Lilly's Bday Party in Logan

Weston's 1st Birthday Party: In September, Weston had his first birthday! We had such a great time at Wheeler Farm. We had lots of people from both of our families there to celebrate and had a blast. We ate pizza and had drinks and cake. We had a big cake from Coscto that had a cute caterpillar on it and it said "Happy Birthday, Bug" (Bug is what mom and dad call Weston) but I forgot to take a pic of that before it got eaten. Weston had his very own chocolate bear cake (with oreo ears) that he went to town with. We even had a bouncy room. He got lots of fun presents like blocks, clothes, books, DVD's, little instruments, a piano, dumptrucks, a noisy walk along lawn mower and even money! What a lucky little boy!! It was a great day- but lots of work on the Mom and Dad's part. We never realized what a big job it is to throw a first birthday party. But his smiles were so worth it! And great memories we'll never forget were made for this big milestone. Well, Brett and I won't forget, but ironically the birthday boy himself will! That's okay, we'll have plenty of pictures for him to look back on.
Also wanted to show this picture. Weston's our little fish and loved swimming in the pool this summer!

We also spent our summer with trips to the zoo. There were many baby animals this year from elephant, giraffe, tiger cubs, and even a baby monkey. It was a great way to get out of the house and go for walks. The most recent time we went, Weston enjoyed the playground at the zoo. He loved crawling through the tunnels and sliding down the slide. If I get around to it, I'll post more pictures.

Notice the baby?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Weston loves his pumpkin costume. He hugs the pumpkin, he picked it out, and to my surprise, he actually likes to wear it!...but sometimes not the hat.

Fun in the leaves!

Well, now that I've completely skipped over the summer, I'll move on to Fall. I'll have to do a catchup/review later on, BUT for now, I wanted to say
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The little bug is growing extremely fast. He weights 25 lbs and seems to be getting inches taller by the week!
Unfortunately, Brett and Weston got sick with the swine flu.=( They are pretty much better now, but not 100%, so we're skipping out on all the fun parties and festivities, which is bad timing because Halloween is SOOO fun. Somehow I (Nicky) have managed to not get sick for the exhausting week of taking care of my sick boys.

Tonight, I was thinking we'll carve pumpkins and watch a movie or something so we can still do something fun.

Our family at the Confrence Center. We went to a multi regional steak confrence and got to see the Prophet speak. It was a beautiful day. We walked around Memory Grove afterwards.
