Silly Dude

My mom took this picture from his birthday. I laughed so hard. This is just so him. Especially that day. Little stinker.

Monster Bash Fail

It was a fail. We decorated all day Sunday. The backyard was a
Insurer playground with balloons everywhere. It looked awesome. 10 minutes in mother Nature decided we didn't need to have a party. She huffed and puffed and poured down rain. The decorations were ruined. We all crammed into our house for cupcakes and root bear floats. We watched Cash kill his cupcake. Steven had made a slides how of Cash's first year that played on the TV. That was sweet. Things started to calm down. I was heart broken but the party wasn't a total disaster. We saw family and had some tummy treats. Cash saw tons of family and loved chasing his cousins around. Cash was given some pretty cool toys that he loves.

So maybe it wasn't a fail? Maybe it was a learning experience. Next year we will be at the park. Maybe the splash pad....? The zoo could be fun....:)

Update: Cashmania!

Hello blog world. It has been a while. When I try to use my laptop when Cash is out and about he tries to rip the screen off and gets so mad when I won't let him. When he is sleeping I try to clean up some of the messes we have made, start dinner, shower, laundry, brush my teeth, and rest if I have time.

Being Cash's mom has been a full time job. I love him so much. He is so much fun. He loves Finding Nemo right now. He points at the TV and says "fwysh". Steven and I took him to the Aquarium. He loved it. I honestly think he could stay there all day.

Our little man will be 1 in a week. I can barely believe it. Has it really already been a year? Was I seriously 9 months pregnant this time last year? I was so swollen and sweaty. YUCK!

At 11 months Cash started walking. Yep, taking steps. That quickly turned into strides and now I swear he is running! He is almost a professional walker. Squid hates it. He gets chased all over the house. Poor kitty.

A lot of our friends are having kid #2, #3, and even #4 (I'm talking about you Jake and Toni). How do you do it? How do you get not just yourself ready but your handful of kids? I can barely get Cash and I ready before one in the afternoon. I am terrified to have another kid. I know Cash needs to be a big brother but how can I survive a toddler while being pregnant? What about after #2 makes his/her appearance? How do I put a baby down for naps with a toddler? Or BF the baby with Cash? Will he be jealous? Will he start wanting a baby doll (judge if you must but I will not let him have a doll)? Will kid #2 be terrible?

Cash has been a handful but also so easy in some aspects. He is just an awesome person. He has a wonderful personality. I love him.

 I will try and update more often. I will try and post his birthday pictures too.

March Birthday Madness!!

Holy cow! March is a busy birthday month. Here is how it goes for us.....

Our niece Allie starts off the month on the 9th. She turned 8! Her baptism will be on Cinco De Mayo. How exciting!!! My MIL and I took her shopping to find a birthday/baptism dress. I think she had a lot of fun. I know I did. Cash loved hanging out all day with her too. He just loves all his cousins.

Then Jack - my little brother - turned 10 on the 13th! He was up here visiting for his spring break. So we went to dinner Monday night, went to Ogden Tuesday to see Mae and Savannah, Wednesday morning I made him his favorite breakfast. Ham, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and pancakes! Yum! 

March 15th was my lovely Mother-In-Law's birthday. We won't say how old she is but I will say she DOES NOT look her age at all!! Connie is a great MIL. I hope she likes her gift! ;)

My beautiful mother turns....well....she has a birthday on the 19th. We will be in Saint George to celebrate with her! 5 whole days! We leave Sunday! I can't wait to see my fam again. 

Savannah my first niece (from Josh and Veronica) will be 5! OMG! Can you believe it!?!?! Her birthday is the 22nd. We gave her a super sassy skort and top! It was perfect for her. I hope I get a picture of her in it. 

The last of the month is a boy very special to me. His name is Squidrow Robinson. He will be turning 2 on the 23rd. He was my first baby. I think he is owed all the credit for pushing us towards having a baby. Without him we would still be without our Radical Casherole. 

So to make this easy on me......

Happy Birthday!!! 

Do you have a month full of birthdays like this?? We have a few throughout the year. It's crazy how our families keep growing and growing. I love it!!!!

P.S. Are you totally excited for St. Patty's Day? I am! A whole day dedicated to my favorite color and Corned Beef! I'm in heaven!
