par-tay!!

yesterday we celebrated bri's 1st birthday!!!

we cant believe how grown up she is. a whole year old. it blows our mind.

we had a fun party for her and she got spoiled with such fun, cute presents!

she also started walking along the couch yesterday without holding on. 

she is getting so good and will take 3-4 steps at a time by herself.

we think she decided that she needed to be 1 years old before she learned how to walk, so shes been holding out. :)

please excuse my creeper smile. the birthday girl decided that she was not in the mood for family pictures.

she got so excited when we were singing happy birthday to her haha. i think that was her favorite part!

we love our big girl!

bri's friends, the judy's and the prince's who came to celebrate her birthday with her!

aftermath. and yes, she has to sit on a towel because she is too small for her high chair haha.

birthday bath full of cake.

our sweet girl.

bri's birthday cupcake!!

time flies.

its hard to believe that a year ago today, this was where we were.

 all day i've been thinking about what we were up to last year.

at 11:00 am on december 16, 2010 the doctor broke my water.

bobby, my mom, and i spent all day chilling at the hospital waiting for bri to finally make her grand entrance.

and at 2:42 am the next day.....she finally got here :)

one of my favorite pictures after she was born. she was such a sweet and alert baby!

 i cant believe how much my baby has grown up this past year!

we cant wait to celebrate bris 1st birthday tomorrow! 

we love you brielley!!!

also, a happy birthday to my beautiful mom!!

we love you 1, 2, 3, 4-ever!!

spending her birthday last year in the hospital with us!

rexburg's present to us.

today is december 10th, 2011

we have no snow. can you believe it?

this is the first december that i have lived here with no snow.

unbelievable.

this afternoon it was like 35 degrees and the sun was shining.

that used to sound cold to me too. 

before i lived here.

it was glorious! we hit up the park for a little bit for one last swing before winter sets in for real.

 

even though its cold. it is so lovely not to have to deal with snow.

usually my winter begins right after thanksgiving.

its almost like rexburg is wishing me a merry christmas.

how cute is she huh?? love that laugh!
