1st Birthday Party!!

I finally got to have a polka dot party! If anyone knows me, they know how much I love polka dots.  It's a little obsessive but I just think they are so cute!! I cannot believe Haven is one already!  This year has been so crazy and I don't even remember half of it.  Haven is such a sweet and sassy little girl.  She definitely has a little attitude but she is so cute and loves her family, especially Cooper and Addison.  Anyway, we were supposed to have her party outside but the weather didn't cooperate so we had to move it inside.  We still had a great time! 

Love how her cake came out!

My happy little birthday girl!

When the balloons got here, she freaked out.  She LOVED them and didn't want to do anything else until she played with them for an hour.  She kept getting frustrated that it took her forever to pull the string down to get the balloon and then it popped back up when she let go.  It was funny to watch.

Giving daddy kisses.  So cute!!

Chowing down

Leave me alone, I'm eating!

She was completely un-interested in opening presents.  We pretty much had to force her.  Too much going on I guess!

She did however LOVE her pillow pet that Cooper gave her

All the kids loved showing her all the new stuff.  Glad she is loved!

 Cake time!

There are a lot of cake pictures but the progression of how she ate this cake is so funny to me!

Not quite sure about it at first

Hmm...pretty good

Chowing down!

Stuffing her face

Perfection!

Love her little lips ; )

We had a great time even though Haven didn't really care but it was still fun anyway!  I can't believe I have a one year old again!!

After the party Haven did a little dance show for us.  She is SO cute, I can barely stand it!  She just started standing a lot more in the past few weeks and I LOVE it!

11 Months!

My baby is 11 months!  Can't believe she's almost one!  She is such a happy little girl.  Her 2 favorite things in the world are Cooper and Addison.  She is so entertained by them every single day.  She gets so excited when Addison gets home from school.  It's so cute to watch.  She is still getting around pretty good. She cruises around holding onto the furniture and the walls.  Looks like a little spiderman sometimes. She will stand on her own sometimes but as soon as she realizes she's not holding on, she lets go.  She babbles constantly although she is still toothless!  I can't believe it.  Maybe she'll have some for her birthday cake!

She has been making this great "ooohhh" face all the time.  It is beyond cute!

Baptism Day

Addison has been preparing for her baptism for a while now.  It finally came!  About 2 months ago my friend Tami took pictures of Addison in her baptism dress for her invitations.  She did such a great job and the pictures came out great!  Addison looked so beautiful in her dress.

 

 

The day finally came.  Addison was pretty excited but a little nervous too.  She was just ready for it I think.  

I got a HUGE surprise right before the baptism started.  As I was looking for Phillip's parents, I saw a guy that I thought looked a little like Brenan but didn't really think about it.  Then I saw his daughter Tali and realized that they were really here.  I was BEYOND excited.  Then I saw Travis and I about flipped out.  I couldn't believe they were really here.  It was so good to see them and I love being surprised!

All the girls!

My mother in law and I preparing for the lunch afterward.

We had a busy but wonderful day.  I am so proud of Addison for getting baptized.  She is a wonderful little girl!

This little girl was so exhausted she just fell right asleep on the couch since the kids were playing with their cousins in her room.  Poor girl!

We had such beautiful weather on Sunday that we headed out to the park.  It was so fun seeing the kids play together and get to spend some time with the family.  Just wish Quin was here!
