Another Year...

I'm another year older today and I don't really feel it. Well, actually some days I do feel old, but not today! My birthday started yesterday when Jay decided to give me my present. Last night I was cutting cake for Caden when Jay came in room with this goofy grin on his face. Well, behind his back he was holding this.... The Blackberry Pearl that I have been wanting.. I was in shock - especially since I know how much Verizon charges for these phones. He said it was between the phone and a new Coach purse and he didn't see the purse as an investment like he did the phone (such a practical man!). I absolutely love my phone. He activated everything last night so that I would be able to use it today! Thanks babe - I love it! You are the absolute best ever!!!
Here's the cake Caden and I made. I thought it would be a fun Mommy/Son activity. He decorated so nicely. He loved licking the spoon and eating the frosting - the only part he'll eat..
Today we went on a trip to Mesa to play and visit with a friend. Here is Caden at the church building across the street from the Temple. The grass there was absolutely beautiful and Caden took full advantage. He had a blast running everywhere trying to get the birdies.
His oh so famous CHEESE smile.. It cracks me up every time I see it.
The park across the street from the Temple was irrigated, but Caden enjoyed throwing rocks into the water and climbing on this rock structure.
I was trying to take a picture of Keegan and I, but it didn't work out very well.
There's my little man sleeping soundly. He loves this Baby Bjorn thing (thanks Jami - you are truly a life saver!!) This kid absolutely hates his car seat. The second he is put in it he starts crying. Car rides are so much fun now!!
Still trying to get a picture of Keegan and I. After playing at the park we met up with Kristina and had lunch at Burger King. Caden was in heaven playing and I loved it because there were no other kids there. We had the play thing all to ourselves. It was so nice -Caden just ran all over the place and I didn't have to worry about any other kids pushing or hitting him (this happens quite a bit to us!)

All in all, I've had such a great birthday. I can't believe how fast time flies. But this past year has given me so much. I have the best husband in the world. He is so good to me and I wouldn't be the person I am today without him. I have the two most beautiful boys ever and they have taught me so much about myself and life. I couldn't imagine a better life for me or my family!!
