Ian's First Birthday

We had a great visit with the Uter Family at their new place in Pacifica, CA. Ian & Cooper both loved getting to play with their cousins, Connor & Dylan, and of course, Uncle Nate, Auntie Jen, Nana and Pop Pop. Our friends the Largays came up from Santa Cruz to help celebrate.  
 
 















Hey, who blew out my candle??? 

Hmmm, I'm not sure what I think of this chocolate cake.

Speechless

Cooper's never been a hard kid to put to bed, but since he moved out of his crib, and into a big bed, he's always wanted someone to lay down, and be there with him until he fell asleep. Tonight, he walked upstairs with me, and as I went to get his toothbrush, continued on down the hall to his bedroom and shut his door behind him. Smart mama that I am, I turned around and went straight back downstairs. Chris just checked on him, and yep. he's in his bed. Asleep. Of his own accord. We really can't believe it. (Do you thing it was the threat of toothbrushing???)

Yum.

Thanks for the card, Aunt Carolyn 
 
  It tastes great!

For the Uter Fam.

Thanks for the great firetruck, guys- it’s quite a hit, as you can see:

     

Peek-a-Boo!

Fun with Friends

What a nice rainy weekend to spend with friends...
We took a 12 person field trip on the bus downtown, grabbed pizza, ice cream, and made it back home safely. The little ones are asleep, and the big ones are all piled on an airbed watching a video. Pretty good for 9 people in one house..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just found these pictures of my cousin, Brett, with Ian at 7 months and Cooper at 6 months.
