Annie girl turns 1

Annabelle and my brother John's little boy Wells turned 1 just a day apart from each other. They celebrated their birthdays together and my sister-in-law MiaLisa bought THE cutest cakes for these two. Sadly, I had the camera on black and white the whole time so I didn't get any good pictures of anything.

The two birthday pals with their cute cakes.

Annabelle just wanted to play with the cake.

I couldn't get enough of Wells. He was inhaling that cake and just laughing the whole time. Annie was pretty cautious at first but here she figured out she can stuff her mouth full of cake.

The boys with their cousins. Jackson was especially sad to know they had to move back to Texas. He said "I'm really sad we don't ever get to see them again." We're hoping John gets into residency here at the U despite what he and Misa want :)

Annie after Jared figured out I was taking pics in black and white the whole time.


I don't care how cliche it sounds, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST TIME FLIES!!! It's so much fun to watch Annabelle go through different stages but I already miss having a teensy weensy baby in the house (this does not mean we are ready to add another one to the mix, though!!). She is such a sweet little girl and it seems we still fight over who gets to hold her and play with her. Last Sunday after Sunday school she was snatched up by one of our friends and we didn't see her until after church. Apparently people in Relief Society were fighting over her the whole time. As far as her growing, she finally made it onto the chart. At her 1 year appointment she was 18 pounds!! She seems to be chunking up nicely :)
