A Night Out

Well I am back. We were having some serious Internet problems and for the most part they are behind us. Last week Trav and I got to enjoy a night out at the Dallas Mavs game. We went with Collins and Ashley from Travs work the boys were lucky enough to steal some free tickets. Doesn't free always make things like that better? We had such a good time and didn't realize that we needed a night out other than dinner and a movie until the night was over.

And thanks to our #1 babysitter who is always so willing to watch Boston for us your the best Mom we love ya!

Games

So the past week or two I feel like Boston and I have been playing games all day long. If you want to play here are the rules

*Boston makes up all the rules
*You never know what game your playing so just be ready for any game
*Boston always wins
*If you look away you might miss something very important
*When Boston says game is over that means game is over

Our first game is if you can't find something Boston might have thrown it away. He is really liking the garbage cans these days. We are missing a couple cars and if we wouldn't have been paying attention yesterday Grandma D. might have donated her shoe to the dumpster.

The next game is called surprise. I like this one alot. This one only has one player and it's Boston. He leaves you little surprises all through the house everyday all day. Usually its cars, but sometimes you get cookie cutters, bottles of soap, socks, remotes, cell phones, shoes, balls, tampons, spoons, pretty much anything you can think of.


Peek-a-Boo/Hide-and-seek. He loves to play these games. If you want to play this game you must know one thing. If Boston's hands are over his eyes he is invisible and you better start looking for him and repeat "Boston where are you". This game is fun to because he laughs so hard thinking he is so funny.

This is what happens when you play a fun game (or so we thought) that G&G Wilson sent him. Boston didn't make it up so he didn't like it. *note he does not like water changing tablets and is afraid to sit down in colored water.

Something else to note is that you need two hands to play these games. Boston as you know carries his snuggly with him everywhere and lately it has gotten in the way of playing these games and whatever else he is up to so this is his solution. Snuggly once stayed there for over a half hour.

Old Times

On Tuesday I got to get together with a couple of my old roommates and go to lunch. This is a very rare occasion living in Texas. We had a good time and it was fun to catch up.


Stacy and I we were the cleaning/germ patrol partners in crime at our apartment.

Stacy, Kathleen & Avery, Boston and I, and Nicole.

Thanks girls I had a fun day with you.

Sure Do Love Him!!

Happy Valentines Day! I love you so much and am so grateful for you.

-we celebrated last night (the night that free babysitting was available) with a ridiculous amount of food from Cheesecake Factory and a Movie-

Today we will celebrate with our little Valentine because we sure do love him too!

Two Things

First: The 1 year stats

Weight- 23 lbs. 4 oz. landing in the 60th percentile
Height- 30.8 inches landing in the 90th percentile
Head- 19.3 inches landing in the 97+ percentile

While we were at his appointment we confirmed two things he really does not like getting shots and his height and head are measuring the size of a two year old. O one more thing the doctor laughed again when they measured his head. Ok Dr. I know my kid has a big head and I happen to love it!

Second: The 1 year pictures

This was quite the experience. My Mom, two workers and I had a good time trying to get him to stand still. Well the 4 of us couldn't quite do it so they brought out the props. So here are his pics with a prop in everyone of them.

You can't tell but the block has a B on it. Don't you love the little poop squat?

Seriously a car you picture people definitely know the way to his heart.






I wasn't a big fan of the gigantic bear, but Boston sure was


Believe me Mr. Photographer if you sing he will dance


I for sure think he is the cutest one year old ever!!!

ONE

Dad and Bobo showing you how old he is.

Happy Birthday to my favorite little boy in the whole world! I can't believe that a year has come and gone already. This past year has definitely been the best ever! I can't even begin to explain the love I have for my little guy but the love I feel for him gives me a better understanding of the love my Heavenly Father has for me and I am so grateful for that. So Mr. Boston here is to you and turning one. I think we will celebrate like this


* Waffles and Berries for Breakfast your favorite

* A good nap (that's a present for me selfish I know)
* Lunch with Daddy at the office
* Another good nap
* Watch a baby Einstein your favorite
* We will all have your favorite dinner Chicken nuggets, Vegetables, mashed potatoes, and of course Juice.
* Open some presents. Sorry nothing to exciting but I am sure you are going to love facing forward in a new car seat.
* Take a long bath because we know how much you love them

* Read a book and go to bed

Sounds fun right? Well we think so and I am pretty sure that lunch with Daddy will be his favorite because he sure does love his Daddy.

Now for the stuff to remember
*Sleep
-11-12 hours at night and two 1-2 hour naps a day
*Words in order they came (the ones we understand but you probably wouldn't)
-Dada, Baba (bottle), Bye bye, Hi, Nana(No no he even shakes the finger with this one), Mama (don't worry I am recovering from the complex of being the 6th word)
*Food
-Chicken nuggets I am pretty sure that 90% of his body is full of them, waffles, oatmeal, vegetables loves em all, fruit loves it all the dried fruit is our life saver, apple sauce, yogurt, teddy grahams, mashed potatoes, and juice are some of his favorites.
*Tricks
-Walking we finally got it on camera he is really good at playing a dead man once we pull out the camera,

waving, dancing, throwing his bows back, blows kisses, growling, driving cars, pointing when he reads, flushing the toilets, kicks balls, can open and clean out any cupboard in seconds, tackles Dad, and gives very good loves.
*Clothes
-Thanks to his Grandmas he has alot. He wears 18-24 month on top 12-18 on bottom and a size 5 shoe!

We sure do love you Boston and thank our Heavenly Father everyday for you. Thanks for showing us what true happiness is and for being our entertainment and believe me you are good entertainment. Love you Bobo

Party Time

On Saturday night we had a little Birthday party for Boston. I know it's kinda pointless to do a party for a one year old but we had fun. Boston wasn't as into his cake as much as I thought he would be. He loved the frosting but even more he loved the ice cream. Talk about one proud Mom I can see him and I this summer sitting outside enjoying a bowl together. Hey may not look like me but at least he loves one of my favorite things. Everyone was so nice to bring him gifts. He got more cars, books with cars in them, and some very cute clothes. Thanks to everyone who came we really appreciate it.

Travis thought it would be fun to give him a little boost for his party. JK

I made these cupcake cones they turned out pretty cute and I think they were a hit

I was going to make a car cake but was a little overwhelmed so I decided to draw cars on the cupcakes and as you can see after two I gave up because I'm pretty sure you cant even tell what they were.
