Birthday Boys

May is one of our most favorite months of the year! It is the month we get to celebrate the birth of our two precious boys :)

Birthday #1: Jade's First birthday!


We had a great, low key day. We ran errands and played and when daddy came home from work we had a little party for our birthday boy. I can't BELIEVE he is ONE! Why do babies have to disappear so fast??

We love Jade. He has been such a joy. He is very sweet - a mama's boy, and adores his older brother. He loves to make up his own games to play. We love to just watch him play :) He isn't walking quite yet, but he is getting mighty close! He has been the dream sleeper - sleeping 12 hours a night from the time he was 2 months old. He has the cutest crinkly nose face, which he shows when it is too bright, cold, or windy. It is the best! HE is the best!

Birthday #2: Braden's 3rd birthday!




We celebrated the weekend before, because we were lucky enough to have Doug's family here to celebrate with us. We joined them at DISNEYLAND! It was Braden's (& Jade's) first time there and we had the BEST day. It was so fun! It really is a magical place, especially when you have your own kids to enjoy it with! The next day they came to our place and we made a Brobee (from Yo Gabba Gabba) cake and had a little birthday party for Braden.

Braden has changed SO MUCH this year. He has grown quite a bit and has long legs! He has learned so much. He is a little chatterbox and loves to talk to anyone who will listen. He is the friendliest person you will ever meet. In fact, he refers to everyone as "my friend" - even adults, even people he has never met, even random people we see when we are out. He says hi to everyone! He loves bubbles just as much as he did a year ago and plays with them everyday. We have started doing preschool at home and he loves it and is learning a lot!

Happy birthday boys!!

Best Party Ever!


What do you think the best birthday party for a 2 year old to attend would be?

A gymnastics gym!


Actually, we ALL had A LOT of fun! Thank you friends for inviting us to your party!

Foam pits are AWESOME!



And Braden was quite daring by the end of the day! Watch this trick:

Happy 27th!

Happy Birthday Brian! Here is what Brian has been up to for the past year!

Celebrating his 26th birthday!


Going to the Dodger game on Mormon Night!


Going on a lot of hikes and delving into a new hobby: geocaching!


Going on a mini family trip up to Santa Barbara. Here they are in front of the Santa Barbara Mission.


Completing Law School. This was his last day! As you can see from all these pictures, Braden is daddy's little sidekick.


Becoming a daddy of two! Little Jade loves his daddy. As you can see, it has been a big year for Brian! Happy 27th birthday to our favorite man!
