Happy Birthday AJ!

AJ had two birthday celebrations, one at Javier's with his cuz Mac. Mac turned one on June 5th, AJ turned one on June 27th we celebrated with both boys on the 15th! AJ was a wild man and threw his cupcake all over. Mac loved the cake, but wasn't to hip on the singing.

The second celebration came on AJ's actual birthday. We celebrated with Linnea and her family in Leesburg VA. Good times had by all!

Cool Car

AJ and I went grocery shopping yesterday, while in the store I let him play with my keys. When we left the store and walked outside it looked like the car was running. Sure enough when we got closer it really was! I guess while playing with the keys AJ pushed the buttons in the right order and long enough to start the car with the automatic car starter! I guess he won't be playing with my keys in the store again! The car was nice and cool though! :)

Toot Toot!

I decided to toot my own horn! I was selected as Ogden City School District's Teacher of the Year for the 2009-2010 school year! I was notified in April I had been nominated and had to fill out some paperwork and accept the nomination and then about the second week of May I was told I was one of the top three candidates and had to go in for an interview. I guess the interview went well because I received a letter on Saturday saying I had won! I am quite excited about receiving the honor. So there you go, I have now tooted! :)

9 month pictures

I am finally getting around to posting AJ's 9 month pictures! My sister-in-law Sallie has pictures of all their kids as babies hanging on their bathroom wall. I think it looks adorable so for AJ's 9 month pictures I made sure one was in the bathtub, now I just need to frame it and hang it up. I also liked the picture where you can see his two front teeth!

Chillin'

Kurt and AJ met me down in SLC after I went to a sealing of one of my girls from my ward. AJ seemed to enjoy the ride! Cute pics I just had to show them off!

Memorial Day 2009

Memorial Day at the Huntsville Cemetery has been a tradition for as long as I can remember. I enjoy getting together with family and remembering those who have passed on.

After visiting the grave sites, we went back to Don & Linda's for a picnic. AJ was sitting in his car seat and he threw up. Kurt was nice enough to take care of him...although I must say Moms and Dads do things a bit different. Kurt took the hose and squirted everything down with AJ still buckled in the car seat! I looked over and shuttered at the idea, but AJ seemed to enjoy it and Kurt was having fun cleaning up the mess so all turned out fine!

First Zoo Experience

Kurt and AJ joined me for our annual school field trip to Hogle Zoo. It was great to be there with my family! AJ was much more interested in the fences and wires than the animals. He was taking it all in! Kurt and I enjoyed spending the time together with our happy boy!
