Xaviers Big Day!

We celebrated Xavier's 1st birthday with Grandma & Grandpa C and Tia Karen. Grandpa chose a great cake and Noah taught Xavier what to do with the candle. Zay figured out what to do with the cake all by HIMSELF...thank you very much. At one point, he could not get it in fast enough so he just buried his face in the cake. Needless to say, Mama got sentimental but it was a great day.

A big brother birthday snuggle!

Wait 'til the singing is done!

I'm going in!

I had to wait a whole year to get this kind of stuff...so NOT fair!

They also got cake!

Jeepers Creepers.... March 2009

Gosh I love these peepers!

Daffodils and Xavier pop up!

In February, Xavier fell in love with the daffodils and started to walk.

My Valentine's

Funny Faces - January 2009

Not to mention the inevitable pestering of brothers.

Day at the Farm - January 2009

We went and visited Laurie, Marty and Aidan at the farm. We were all there but Noah by far had the most fun. He got to ride a real life working tractor and pet a lamb and walk the back 40.

Then we were back home - November 2008

We had a grand time in Florida and on our cruise but the boys were ready to be home. Zay was playing his peek-a-boo tricks and Noah was getting eaten by the giant leaf pile.

So Here it is! The SS Inspiration where my sis and new bro got married. We then set off on a 4 day cruise to Cozumel. (That's where these pics were taken.) It was a great trip.
