My little man had his First Birthday on Friday, so we had a party for him yesterday. We celebrated on Tyler's birthday so it was a little bit of a twofer (TWO-for-ONE) :) We had a lot of fun and I went a little overboard, but it was more for me anyway, right?! He isn't going to remember what was going on, just that he got cake :) We did a Utah Jazz Basketball theme birthday, so it was a lot of fun with some great friends.Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the food table with the cupcakes and cookies.
Braxten Thomas: 20 1/2 pounds, 30 inches, Brown hair, dark eyes
He is walking all over ther place and climbing up and down everything from the stairs to furniture. He waves, gives high fives, and blows kisses. He can say mama, dada, daddy, hi, hey, nana (as in banana) and bottle. He can sign all done, more, milk, food, and hits his bottom when he needs a bum change. He is a very calm child most of the time and loves to sit back and watch people, unless we are at church. They all he wants is freedom and will do everything he can to get it.
Braxten's smash cake
He kept trying to "high-five" me and the camera
I just love this expression on his face. That mixed with the Wolverine hair and you just can't help but smile and laugh at the little sweetie :)
Happy first birthday little man! I love you more and more each day! I can't believe you are already a one year old. The time has gone by so quickly. Please slow down! Love Mommy!

Build a Bear
This year since we were in Colorado, my Grandma Dickson sent us some money to get something for the kids and us. We decided that it would be fun to take the kids to Build a Bear and have them build an animal just for them. It was a lot of fun to watch them and the kids had a blast. Here are the pictures. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Dickson and Lori! We love you and miss you!
Braelyn picked a pink bear
Braxten picked a puppy
Waiting to stuff the animals
Making a wish and giving her bear a heart
Braxten picked a Jedi costume and a light saber--Really we held up the Jedi and some superheros and that is what he grabbed.
His puppy all dressed up. His name is Pup Skywalker
He decided he was more interested in the light saber than the puppy...
Braelyn dressing up her bear
We first named her Rosey, but then Braelyn decided she needed a Rapunzel name after we got home so we changed it to Bear-punzel.
That was our fun trip to Build a Bear. Braelyn already wants to go back for her birthday. :)

Christmas in Colorado
So it has been awhile since my last post, but things have been super crazy. After Tyler finished finals, we were on to Christmas break. because he was going to be home a lot more, I started working more. I have been working 30+ hour weeks since December 14th. Now that school has started back up, I have told my manager I need to my hours to be a little more child friendly so I don't have to worry about babysitters or daycare. Here are pictures from Christmas; sorry they are a month late.
Decorating Christmas Cookies. Braelyn had a lot of fun.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Once again sorry this post is so late!
