FINLEY'S 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!

Oh, Finley had a wonderful birthday party on Saturday! He had such a great time. Lots of our friends and family came out for the fun. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us and for the nice gifts. I can't believe I'm 1!! It sure is Fun to be 1!
Yum, cake!

All my friends and family!

My friends Amber, Lydia, and Ollie. And of course cousin Kendra!

Everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Finley and blowing out my candle!

MY FIRST HAIR CUT!!!! AHHHHHH!!!

So Tim has been threatening to cut Finley's hair for quite sometime now and I've been trying to put off the event. I was afraid I would lose my baby....but I decided it was also time and he'll be all clean but for his 1st birthday party next Saturday. Yes, that's right, I said his 1st birthday party. How sad is Mama about this????? Well, the haircut starting out a little rocky but Dad pulled through with an Orange Cream Dum Dum Sucker!!! This was Finn's 1st candy as well! It was really funny because he didn't swallow any of the "spit" so there was just massive sticky drool every where! He ended up doing fabously and I like his hair cut; he looks like a little boy now though.....

Where did my baby go???? :(

Maddie's Snowman!

Last weekend we had an awesome time having the Madelyn, Lydia, Brian, and Katrina over for a playdate. Madelyn had a blast playing outside with Molly and built a snowman with Brian outside!!! The next day it was really nice and the snowman is now gone but how exciting we had him for a short time! Finley and Lydia had a great time playing with Finley's new toys from Christmas!

Check out my cool Nike Shoes!

Look at my cool shoes that the Kiehnau's got me when I was born!!!! They rock!!!! My feet and ankles have been bowed so I've been having troubles fitting into them because they are high tops. I finally got them on today and they just fit! They help me stand and they sure are fun!!!!

We are finally Crawling!!!!

On the day before Finley turned 11 months old, he finally decided it was time to crawl the correct way.....on all 4s. No more belly crawling and rolling for him! We are all enjoying this milestone very much. Finley is very much as well.....he feels so free. We are constantly pulling him away from Molly's food, we have pryed it out of his mouth a couple of times now!

Other updates:
We all went to Minneapolis last weekend to visit all of our friends. We had Erin's baby shower and the big Super Bowl party between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers won at the end but it was a great game. We also went to dinner with Al and Roxie who was also expecting. Al and Roxie were due any day and Erin and Dan at the end of February....

WELL....BOTH BABIES ARE HERE TODAY! Al and Roxie had Mason Allen on Friday, Feb 6 weighing in at 7lbs 12oz and 21 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well!

Dan and Erin had Mason (yes that's 2 Masons) Daniel on Saturday, Feb 7. Mason Daniel was 3 weeks early, 5lbs 14oz, 18 3/4 inches. Both happy and healthy.

Finley also has 2 new teeth on the top (both on the left side so he's a little lopsided)....pictures to come when we can get them.

Yesterday we had a great day. In the morning, Lydia, Madelyn, Katrina, and Brian came over to play with Finn and Molly. We had an absolutely wonderful time. We just love our new friends! Then Mom and Dad had an adult night. Ashley came to babysit and Mom and Dad went to dinner and a friends' 30th birthday party. We needed that!

P.S. Don't mind the talking or sound on the video. The TV was on and I was on the phone with my Dad.
