Boston turned one!!!! (And a smidgen of other small tellings.)


Yes, we are aware Boston turned 1 a couple months ago, howeverrrrrrr...I am playing catch up after being a slacker. I was so excited for Boston to turn 1, it seemed like such a milestone! His birthday was pretty boring. I tried to clue him in on the importance of the day but he just wouldn't get it. We were saving most stuff for his party a few days later so it ended up being a kind of lame day. We did give him the present we thought he would be most excited about. Excited doesn't begin to describe the little man. He was scrambling to get to it and it luckily did entertain him off and on throughout the day.
Trying it out for the first time.

He also got some new pajamas, we were trying to get a picture to send to grandma and he was not being very cooperative.


As far as his party went. NEVER AGAIN! Ha Ha, i'm sure he will be able to convince me down the line but that was stressful! I worry as it is, this was worrying times a trillion! Luckily I think it went okay! Even now as I try to pinpoint what was so stressful I have no idea. All I know is I felt like it took me days to recover.

YUM!!!

Is it just me or does he look a little drunk from chocolate/sheer happiness?!


He adores his grandma! I get passed up for her every time.

Unwrapping presents.
He unwrapped the first present and then it was just me for the rest of the time. I tried to find some other pictures of him with his presents and in every one of them I look like a very strange weird-o so just use your imagination! He was definitely spoiled!!!!

HARVEST

We went down for a couple days to give Kory's mom a break from Semi driving in harvest. Okay, Kory did that, I just joined in for the fun of Harvest. 
Have I ever told you how HOT Kory is in Harvest? I'm sure I have because I tell everyone, but if I haven't: Kory is HOT in harvest. :-)

BYU vs Utah State Football game
Not much to say except that BYU WHOOPED on Utah State!!!!! I don't know how it happened but we ended up sitting in the middle of a bunch of BYU fans. Ha Ha Ha. Kory was none too pleased. We had a very fun time though!

Corn Maze Time
It is tradition to go to a corn maze every year. This is the first time we did it in daylight since Boston had a little cold and we didn't want to risk a cold night. We lasted quite awhile wandering and luckily Kory was able to pick out on a map where we were so we could eventually get out. Boston was a trooper and loved people watching. 

My Project
So last November when we went to Maryland I volunteered to do some crafty things for my mom. I was sure I could get them done quickly since Boston was only 3 months at the time. Well 4 deadlines later, and the last week of it I literally worked on it all day, everyday, turned many people down for things, and stayed up til 2:00 3 nights in a row to get it done when my mom was going to be here. Whew! I was so happy to give this thing away!!! It turned out cute though!



And there you have it. There is a quick recap of what we have been up to. Next post: All the Mischief with a capital M that Boston has been up to!
