Happy St. Patrick's Day

You can't have St. Patrick's Day without some kind of green food!

Wipe Boards

I saw a similar idea on another blog and I LOVED it, so I decided to make my own. It was super easy. All you need is a picture frame (dollar stores are a great place to get them. If you don't like the color you can always spray paint it the color you want), material (I used burlap on most of them), vinyl, and ribbon if you want to embellish it. If you are interested in ordering one, go here or email me what you want at speakingvinyl@gmail.com. They would make a great gift for Mother's day. I was thinking it would look cute with someone's name on it, a big frame with a calendar on it, or whatever you can think of!

Tean Walking A Lot!

Tean took his first steps the Friday before his first birthday. Since then he has slowly been taking more steps. This past week he has been walking all over the place. He loves to walk!

Happy Birthday to Me!

The 27th of Feb was my birthday. We went down to Utah the day before and spent the weekend. Jake had a meeting for his work on Friday, and on Saturday we spend the day with my family. We had a lunch and played games at the church with most of my family. We had a great day spending time with family. In the evening we went with Nathan and Daisy to a ward activity they had for adults. After we went bowling for my birthday. I had a great day!

Tean walking

Tean started taking his first steps a few days before his first birthday. The last week or so Tean has been standing up on his own and trying to walk. Last night he was standing up and trying to walk for about 10 minutes. We were thinking, "too bad my parents (moons) aren't on Skpe right now because then we could show them Tean walking. Then it dawned on us, why don't we just video tape him. Duh! Tean was doing a lot better than in this video. He was getting tired. Soon he'll be running around before we know it!

Wearing food

"Do you think I'll get the nutritional value if I wear the food on my head?"

Just like Daddy

I think he's learning from his daddy!

One Year Pictures

My sister-in-law took Tean's one year old pictures. Isn't he cute? Thanks a lot Tami!

Visit to Vegas

This past Sunday night, Tean and I went to Vegas to visit Marlaina and her family. Tean had his very first plane ride. He did pretty good on the plane, except for wanting to crawl on the floor during landing and getting really mad because he couldn't. We had a great time visiting with Marlaina. Tean had fun playing with her kids. One night, we weren't paying much attention to Tean, and Marlaina looked over, and Tean was sitting on top of Broyden while he was in his bouncer. Broyden didn't seem to care. It was pretty funny. I wish I got a picture. Tean liked playing with Broyden and helping him put stuff in his mouth. On our last day, we went on a walk. Tean didn't like the wagon very much, but was happy once he got moved to the stroller and we were walking. Thanks Marlaina for letting us come visit for a few days!

Teancum's First Birthday!

Yesterday, Tean turned one! Boy, does time sure fly! We had a birthday party for his birthday and invited some friends. Since it was also Jake's brother's birthday on the same day, we invited him and he had some cake too. Tean enjoyed his presents, and got mad at me when I took him away from his presents to go eat cake. Once he tasted the cake, he didn't mind. Tean didn't want to blow out his candle. He tried, but didn't have enough air, so I had to help him a little bit(the cake Tean got to dive into)He was a little hesitant at first to try the cake, but once he got a taste of it, he thought it was great that he could eat all he wanted. wondering if he could eat the ball. Yes, the ball was edibleWe love Tean so much and we are so glad he came to our family. He makes us laugh all the time. In his first year, Tean has learned so much. He crawls like a pro (so much so that he hates to walk with us holding our hands). He loves to feed himself (sometimes he'll spit out what I put in his mouth, just so he can put it in himself). He has taken a few steps by himself and he can stand by himself, even though sometimes he gets scared and sits down. He can say a few words, and mimics us a lot. He smiles a lot and makes funny faces. Tean loves to play with balls and cars. He'll even make car sounds when he plays with them. He's so much fun to have around!
