ONE!

My babes turned ONE last month. I've been in denial but since he turned 13 months today, I can't ignore it any longer.  Miles is still so sweet and calm. I'm pretty sure I finally got one with Kellan's temperament instead of mine which is a relief. He's perfectly content to stay my baby right now and has no interest in walking or feeding himself (we're working on it though). He crawls wicked fast and just smiles if he gets caught being mischievous. He also has 2 teeth and the most gorgeous bright blue eyes and sandy blond hair.  And his siblings still call him Mosey. 

Sweetest baby ever!

ONE!

Presents!

It was crazy difficult to keep Miles and Truman both from diving into the cake so that the girls could sing/blow out his candle.

The Cake-

29 is prime! (I think)

This has been the craziest summer ever! I keep waiting for things to slow down like they usually do in the summer but it hasn't happened and now its almost over! We've had a ball though. So here's to catching up a bit. First we moved and then I turned 29, which I think is pretty great. Surreal, but great!

Homemade cards from my babies. Loved them! I wish I had close up pictures of them all! Also, I think we're a very photogenic bunch (not really=).

29 candles=lots of melted wax and frosting maybe we just do number candles from now on:)

I tried to recreate this cake by sweetapolita. While it didn't turn out as pretty I'm pretty sure it tasted just as awesome. The toasted marshmallow filling was my favorite! Also, (if anyone cares) I used this cake instead of sweetapolita's just because I had made it before and new it would turn out.  

Kellan surprised me with flowers the next day! So pretty! He's come a long way from his days of bringing home potted chrysanthemums(headstone flowers) and dyed daisies (science project flowers=)

One more year of being 20-something here we go!

Sara's B-day!

A week before we moved Sara turned 6! 

She also wanted mini mouse pancakes for breakfast

For her present this year she wanted to pierce her ears. I never thought we would do it this soon, but she's been asking for the last 3 or 4 months so I figured, why not? I actually never thought she would go through with it, but she didn't back down every time I asked if she was sure and once we were there it was over before she had much time to think about it. They even had Hello Kitty earrings for her. How perfect is that?

 Birthday Girl off to her last day of Kindergarten.

Birthday Party! Can you believe this is the first friend party I've ever done? She and Anne practically cornered me a few months ago and insisted that they are only kids on the planet who don't get friend parties. Then they bullied me into promising friend parties this year. No kidding.

That frosting tastes like strawberry ice cream by the way. Recipe is from sweetapolita, whom I love.  

I was nervous, but it went sooo well. She mostly invited the girls in her primary class and they were so so adorable and fun! 

If you hadn't guessed the theme of her life for the last 3 years has been Hello Kitty. 

 The Pinata. Anne was quite the helper! 

 Decorating bags for the pinata candy and Maren, who saved the day and came to help when Kellan had to go pick up our appliances for the new house at the last minute. Her husband went with Kellan and she came to help/save the party. They're pretty much amazing!

Happy Birthday Sara!
