Birthday boy and more!

One year ago this sweet thing joined our little family.

And look at him now! My baby is growing up! I can't believe it, where did the last year go?

We weren't able to go to Utah to be with our families as is tradition for birthdays so we did the next best thing and invited some friends to help us celebrate. Daniel loved the cake.....

He even got into the ice cream a little.

Notice the chocolate in his belly button?!

For his birthday we decided that we have enough toys and stuff at our house so for his birthday present Daniel got a new booster seat so that he can sit up to the table with the rest of us. It does make for a little more mess (especially when he lifts up the table cloth. We are working on a plan to keep it secured down.) But He enjoys being part of the family. And it came just in time as the week after we started redoing the kitchen floor. We had to stay out for three days and had our meals in the living room the booster fit much better on the plastic than the big high chair.

Here is the new tile floor! It was a log, tiring process. We got most of the work done after the boys were in bed each night, making for 12:00am bed times for me and Tom.

But it is so worth it!

Remeber this is what it used to look like?! okay so th picture doesn't do justice to show how bad the floor was but trust me it was, in the words of Johnny, "Yuck!"

Here are a few more random fun pictures.

Johnny for some reason thought he needed to wear the bowl on his head and fell asleep holding it there. Of course he had to have his pillow, monkey and blanket to take his nap.

Daniel loves the vaccum and follows it every where. Occasionally he will even get in front of it and stand in the way. You have to wait for him to move or go around.
