Happy Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

Today Keith turned one. Where has the time gone? It seems like just a couple of months ago we were in the hospital having Keith. One year ago today I looked into the eyes of my little baby and fell in love. There has not been one day that has past since that moment that I have not thought that I was the luckiest mom in the world. I love my little baby. So this post is for you Keith. Happy First Birthday! You have made you Daddy and I the luckiest parents alive. You have made our dreams come true. We love you with all of our hearts!!!!
Here is Day 1 of Keith's life, 6lbs 15 oz and 19 inches

Here is Keith Day 366

Today is Monday, Keith's real birthday. Saturday and Sunday were his birthday parties with family. He got sick on Saturday and has had a cold since then. But despite the cold he was as cute, as energetic, and as fun as ever.
Here he is enjoying his birthday cake!!!!!!!

Here is cake number one, fondant try number two:

Cake number two, just homemade buttercream:

Keith got a basketball hoop for his birthday. Shocking I know. As you can see he can already out dunk his daddy. :)

Here is keith playing around with Daddy and his decorations. It was so cute, he was eating the streamer, but when I said, "Happy Birthday Keith" he turned to me and smiled so big! Oh I love this little boy!

Practice makes perfect....right?

So I told myself probably 8 months ago that I wanted to make Keith's 1st birthday cake. And since I had been watching the food network I wanted to do a fondant cake. So I thought to myself today, I think I should try it out to make sure I have everything. Step 1: Make the cake. Check! Step 2: Stack and frost the cakes. Ummmm...my cake fell apart, I almost lost half of the top heart. (Apparently a heart is not a shape for beginners.) So I tried to recover. Step 3: Make fondant and apply. Too bad fondant shows every mistake. It is a disaster. But I guess good thing I tried. Hopefully my step 2 will not fail next time.

You are never too old for a nap

To this day it still melts my heart when Keith will fall asleep in my arms. He is almost one and I still can't get enough, neither can Benji. It doesn't even matter if your arm falls asleep or it is uncomfortable, to have such a precious little baby be perfectly happy and content with you is almost more than anyone could ever ask. So every time Keith falls asleep on Benji I try to sneak in a picture or two, especially when they nap together. I have a pretty good collection, so I thought today I would dedicate my blog to a wonderful and amazing father and husband, here is to you Benji.

Here is the very first time they fell asleep together, wow almost one year ago.


Oh, yes Easter morning, Keith did not want to look for his easter eggs. He wanted to sleep in Daddy's arms.


I love this one. As you can tell it was a very long day at church for the both of them.


Just another lazy day.


This might by my all time favorite. Do you see Benji glaring at me out of his eye? Well, the flash woke him up and he is not very happy, as you might have been able to tell.


As you can tell, church really does wear them out. But I have also found that out to be true, Sunbeams are really exhausting.


And finally, my very favorite one. They are just so cute for each other. I really do love my life with these two in it!
