Family Pictures

We got some family pictures taken for Kellan's first birthday. We got a few good ones. I need help deciding which ones to order for the wall in our living room.

I've posted a few pictures below...take a look and help me decide which ones to order!

I turned 1!!!

Hello everyone, Kellan here. Since my mom and dad are so lazy about blogging, I figured I would sign on here and let everyone know what's been up lately. First and most importantly, I turned one! I started out my day bright and early on a ride to the airport to pick up my grandparents. They took me out for breakfast and I gobbled every bite of my plate and some bits of others' plates too. I got to say hello to the pretty little Easter Bunny at the restaurant.




After a hearty breakfast I took a great nap. After waking up I helped everyone do some baking. I learned how to lick the whisks. I enjoyed it.






After awhile, I noticed all the presents on the table and figured out they were for me. I was very excited about that.






I got some really great things. One of my favorites--a basketball hoop. I knew just what to do with the ball.




Finally...what we'd all been waiting for. The CAKE!


Kinda small...don't you think? (thanks a lot, Mom)

I can't believe everyone held out on me this long. I went a year without this wonderful stuff. I have posted a few pictures below to show just how much I really love it. At first I wasn't sure what the flaming thing was on my tray but once I tasted a small bit, I was in love. I giggled every time I took a bite.












I AM THE BIRTHDAY KING!



P.S. Love you all! And I'll work on getting my mom to blog more often!

spring fever!

Today the temperature was almost 60 degrees and the sun was shining so Kellan and I took a trip to the park. Here are a few pictures of him enjoying himself. We had to leave after he decided that eating rocks sounded like a good idea. But we had fun while we were there! I love these beautiful days. A sure sign that spring is coming soon!





Kellan loves the swings.




Look, mom...ROCKS!

a bite for me, a bite for you.

I swear we don't usually let this happen...


At least he knows how to share. :)

11 Months!

My little boy is almost a year old. It's hard to believe how quick it's gone. I'm glad I only have one more set of these pictures to take. He's not too thrilled about sitting for 3 seconds--long enough for a camera flash.

Here's what I got:







As you can see from the last couple of pictures, he loves to destroy things. Ripping paper is an especially good time.

Bird Man

Kellan spent a lot of time at this window during our weekend in Iowa. It was the perfect height for him to sit and watch the birds. Now he just needs a cup of coffee and the morning paper to go along with it!

crack kills.
