A busy Birthday for Boyd!

Working backwards after dessert
Ice cream sundae!
Super happy to eat anything but especially dessert!
The demolition of the cookie ice cream creation
She just likes to be close to the dog
Riding the bike in our new yard
It's a BIG yard so we will be spoiled and sad to leave
Doesn't every yard have an old ski chair lift made in to a swing?
Ohana has learned to climb into this chair and Rigel thinks he's there to supervise!

All in all we are settling in fine though staying with family for a while so we still have another move to make at some point. Boyd got a call at 11:00am today from his new job asking him to start today instead of May 1st. To him, it is a great gift because he is that much closer to potentially being a police officer again... probably sooner than we expected! Happy Birthday!!!

This... is that!!!!!

These are the precious ringlets that I will NEVER cut... probably... be jealous everyone they are gorgeous!
And when wet... this is what we get... again jealousy is ok!

WHY would I cut it? That's just silly.

Daddy to the rescue!

I guess I forgot how horrible it is to have the flu... really can't remember the last time I did. My temp has gone from 100.4 to 102.4 to 103.3 just this morning. It is sucking the life out of me... and snot, phlegm... okay back on topic.

Thank God Boyd's schedule is super flexible right now because I honestly don't know how you can care for your 2 small children with a fever, cough and literally blowing my nose every 2 minutes when it's at it's worst. Boyd has been amazing doing everything for the kids. We've had a couple of sunny days too so they went to the park today and had lunch out in the back yard! Hooray for Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get more fat...

We are not large people. We try to eat mostly healthy. My husband weighs as much as he did in high school, which wasn't much. Today at Ohana's 1 year well baby check, she was off the scale for her weight. At a mere 15lb 11oz our girl needs more fat! She is 24% for height and 6% for her head circumference. So here are some of the things we are to try... heavy whipping cream in her already full-fat milk, scrambled egg yolks with mayo, adding sour cream or cream cheese to foods, maybe some coconut oil in her oatmeal... and I won't bore with the rest. Our girl loves to eat so that is not the issue. She just has good genes and will hopefully thank us in her teen and early 20's! She is healthy and perfect in every way!

P-A-R-T-Y!!!!!

Waiting for guests! Don't I look pretty?!?

Happy 1st Birthday Ohana!!!!!

Hard to believe 12 short months ago my baby girl graced our family at 10:33 in the morning after 10 hours of labor and a few strong pushes! She is everything precious to me. Such a happy girl with tons of smiles for everyone. We took advantage of the nice day and went to Pearl Street for some lunch and playtime with Granny in tow. Check back this weekend to see the 1st birthday party fun and of course eating of the cake! We love and adore you sweet, sweet Ohana!!!!!!!!
