year and got all his presents early ;)

I have been so excited to give Aden this toy since we bought it earlier this summer. It is a bounce and spin Zebra and it sings and neighs. He really loves dancing and playing with it. He still needs to grow a little more for his feet to touch the ground.

This is a pretty intense face...;) Aden was trying to soak in all the new things going on it is a lot to take in your first time!~This cute little basketball is from my brother Hyrum and his family.

My younger sister and her boyfriend Rizzo we so nice to get Aden some fun blocks.

This fun toy is from Aden's Grandma and Grandpa Denney. They were kind enough to take it out and get it ready for him to play.

Aden's 1st Birthday Cake

This is a two layer chocolate cake with chocolate chips and whipcream with chocolate butter cream frosting and fondant frosting. It is a present with winnie the pooh and tiger as the gifts. They are escaping and the banner says Happy 1st Aden. ;) There are two little bees flying around.

We love to see the temple!

Aden is walking and talking all over the place. He is the cuttest little boy I know ;)

Our Family At the State Fair

For Family Night we went to the Blackfoot fair and had a great time. I saw the biggest horses I have ever seen. An average horse is about 800 pounds I was told and these horses were around 2400 pounds. That is 3 times the size of a regular horse. That is HUGE! They had huge cows and really loud funny sheep. We didn't have a lot of money so mostly just walked around and enjoyed everything. It was a fun memory. :)
