Derek's Football Birthday Party

 

 

 

 

A few days after Derek's actual birthday, he had a friends football party at the park. His cousin Mason came down from S.T. George, and over 20 other friends came to the party. They played skins against shirts the entire two hours of the party. They all seemed to have a great time!

Derek's Birthday!

 

 

 

 

Derek turned 10 years old on October 13th. We surprised him that morning by keeping him home from school, so that he could go target shooting with Steve and his Grandpa Terry. They took some pumpkins out for target practice, and according to the pictures, Derek did quite well! Around noon, Steve took Derek out for some lunch and then dropped him off at school with cookies for his 4th grade class. Derek thought this was a great Birthday present!

Austin's first haircut

 

 

 

 

I went outside last Sunday to find Austin had climbed up on top of the kids play table. He was screaming for someone to get him down. I noticed how long his hair had gotten, so I suggested to Steve that we cut his hair. Steve loves Austin's natural curl, and was reluctant to cut it. I commented that it would be nice to even out his hair since he has a lot on the sides, but not as much on top. Giving Austin a sucker resulted in a very easy haircut. He looks like a new child with his buzzed hair. This is one of the new church outfits he got for his birthday. Isn't he cute?

Austin the Birthday Boy!

 

 

 

 

We had a birthday party for Austin's first Birthday. All of Steve's family that live in Vegas came out after church! We ate pork and rice burritos, fruit, and cake. Austin got some Thomas the train pajamas, a new church outfit, and plenty of other clothes. From the before and after pictures, Austin seemed to really enjoy his cake!

Austin turns 1

 

 

 

 

Our baby Austin just turned one. I can't believe it's already been a year! He is now a toddler! This child doesn't stay still for a second. He wants to be outside with his siblings on the trampoline, or playing football with his brothers. He is tackled no less than 50 times a day by Cameron, and he actually likes the rough play. We decided to have two separate Birthday parties for him, because of the size of both families. We had a 45 minute pizza, brownie party in S.T. George at a park near Derek's football game. This party was with my side of the family. We had just come from two Soccer games in Logandale, and had a 45 minute gap of time before Derek's football game. With as busy as our lives are, we have become very good at managing time down to the second.
