You discovered how to blow raspberries and you love to do it on my face. It is very slobbery and adorable! This month we went to Utah for a family to Olympic park with mommies family. We went to Park City and stayed in this really fancy house. When your Grandma, Alyse, the Wilsteads, you, and I were shopping for food for the weekend, we went to Costco and to Wal-mart. When we were leaving Wal-mart it started to rain HARD. We were just driving nice and slow and I looked behind me and saw a tornado. I just yelled to Aunt Alyse DRIVE. She went pretty fast! Then we had to pull over, because the hail and the storm was so bad. Aryelle called us and said that she watched an entire bush be pulled out of the ground in front of her. After we found out that a lot of homes had been destroyed, so we were lucky that nothing happened to us! We also went to Olympic Park where they train for the Winter Olympics. We also went and shopped at the Outlet malls, while Grandma and Grandpa watched ALL 10 grand-babies. They said I don't think we are going to do that again. We also took family pictures and they ended up really cute! You are really getting good at throwing tantrums. Then October we had a family reunion with the Blauer family. We went to upside down tumbling for an hour. You loved it there! The trampolines were your favorite part. You would barely even share with anyone. Then we went to the straw maze. There was a corn kernel pit that you and I had so much fun in. Then there was this big bouncy mt that we had trouble getting you off of. We went in the straw maze and got royally lost. Even the 3 of us got SUPER lost and couldn't find the family. Finally we got back together and had a guy help us out, but half of us got left behind. Then once the guy came back he finally led us out. Then when were going to get some pumpkins. We all loaded up on to the tractor pull, then the tractor crapped out. So we just went and ate at Shon Hings. It was a pretty fun reunion.

Maryland

This was quite the exciting trip for both of us. You had just turned one and had a big party with friends, and family. The next day we went to the airport and flew out to Maryland.

 For your birthday we went to Grandma Wendy's house and had your party there. The Sam Peterson family was there, the Allreds, The Hutchinsons, both set of grandparents, and the Ludwigs came too. We had a superhero theme. We made all the kids capes and arm cuffs. We also played pin the bat symbol on Batman. We had some yummy cake. Your dad went to get pizza and a Mylar balloon filled before the party, but the dollar store wouldn't fill it up so you didn't get your balloon. :( We had tons of fruits and veggies. We all had a good time. In the other room, we got out grandma's pool and put the ball pit balls in it, and all the kids had fun in it. You were pretty cute opening your presents. You would get really excited, then I would show you a new one and you would get excited. You loved the cake. At your cake smash photo shoot you had no interest in the cake. I pretty much had to force you to eat it. But you must prefer yellow cake, because you scarfed that down. It was a fun party and I am so glad that I get to be your mom!

So we are really just planning our trip to Maryland and also planning your birthday party. You are growing so fast. You still love going outside, through the doggy door. You show me that you are hungry by grabbing a handful of dog food. You still don't enjoy eating food. You still are drinking formula and only eating very rarely. You still like to babble and are not saying many words. I am super worried to fly with you. I feel so super worried every time I think about it, I go into full panic mode. Lucky your party is keeping me distracted.

I cannot believe that you are almost one it is so crazy to think that it was almost a year ago that our life changed when you were born! We are getting ready to go to Maryland we are going the day after your birthday. You are starting to walk so much better. You are starting to throw pretty funny tantrums. You throw your body to the ground and it is adorable. Or you put your head down and cry.  The olympics started on the 5th so we watch them regularly they take up a lot of our nights. You will sometimes watch with us, but you really wish we wouldn't watch it. We went to Chipotle and discovered you LOVE guacamlole. You won't eat avocados plain they have to be made up into guacamole.

I kind of fell of the wagon writing these posts. Today I went to a seminar on photography in Twin Falls. So you spent the morning with Grandpa Nolan. Then when we arrived back in Pocatello we went to Pack Meeting. We have been going to book babies and family story time. You have really started to enjoy going to these. You have loved it before , but you have really started to love and interact. You are a little flirt and it is so adorable. You are sleeping better in your crib, we will see if you keep that up. We finally bought your bike trailer. I go biking once a day and you like it and hate it. You cannot really decide. You started following your daddy around like a tail it is adorable.
