Playtime

I love to watch my boys play together.  The other day I found them playing with their trucks.  I thought it was so cute, I had to take a few pictures.

Kaleb’s 1st Birthday

My little baby turned one year old.  I can’t believe how fast he is growing up.  It feels like yesterday that we were bringing Kaleb home from the hospital.

At age 1 Kaleb is almost walking.  He can take up to seven steps on his own when he is in the right mood, but he prefers to crawl because he can get around so much faster.  If there is one thing Kaleb is always trying to do… it’s go faster!  He is always trying to keep up with all the commotion around him.  Kaleb loves to play games with his brother and be chased by mom.  Whenever I am changing his diaper he loves to crawl away as fast as he can until I start chasing him.  Kaleb is a sweet little baby that loves to interact with people around him.  He is not to fond of playing on his own, he loves to have a buddy.  Good thing Austin doesn’t mind having a side kick.

For Kaleb’s Birthday party we had lots of friends and family come over for dinner and treats.  Cake pops are really popular right now so I decided to make them for the party (with a little coaxing from Grandma Gardner).  They were lots of fun to make and looked really cool as a centerpiece on the table.  I also made Kaleb an Oreo cake to dive into.

We sang “Happy Birthday” and Kaleb attempted to blow out his candles.  Austin had to step in and help him out.  In fact, we had a hard time convincing Austin that it wasn’t his birthday.  He wanted us to sing to him and let him blow out the candles too.  Much to Vance’s dismay, we sang to Austin too.

I set a piece of cake in front of Kaleb fully expecting him to tear into it (he really loves to eat), but he wouldn’t touch it. 

We gave him a cake pop and that was more up his alley.  He loved it!

Then Kaleb got to open his presents (with lots of help from Austin).  Both grandmas were really smart and brought presents for Kaleb and Austin to open.  Those boys are pretty spoiled.

It was so fun to celebrate this fun day with so much friends and family.  Our boys are so blessed to have so much family close by to love and spoil them.
