I am so amazed that Thomas is already one year old! He has grown so quickly and I can't believe he's not a baby anymore. He's still just as happy as can be...just as long as Momma is around!
We celebrated Thomas' first birthday with a Star Wars theme. We enjoyed seeing everyone and I think everyone enjoyed seeing Thomas eat his cake. It was by far the highlight of my night!
Wookie Cookies!
The cake...It didn't turn out exactly as I had planned but it still tasted good!
I like cake, Momma.
I want more cake!
Please can I have more cake?
Inga playing with Thomas' presents. The sheep from that toy has not been seen since the night of the party.
Who doesn't love a big pile of leaves? While Elsa napped one afternoon, Inga and Thomas enjoyed a little time playing together in the backyard. Thomas had a fantastic time!
One of my best friends was recently diagnosed with breast cancer at age 29...just before turning 30 in August. Amber has been such an inspiration to all of us in how she has taken on this battle. She is an amazing fighter and is determined to defeat cancer! Knowing her, she will!!! A photographer did a photo documentary of Amber's fight and shared it with us all. Feel free to watch the video and be ready to be inspired. And you might want to grab a tissue or two!
Not long ago, my friend Amber found out she had breast cancer. In support of her battle, Thomas and I joined her in the Especially for You Race. She's one tough cookie so we know she will beat this and be even stronger in the end! We love you, Amber!
Abby, Abbey, Me, Amber, and Angie ready to walk!
Thomas all bundled up before the race. It was a cold morning!
We love taking pictures at bath time. I think it's because the kids are contained and can't move before I get the shot! They always have a fun time playing together.
Inga and Elsa participated in the Bobcat Blast at their school. It is an annual fun run fundraiser. Thomas and I headed over to watch the girls run laps. I was pretty impressed by how many laps they each ran. At the end of the race, everyone got a bomb pop. What a great way to end the race!
While Jason worked at Guard, the kids and I visited the Science Center of Iowa. Everyone had a great time exploring. I guess we'll have to go back again!
