Dean's First - Corn on the Cob

So cute.  He kept saying, "Mmmmm".

Cousins/Buddies

In the last couple weeks Dean and Cole have become best buddies.  Dean gets so excited to see Cole and they play really well together.

Moab

Dean, Shaun and I went to Moab a couple weekends ago with Sam and Lauren Newell.  We did a couple hikes and a mtn bike trail.  I don't know if I am ready to camp that far away with Dean yet. 2 nights was pushing it.  

So, I've been a slacker

I have discovered that I can only keep up with one social media outlet at a time. Especially when combined with the ones I manage for work.  So hopefully all my blog stalkers also stalk me on facebook!  If not, here are some picture updates for the last 6 months!

 First bathtime mow-hawk...my Dad always did this to us when we were kids...tradition!

 Christmas Time.  Dean's favorites were a new electronic puppy, candy canes and empty present boxes!

 

Shaun's was a box of special honey shipped fresh from Washington State.

and mine was a jewelry cabinet!

Dean and I took a trip to the Living Planet Aquarium.

Dean loves putting on Shaun's shoes and boots....

Getting really messy when he eats...

and chewing on everything...teething.

In March I went to a surprise party for my high school friend, Tiffany.  We had a blast in Vegas!

And that pretty much sums up the last 6 months.  Look forward to lots of summer pictures of the pool and hopefully our finished front year landscape!

Dean is One!

Dean had a great birthday! We did a circus theme, complete with a circus train cake and streamer tent.

Dead got scared when everyone was gathering around to sing to him and started to cry. He perked up when the cake came out. He started to daintily eat the frosting on the cupcake, then decided to dig in face first!

He LOVED Papa and Grandmas gift - a push along toy that looks like a CAT tractor.

But even with all the new toys, books, and games...Dean spent the next day playing with balloons in the front room :) Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate Dean's first birthday with us!!!!

Following in his Dad's music loving footsteps!

Love this face!

It was hard to catch this Popeye/Stinker face on camera! I love it!
