Happy 1st Birthday!

I know, I know...this has taken me a little while to get to. Things are just so busy. Today we went to get Jace's 12 month shots (an evil necessity). And now that he is down for a nap...I can finally update the blog on his birthday. It was so fun, but came way too fast. Our little tyke is just so grown up. Anyway, about his party...We had some friends and family over for a little birthday party. These are all the little kids that came...as you can tell, Jace is the youngest of all.

We also made a cake and sang happy birthday. If you know my son and music...he definitely loved the singing.

Here is a pic of the Eggett family...Jace seems a little confused about what is going on.

Then we let him go at his own cake. At first he just kind of patted it. After he realized what it was and that it was okay to eat it, he dug right in, handful after handful.





Once we cleaned up the mess, (yes, that included stripping him of all clothes except his socks) he opened gifts with the help of the many other children.

A few of his favorite toys! A telephone to call Nana Jenson on.

A stuffed yellow lab! (or "dog" as Jace would say)

He has grown so much...but still has the cutest smile ever. We are so grateful to have him in our life. What a cutie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACE! We love you!

Frosty the Snowman

After having about 6" of snowfall in one night we decided to make a snowman! The snow was the perfect packing type. Jace still isn't quite sure of what to do in the snow...but just wait until next year. We had fun and we are so grateful for the snowfall. It makes the cold weather so much more bearable.

It only takes ONCE!

So....every winter I see everyone out shoveling their driveways and it always looks like fun. I know, call me crazy. Well, because it looks like fun I always want to take my turn shoveling our driveway. So...these pictures are of me shoveling! Yeah, I know I just look great (not...more like sweaty). But just as the title of this blog says...it only takes once for me to shovel and then it definitely doesn't look like fun anymore. I will leave the rest of the shoveling to my wonderful husband for the rest of the winter. Have FUN honey...I love you!

Boxes are such a great toy, Jace loves to play in them!

I never thought he would fit in this box...but somehow he did.

Playing in the SNOW!

So...Here we are playing in the snow for his first time. There is about 6 inches on the ground.
Jace trying to copy mommy making a snow angel...so cute!
At first when he fell face first in the snow he was okay, until....
he realized the snow is about as tall as he is!
Here is Jamee and Jace...some mommy son quality time!
Doesn't that tree look AWESOME with all the snow on it.
This is definitely the first year I actually appreciate the snow...you know because I did live most of my life with out it (very typical of Southern Nevada to not have snow). But this year I do like it...not love it...but like it!
