Liam's First Birthday

Once we got home from Hawaii, I got to put together a first birthday party for Liam!

It was so much fun decorating for this party and I was so excited for it!! First birthdays are kind of a big deal to me. I just think it is so fun to celebrate and spoil your 1year old. And the cake smash is to die for! It is so much fun to see them discover sugar for the first time

and just dive right into that cake!!

People who were able to attend:

Nana & Alesha

Grandma & Grandpa

Katie & Grant

Dads Uncle Steve & his Fiancé

Matt & Rachael Gregson with the twins

Liam was definitely spoiled this 1st birthday!

He got so many fun gifts from his grandparents and mom and dad

I enjoyed spoiling him though, I think that is the fun part about being a parent!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!!

Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we are so grateful you are ours!

You have the sweetest and loving heart!

You really know how to win your mommy over!!

Love you Bubba!!

Here are the pictures of the party!

The cake everyone else got to eat.

from Costco of course

Liam was not a fan of the singing once again.

He did not like what he saw in the mirror.

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

OUR HOSPITAL STAY

Throughout my pregnancy I was continually told how everyone was so excited to get home from the hospital after delivering... So I was expecting that I would be that way too. They told me that they hated how the nurses would have to come in and check on you every hour and wake the baby to check the babies vitals also. and I understand, that could get very frustrating.... Some people told me the food was horrible, and the nurses were mean and would not help out much. That basically they just treated you like another patient and didn't care that this was your special moment with your new baby. So needless to say I was kinda nervous for this hospital stay. I did not want to have that terrible of a time. ............... Well my hospital stay turned out very different from what I was expecting. My nurses were absolutely amazing the food was fabulous the pediatricians were so kind the service was impeccable and ...

THE FIRST TRIMESTER

My first 3 months of pregnancy went by so fast. It probably had a lot to do with us moving and spending a lot of our time packing and playing in the sun as much as we could before heading towards rainy Oregon. I was also very blessed with good health. I have been lucky enough to miss all the first trimester sicknesses you hear about. The only thing that has sounded gross to me is sweets. Candy Baked goods & Soda you name it, it all sounded gross to me. Which I guess is a blessing! All I wanted to eat was fruit, pasta, & pizza. They weren't true craving though, just whenever I would try to think of what I wanted to eat it was always fruit in my head first. I hope it stays that way the rest of my pregnancy because I could definitely handle that! Because of moving to Oregon we have not been able to go to the doctors on a regular basis because of the whole switching insurance stuff, which is fine because it is only the first trimest...
