Happy FIRST birthday!

Its so sad and happy that our little baby turned one on September 24Th! I still remember the night I went into labor heading down in the dark to Ogden with the prettiest Halloween moon glowing it was so gorgeous and made me think well if he isn't staying in till October my favorite month of the year well then the drive down was so pretty that tonight would be perfect!!!! I would remember it always and even if it was still September I had made it to 37 plus weeks and it was truly a miracle I was sure he would be okay!

He is such a cute cute boy and I just can't believe he is already been with us a year! The days are short and it just flies by! It was a sad day that he was no longer my little baby and I still catch myself looking at baby jammers and then stop Oh ya Ledger is to big for these now!
I planned his birthday for a couple months finding the right invite and cakes I wanted to try and make! I love watching Cake Boss so I figured I give it a try and be my own Cake boss and go for it!
They turned out perfect and I was so so happy! I have to say the fondant is not the best tasting frosting but it really makes the cutest cakes! It was so fun to make his invites online and little cute boxes that had his picture and said Thanks for coming to my first birthday! I really wanted it to be big and memorable birthday!

We got up with Ledger and kept telling him Happy Birthday big boy and gave him his presents he was so funny like what do I do with these and why are you letting me rip open paper?? He loved the tool bench and nascar of course anything with wheels!

I invited family and few close friends! The party was so fun he got the cutest toys and a green four wheeler that was literally LOVE AT FIRST Sight he gets on and goes Vroom Vroom and smiles the biggest smile! My aunt and Uncle really made his day!
He loved his cake and kinda took small pokes and looked at us funny really for me I can eat this and make a mess?? Why you all laughing and watching me??
It really was cute and by the end he was covered from head to his waist in icing!!

I wish I could keep him little forever and ever but know he won't be for very long! We had a great day and just love our little One Year old!! Bubbie and Ledgie POOH!
Happy HaPpy Happy HaPpy Birthday to you!!!

Here Lies Beetlegeuse!

So this all started with a doll! My aunt works at Little America and texts me the pictures of the the new cute Halloween decor out there she just barely got in the gift shop!! I loved loved this little skeleton/witch guy she sent and immediately named him **(Beetlejuice)** I had to have him it was love at first sight! Ha Ha ha!!! So I got him a few days later and got an amazing idea to make him into a towel for this year! Ledger was so funny ooh and awwed and was terrified of the little doll at first it was so funny, after a few days decided he wasn't going to hurt him and tried to rip to pieces! My kids loved loved him and never heard of the show beetlejuice so I found it online and ordered it! They love love it! It reminds me of being a kid watching it over and over and now they are! Treyton has decided to be him for Halloween so I had my mom sew him a striped suit since all the costumes were teen and bigger! He is going to be so stinking cute!!! Well then my mom made dolls for them and they just love to sleep with them it is really fun! I made lots of towels this year of him total of 25 all sold I kept one for me and just love how unique he is!! Halloween is coming and I just love every minute of it! The house is decorated costumes are ordered and the fall leaves are so so beautiful! Its heaven to me!!!
Crazy how one little doll could inspire so much fun for a family!

Cookie Cutters!

Ledger got his first big boy hair cut! Everywhere I went people would stop and say...what a beautiful little girl what is her name?? UGH are you kidding me his has boy clothes on? But no just tell them hes a boy instead! I have walked past this kid salon called Cookie Cutters probably at least thirty times and wanted to go in there with my other ones but just never had the time!
So today was the day I wanted his first haircut memorable so this was going to be the place he got it done! It was sad to cut off his baby hair and little curls he had in back and around his ears, but the time had come!
He was so happy when they set him in the car. He instantly grabbed the steering wheel and started his voom voom noise! Then as soon as she got the hair cape around his neck that was the end of the fun. Was looking scared and very worried!
Mom what is she doing with that and them! His hair was so long he could have been a rocker and had a tall Mohawk!
He got a balloon, with a cookie cutter attached! Bubbles blown at him to make him happy and a movie!
It was great! I am going back! He looks so cute with his little spikes! Our little twin to Treyton! He looks more like he did when he was a new baby the first time they brought me him to my room he was so cute with a little mo hawk of hair! Instantly love at first sight!
Hugs! Hugs! Little Ledger your almost one now and looking like a big big boy!

Just 19 days Left..

My Little Ledger is just 19 days from his birthday! I can't believe just a year ago today I was laying on bed rest! Hating every minute I just wanted to get his room all ready and house clean and so on but I was ordered to only get up to use bathroom or eat! I never had three weeks go so slow in my life! But in the end it turned out to be worth every minute! He was born happy, healthy and the first baby I got to have in my room,feed,hold right away and take home two days later! It was such a miracle!! The best feeling you could ever have in the world!



***I craved Pumpkin pie so so bad that I ate more of it last year than I think I ever have in an entire span of 10 holidays! It just tasted so so good! I even had Leonard get me it from Olive Garden and then I was addicted to the Carmel on top! It is actually called Pumpkin Pie cheesecake there and I recommend to everyone! Shoot I want some now!!! I love pumpkins and pie and for the rest of my life every time I eat it some it will remind of bed rest and my sweet baby boy being born! I just made two the other day and loved every bite!


***He is such a cutie! He has now learned that a sippy cup works and does let juice come out! He is almost completely done with his bottles sad to see them go another baby thing has almost past!

***He is also pulling himself up everywhere and I mean everywhere~! I was doing dishes and the phone rang and while I was chatting Ledger started his baby scream help help we ran into the kitchen I figured he had fallen off the edge of it and bonked his head but instead he was on top of the door! It was so funny he had a look of shock and horror how do I get down from this? It was so cute! He is getting stronger every day and adventuring from pieces of furniture to the next! It sure won't be long and he will be running through here~! He no longer army crawls to get place has got the cute four leg crawl down pack. It is so funny how one day they don't do something and the next it is mastered! He is so smart!

****I am so excited for his birthday Sept 24Th!**** I have the cutest guest boxes for the kids that come to take with! I am making a really cute tier cake with stars of all colors and Jungle! We got his toys today and I am so excited to get them out and play with him!
****Our little Baby soon will be a toddler! Time goes to fast I want to jump back and start over some days! I love babies!

***Over Labor day weekend we got to meet up with Cyn,(Cindy),Alex and there pretty little girl Mckelle! We strolled around the Rendezvous together both the babies were content to jut poke each others eyes and pull there noses! Its really cute to watch them communicate in there little way! It was great seeing them! She is just 3 months older and just so dang pretty! It was a fun I wish we lived closer so they could have play dates! I had fun going! Last year came and went in my bed and I didn't get to eat my one Navajo taco for the year! I sure did this year! Yumm!

Back To ScHoOL

Its late August and the weather is already getting down to the forty's at night and frost on the windows!
Whenever It gets cold in the air like this I love it! Its almost (FALL) I know I'm nuts but I do!! I am ready for fall leaves! Pumpkins, apple pie, apple cider, and of course everything and anything HALLOWEEN!!
***The boys were so excited to go back to school this year it was so amazing! Brendan LOVESSSSS his teacher and I am so happy he is wanting to go! The third day in he went to bed early, shocker, wanted to read, shocker oh and spend the night at the school!! What a miracle!!! He loves it again and that is all that matters! He was so cute with his matching skull pants, belt, shirt the first day up at 7 am ready to go!!! Spiked red hair to boot!
Treyton was sad he missed Mrs. Brady and just wanted to go to her class again! I told him it would be great and he would see her here and there! He also was very excited to wear his new clothes aka mainly new shoes (lol) gets it from me!! The school theme is cowboy this year and even though (we) are not that into the whole western thing! Treyton loved it! He got a hat and handkerchief the first day and wore it around all night pretending he was a cowboy! Stinking Cute!
***I am very excited for a great year! Parent night was so fun and I loved both my kids teachers this year! I am also enjoying just me and Ledger at home during the day to do my chores and sew, play with just him!
.....Bring on FALL....

FLowers!

**I just love flowers and growing my own! Last year we didn't get to do very many due to construction and me being pregnant and high risk that I am suppose to do as little as possible! Which for me his very hard to sit and not do much!
**Treyton's Kindergarten class started growing Sunflowers in cups at the end of the school year! He was so excited when he brought it home to plant out in the yard and watch it grow over the summer!
Well Summer started out very long and cold so I kept the cup inside growing bigger! It finally got warmer and he begged me to plant it! So we got our flower area all weeded and new dirt put down and wild flower mix down and then put in his little sunflower! I through in a line of them from seeds he had given me for mothers day!
They had so much fun helping me plant them!!!

**My mom has some really pretty flowers in her yard and some neighbor kids were picking them! He came and told me (Mom) them boys are picking grandmas flowers! Proceeding to tell me how he told them they shouldn't do that flowers are very hard to grow and when they bloom it took along time so you shouldn't pick them! It was so cute!! He is such a sweetheart!!!

**Treyton's sunflower took off and is the biggest out of them all! He is so proud of it! Every time I am out watering he checks to make sure his is still growing and the tallest! In the picture it was the same height as him!
Just two weeks later it is now taller than me and very close to blooming! I sure hope with the cold nights that it still blooms!
He is so proud of it! Next year we are going to try a garden!!
I will post his sunflower when it blooms and if it does I sure am hoping it survives!!!

Just in two weeks it is now over his head!! Above!

Tonsil and Tubes!

Its been a crazy last few weeks of summer!
****Brendan had his tonsils out he went into surgery okay anxious and nervous but was fine other wise! They came out and got me around 25 minutes later! I walked in expecting a quite sore waking up boy! Well instead he was yelling and screaming! His eyes burned! He was mad wanted to leave! Yelled at the nurses to leave him alone! Wow what was wrong! The doctor explained to me that anaesthesia makes some people angry and mad when they come out of it! Oh wow my shy,patient,most quiet kid in the world angry!
We finally got to leave and they made him wheel out in a chair! Again mad yelled I didn't have knee surgery I can walk! I was so embarrassed and laughed it off to meds! ****A few days before his surgery he got his God of War shirt in the mail and has been begging us to wear it everyday before school starts!! WE decided after going through such a surgery he could have it for comfort I also got him the book on the games that has cheat codes and tools to help you along the way! He has literally wore that shirt every day till it needs washed then back on again! He is so obsessed with him its funny!!!**** He did quite well over the next few days he got so sick of ice cream and pudding by the third day was begging for a cheeseburger so I gave in and to my surprise he ate the whole thing! After about a week his ears started to hurt and the scabs fell off wow what a pain! I am sure glad I had mine out at four I don't remember a thing about it! It looked and sounded very painful! He is now eating and loves how big his throat is much easier to swallow! He is up and happy over it all!

****Ledger had to get tubes in his ears after he came down with his ninth ear infection! Dang it I thought through the summer he would be fine and be able to make it through the warm months that we wouldn't need to put them in! It proved wrong after he got his third one in late August! He went into surgery happy and smiling! It was very quick and I was back with him in less than fifteen minutes! He was very sleepy and just a little bit miserable! Crying every now and then when the weird nurses in hats came by! Other than that after about four hours of being home he was like nothing had happened! We are so glad this is over and hope it helps keep him from getting more infections throughout this winter!!
