Cole's First Birthday

Today we celebrated Cole's first birthday! I love having my babies on Friday's because their 1st birthdays fall on a Saturday which is such a good day to celebrate! Because it's the middle of winter, we had the party at the Maple Grove Community Center. It was very affordable and the kids were able to play in their maze or in the pool. Very fun! We kept everything simple and just had Costco pizza, chips and cupcakes with ice cream. I made a cake with a Winnie the Pooh theme but the cupcakes were the bigger hit! :) It ended up being just a wonderful wonderful time and I love my baby boy! He won't be my baby boy for long and he's growing up so fast! I just love him and his precious personality!

Playing Together....

Most often than not, they do not play happily together but recently, with a little bit of training :) their playtime has become more enjoyable! Just trying to capture the happy times!!!

The goody bags are done! One thing crossed off my list and a whole bunch more to go! They were easy, affordable and super cute! Now on to the hard stuff......:)

Birthday Cake Inspiration

I'm thinking about doing this design on Cole's birthday cake for his party this Saturday but am I brave enough or just plain crazy enough? I think so! I'll post pictures of the before if it turns out good enough! :)

Valentine's PJ's

Grandma and Grandpa Henderson celebrate almost every holiday with gifts for the grandkids. And this holiday was no exception! I swear, the presents these two got was unbelievable! And all we had for them were some cupcakes and valentines......not quite up to par with the gifts but next year we will do better. Wait, next holiday, whatever it is, we will do better! :)

They both got pj's which we took pictures of to share, and toys, and candy and new sweatshirts and new outfits! Grandma and Grandpa Henderson are awesome! We love you!

Sweet Boy

Today when I decided to lay down on the couch for a quick minute, Taylor thought that I was sick so he gave me his blanket (that is absolutely the most giving thing he could do!!!) tried to keep Cole happy by giving him cars and keeping him away from me and then turning off the lights so it was cozy! I was so touched by his thoughtfulness and it made me so proud that he is my little boy!

Crashed

Obviously I didn't get him down for his nap soon enough. Thankfully he still went down very well with out any fussing or waking up! Yeah for nap time!

HE will silently plan for you,
His object of omniscient care;
God Himself undertakes to be
Your pilot through each subtle snare.

He WILL silently plan for you,
So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God,
In Him you surely will prevail.

He will SILENTLY plan for you
Some wonderful surprise of love,
No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
But it kept for you above.

He will silently PLAN for you,
His purposes will all unfold;
Your tangled life will shine at last,
A masterpiece of skill untold.

He will silently plan FOR YOU,
Happy child of a Father's care,
As if no other claimed His love,
But you alone to Him were dear.

Mommy's away...

So today was my day with my sisters and Mike had the boys and these are the pictures from the day! Wow! What happens when I'm away amazes me! So cute tho!

What?

So it seems that he just puts whatever into his mouth whenever. I don't know why but here's the proof. :)

So Cute!!!

What you love to play with! And Daddy lets you!

Standing & Clapping!!!
