Cookin' with Grandma

While we were in Utah my mom and Forest made some delicious cookies together.

My mom was so sweet with Forest letting him roll out the dough, cut out the cookies, and get flour everywhere.

What a cute helper!

Leaps and Bounds

After over 6 months of being terrified of dogs, Forest has taken huge steps to overcoming his fear of dogs. He was SO brave with Bella (my parents dog) and after only a few days of being around her Forest was petting and hugging her all the time.I am so proud of him!

ONE!!!

Westly Rhodes turned one today!

I am pretty sure Westly is the cutest one year old eva'!
(In this photo Westly was clapping along with everyone getting ready for his cupcake! )

Who wouldn't be clapping for such awesome cupcakes!!! Happy Birthday Westly!

(Westly actually burnt his finger.. OUCH! Thanks Grandma, we are not going to let you live this one down ;)

Once calmed down, Westly loved his cake!

Enjoy the following bazillion photos!

yay!

After being washed up Westly got to climb all over his presents.

Why unwrap the presents when they are so much fun to climb on?

He was not so sure about his toy but hopefully in time he will love it!

Happy Birthday to my dear sweet Westly!

Merry Christmas

This picture cracks me up with how homely they look!

We will be Christmas-ing it up the next few days. Including: only wearing Winter sweaters, drinking lots of hot chocolate, looking at lots and lots of Christmas lights, going to a live nativity, and spending all our time as a family.

Merry Christmas!
