Chronology of Cake from a One Year Old

Ooh...fire...on a cake!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't want cake!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Huh...that's not so bad...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, smush into my clothes and hair, add a little milk...
this is the good life

I Love You, Monster Truck

Hole-in-one!

Eric played miniature golf at a birthday party today. Not only did he NOT injure anyone (in fact, he got hit with a club by another kid), but he did pretty well and even had a hole-in-one!

Happy Birthday Party!

How hot is it? My camera lens fogged up during the cake pictures and was not able to recover in time. Luckily, Emmett's actual birthday is next week, so we'll be sure to document the event indoors ;-)

Mr. Monkey

Blokus Pokus!

Blokus is a great family game...even Eric is able to play and hold his own (although he does get some help near the end)!

Trouble with a capital E

Fun & Games

Snugglin' With My Boo

No really, the blue moose is called "Boo."

Lucky 4's!

Or something like that :-)

Jump! Jump!

Love the tongue on Eric, and impressed by how high Evan can jump--maybe basketball isn't out of the question?

Stop the Cuteness!!!

Green peppers, in case you're wondering.

Traffic

Lucky I was coming back from getting lunch...would not have been pretty if I got stuck in this on my way to lunch!

We're gonna need a bigger camera

Lady Liberty

Best Chocolate Milk Ever

Who's been sleeping in my bed?

Baby deer!

There's actually three of them wandering around our house lately, but this was the best photo!

Happy 4th of July!

Water Baby!

Oops

Alternate title: Why I Got Stung This Morning and Almost Cried Like a Girl

Apparently a little family of wasps was living under the kids' water play table, and they were none too happy when I decided to clean all the crud off of the table (I didn't know there were wasps living under the table until after the sting). On the bright side, at least it wasn't the kids that were stung.

I used the telephoto lens to take this picture from a safe distance before fogging the #@$!@^&$ and running to the house for safety.
