 Peyton 1 year old

The year my little baby girl started to make her way into becoming a toddler. Having a little girl has been so fun, and she is quite the momma's girl. On this day, we celebrated her birthday with just some close family members and friends. Grandma and Papa Eckman made the trip down from St. George, Utah to celebrate with us.

Then came the BIG moment. The time that all parents love to see happen with their youngest. The blowing out of the candle and their first REAL taste of sugar!!!

Mommy helped in blowing out the candle



Hmmm... this is.... interesting

Okay... I'm still not sure about this

Nah, no thanks!!

If you didn't notice, the cupcake is on the floor. She wasn't interested at all in having a cupcake. So, as disappointed as I was, there were any big, messy cupcake pictures.

But there was plenty of sweet kisses to go around!!

So, I realize that it has been a while ( like a year and a half) since I last posted. I realized how much I have been missing it an have decided to try and give it a try again. Our newest adventure was that of our little girl turned two!! I can't believe that my little baby is getting so big and growing so fast.

JD started first grade this year. The first week was a little rough, since he wasn't use to going to school all day. But he is now thriving and absolutely loves schoo!!

JD 6 years old

We were able to take part of some fun vacations this year, but that will have to wait until later. I thought that starting small was better than not starting at all. Another post to come.... (be patient with me, please!!)
