2010

2011- Miles makes his debut 

One of my favorite quotes says "Love is what you go through together" That pretty much sums up the last eight years. Each year brings new challenges and for us, usually an new baby. Each one makes me love Kellan all the more as our testimonies of the gospel and Heavenly Fathers love are strengthened together.

Since his birthday is 2 days after Halloween we waited to make his cake. On his birthday we pretty much just opened presents and chilled out.

He loved his present. In fact it was hard to get a good picture of him because he wouldn't look up from playing with it. Also, he refuses to wear cloths most of the time. If he had his way, he'd be minus the diaper as well. Duck tape is our latest friend:)

The batman shirt was cool enough to put on and he actually liked his cars toothbrush until he had to actually use it. 

Gramma and Papa Stevens gave him a Lightning McQueen car. When he opened it he squealed "McQueen!" Darling!

This one wasn't on his birthday, but I love it! Dad and Truman were pretty exhausted from daylight savings.

Finally about mid-November we did make him some cupcakes. He loved the sprinkles. In fact the next day he dumped out the rest of the container and finished them off. 

Blowing them out. We had to light them a few times to get the picture because he would blow them out so fast.

While we weren't watching he took apart the lighter in about 30 seconds. 

Its a good thing this kid is so darn sweet sometimes. It almost makes up for the kids constant messes. If he's not dumping out something, he's taking it apart constantly. I can not keep up with him. I swear my girls were not nearly as constant with the mess making. Its a good thing he's so charming. 

For some reason every time I pulled out the camera today all hell would break loose. 

Cousins- Miles 2.5 months and Max 6 months

Siblings. They forgot to be grumpity for this one=)

 After breakfast Gramma Mai and Papa took Anne to pick out a birthday present. She chose a Rapunzel doll that she loves! Go figure!

 Later that day we had a hot dog roast with the Bird side(My brother and Sister). I failed to get a picture of Uncle Kendall, Cherie, Aunt Tee, Adam and Max; but we were so glad we could be there. We had hot dogs and watermelon and played whatever games Anne wanted us to play which included pin-the-tail on Eeyore, Bocci, and blindfold tag. It was a riot!

 New necklace!

 Sparkly headbands! Lots of sparkly headbands!

 Belle barbie doll with extra outfits!

 This year she requested a Macey's cake. I was a little crushed, but also relieved. It freed up a lot of time to not have to make a cake that day. Plus who could deny her the pleasure of picking her cake out of the big book next to the bakery?

We love you Anne!
