Scout's First Church Talk

You have to watch to whole thing to know that Scout had a perfect grasp on the subject matter of her talk - she gave it in its entirety while the mic wasn't working, and then again verbatim so that the whole room could hear. Needless to say, we are super-proud of her.  

He's ONE!!!!!!!!!!

This past Tuesday was Baxter's first birthday!  We had a small dinner party with the homemade enchiladas and Costco -made cake.  Baxter got his own miniature three tiered cake to dig into:)  He wasn't too sure about being served a bright blue cake, but he ended up thinking it was alright.  Our neighbors and a couple of friends joined us for the celebration.  Baxter really enjoyed opening gifts.  At that point in the evening he had realized everyone's attention was on him!  He was thrilled about that.  He is the cutest mama's boy ever!  We love him so much and look forward to his 2nd year.

 He loved the singing.

 He had a really good time with his cake!

 This is Joy with Bax and Scout.  Our kids love her!!!!! She is one of Aunt Lindsay's good friends and now ours too. 

 Baxter got a beach ball, shovel set and a few cute outfits for his birthday. The ball was a hit with everyone.

So I know this is totally WT to have your kid wearing nothing but a dirty onesie unbuttoned, but he was getting ready for his bath.  We took the picture for everyone to see that he can now stand on his own for a few seconds!

Oh, and we had to include a picture of Scout!  What is wrong?  Can't you see her?
