Happy 1st Birthday Brigham!

Ally requested rag curls the last night and there was time to do it, so she got them.

 He loved getting sung to first thing that morning.

 I got him balloons and he wanted NOTHING to do with them.  Of course.

 He is really walking everywhere now. 

 He got a race track.  Isn't this a neat picture with the 3 cars falling to the next level?

 The big kids all were quite jealous and couldn't wait to play with the track.

 Goofy girl!

 Briggs had Hot Chocolate brownies and ice cream for his dessert.

You are such a delight and I can't believe how fast your first year went by.  

Great kids

Brigham is such a great baby.  I'm hoping that doesn't mean terrible toddler years for us. 

He is so content and loves to laugh.

Should it be this hard?

On the way home from church I said to the kids "I want to get a picture of you when we get home, so don't change your clothes."  This was met with groan's and protest.  To which I said, "If you all smile really well and cooperate I will only need to take 1 picture, if you don't cooperate I will take 100."  They all quickly agreed that they would sit still and be done. 

 Fat chance of that happening!

 After stopping the wrestling match that was going on, it took another 5 minutes to get them to sit down and close enough to get them all in the same picture.

 This was the best I could get.

 Because they quickly switched gears to this:

 He is turning into quite the stud.

 Josey was photo bombing everyone and there are only a few that don't have a part of her in them.

 Ally really is a good big sister.

 And oh my cuteness!  I love this dress Josey is wearing.  It is my new favorite.

 He thought it was hilarious to walk as fast as he could towards me, as soon as I stood him next to the tree.

 He loves playing the laughing game with mommy.

 He is so stinkin cute!

Happy 1st birthday...a week early

We had pizza and a rainbow fruit tray.

 He ate his whole piece of pizza.

 He wasn't sure about the wrapping paper.

 Travis and Danika got him blocks that the big kids have loved playing with.

 This one looked fun to attack.

 Grandma, Tara and Jeff got him a ball pit/ basketball hoop.  The big kids are quite jealous.

 He had his own chocolate cake.

Not sure what to do with it.

 He was breaking pieces off and eating it so nicely.

 He decided he didn't want the entire thing in front of him, so right before he dropped it off his tray, I took it from him and cut off a piece for him.

 Tiffney, Jonah and Chris got him and Jonah matching shirts and 2 cute wood cars.

 Happy almost birthday buddy!

Angel Day #6

This day is always a gloomy one for us. 

Luckily though we have these smiley kids that remind us that we get to be with Cosette again.

We are grateful for the temple and the covenants we've made with Heavenly Father, so we can be with our sweet girl again. 

Brigham is always willing to help put a smile on your face.
