Happy 1st Birthday Ellia!

Jeremy kept trying to tell me we were having "like 10 parties" for Ellia, but in reality she only had two. We celebrated with family in Utah, and with friends in California. Here are some of the best pictures!

Hand made cake decorating - thank you very much!
The tradition is to let her dig into her cake and get all messy Well she really wasn't interested, even when we tried to help her, she just wanted it off her hand




Finally she just crawled away.



She did a little better with her first present





Some of Midway's finer activities! Feeding the ducks and taking a mountain drive up Gaurdsman.





Ah, what happy cousins!


Even if she's not happy i still think she's dang cute!



Cookie anyone? Guess since we started with the sugar treats at her party we can give her a cookie here and there too...unfortunately most of us were wearing light colored pants that night!
California birthday.


Katie is used to containing her 14 month old brother so she was being a good help with Ellia. However, Ellia is not used to being contained by other children!



we tried a smaller "cake" this time. Still no luck, she did get some frosting on her knee trying to crawl away though!

One already? Where has the time gone? Ellia is such a little cutie...and I love the cake eating! (Wouldn't be a first birthday without it)! I swear we just had a baby shower for you at Darcy's house.....

What a fabulous trip to New York....What fun that it was just you and your hubby...watching some good 'ole baseball! (Wahoo!) It's nice to get away sometimes and remember life before kids!

You two are such a darling couple, and it looks like you have lots of fun together.

I think it's time I took a trip to Cali and visited your pool!!!
