My newest items for my etsy shop! Little bird sticker set, and tea gnome 5x5" print.

I'm in love with hats, especially baby hats! Their miniature! Everything mini is cuter. I want them all or that I could crochet and make them. Maybe I'll take some lessons from my mom, jeanine, or jenny n or maybe from all three! little gnome hat, I think kendall would look adorable as a gnome. crafted by pumpkinhaus

It's official my shop is up and running. There is only a few items, but soon there will be more oh much more :) DaisyDoo

every time I come to my parents house, kendall crawls over to the bird cage, stands up, and starts screaming and hitting the cage. (poor bird) He loves animals, I think he's inherited from Cody and I. I can't wait till this summer so we can take him to the zoo!

I always see family stickers on cars around rexburg with twelve members in the family, but Cody has made me promise never to do that to our cars. So I made one for our blog, cheesy I know. Oh and I promise chuck is on here he just got cut off when I posted it. Sorry cody I know how much you love chuck

So I really did post on saturday, it was just on the nielson news blog. I thought I was posting on this blog. So I'm counting it. Also our cute friends Leah and Josh are at the hospital in labor just waiting for their cute dax to come! 

I've decided

I've decided to take the 365 day challenge... I'm only a couple months late starting. It really wouldn't be like me to do anything on time :) like the fact that I have birthday presents for my brother, cody's brother, and my nephews kaydence and luke, but haven't sent them yet oops. To the point I've decided to post on our blog every day for the next year.... yah wether it be photos of our family, or thing I just enjoy. Our friend Kirsten has a blog devoted to things she adores (whatIadore ) I thought that was such a great idea. I'll just put things I love/adore on our family blog. I posted a couple of hours ago for kendalls birthday, but I'll count this as a new day, because I'm too excited to get started....

I love love love craft pudding www.craftpudding.etsy.com she makes these adorable custom name stamps! I think for kendall I want either the little guy named max or william. The great thing about her is she's affordable and %100 customizable. If one of her characters doesn't fit you can e-mail her a picture and she will create

Kendall turned 1 this past monday! It was a blast the night before we had a little get together at Cody's parents house. It was nice that Jordan, Jenny, and the kids were up for the weekend. Our friends Dustin & Camille, Joey, Rayna, & baby Jude also came. Kendall was so funny, he loved digging in his cake and throwing it everywhere. He hammed it up, loving the attention he was getting.

Cute Olivia & Jenny

a little out of order, but he loved showering as much as digging in the cake

The next day (monday) Cody took off work :) So we headed down to Idaho Falls to celebrate his big day. We first went and took pictures at Sears, because we had a coupon. I think I could have taken the same pictures, it was kind of lame we chose the smallest package for eight bucks. The first couple pictures were adorable,but by the fourth they were all sad pictures of him either crying or looking pissed off. We tried having him stand by the plastic 1, but he would just sit down with his head between his knees and cry. The one we chose was so cute and for eight bucks we got more pictures than I could have had printed for the same price. After that we went to lunch at his favorite Red Robin, he loves the atmosphere of busy places, fun of colors, and yummy food. Our waitress was so nice she had the crew come sing and give him an ice cream sundae. Kendall and I then took a much needed nap in the car while Cody went to Mike's music and Chesbros. We had a hard time thinking of places to go for a toddler on his birthday especially since it's winter, so we went to kid heaven Toys "R" Us haha . We thought of going to the movie Bolt but opted for home since all three of us had colds. All in all the weekend was fun beyond words. I love being able to spend time with family and friend:)

never a straight face for cody this was his face the entire time they were singing

new cutout sheet:) salty dog.... mmm yum sounds tasty

Kendall will be a year old this coming monday and I can't believe how fast it has been. He's such a smart little bug and and has such a fun personality. We are constantly laughing and enjoying ourselves in his company.

He's almost walking! He cruises sometimes runs around the furniture, pushes a walker, and will take four to five steps. He's really starting to get brave.

Grandpa Adams gave him a ice cream cone that had chocolate dipped edges, he devoured it.

Lately he has a need to do everything by himself, by the time he was done he was elbow deep in banana.

He's proud of himself when he can accomplish what he wants to and gets so frustrated when he can't.

haha cheese, anytime I take out a camera he just knows to smile I don't have to make googily faces and weird noises to make him smile for the camera.

With every car or truck he razzes for the it's sound, apparently this poodle (which was an awesome dollar find that I cleaned and doused with bottle of sanitizer) is a car.

Just a happy content little guy!

Well most of the time :)
