Let Him Eat Cake!

The cake should probably be submitted to cakewrecks.blogspot.com but what else can you do? (Not leave Jane alone with it long enough for her to deform the whole face). I should at least get an award for finding cute cake ideas! Christian was a little hesitant about letting Duncan eat things he probably shouldn't but I say he should get to be a normal 1 year old just for his birthday. He LOVED eating his cake, it tasted better than it looked!

1 Year Photos!

A little photo shoot for Duncan's birthday!

For our Heroes!

What a Difference!

Birthday!

More pictures to come! Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Hungry?

I never thought I'd see this day!

Easter Beauty

This is the best baby in the world. He had the nurse practitioner visit on Monday and he is doing great in fine motor and not-so-much with the gross motor. Of course as soon as she leaves the house he crawls in the kitchen and stands up at the dishwasher. He seems to be changing so fast I can't keep up. He is crawling, babbling about dada, standing up in his crib today and eating like a much bigger baby. Soon he will pack on some pounds I guess! Almost been a year, hard to believe!

Went Private

Went private on our family blog, left this one public just in case someone's water broke at 19 weeks and was searching for some hope like I did a year ago. If you didn't get an invite and you wanted one email me:)

Cracker lover

Duncan has a big appetite. He eats 4-5 plastic tupperwares of baby food every day and lots of baby crackers as well. Today I gave him a particularly messy one!

Famliy Blog

I finally created a new blog for our family so we can leave Duncan's blog for Duncan's growth and health updates. thewhitneyway.blogspot.com I will make it private in about a week so if any of you want to be invited to view let me know:) Took Duncan for his RSV shot this week and he weighed 13 lb 14 oz!

Friday

A busy week ending with a busy day. I got pictures at football practice and at the Ward Potato Derby. We didn't have a winning potato but we'll rest assured that making a speedy potato isn't a necessary life skill:)

Pioneer Songs

I hate to add pictures because that last one came out so great. But this is the actual performance. It was a cute one. Lincoln even did a dance number! Yeee Haw! While looking back through the pictures I realized Lincoln's vest is askew in the final picture, we'll just blame it on the moonshine:)

Pioneer

Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked to school. Pictures of the second grade performance later!

Drumroll

If ever you needed evidence that winning the pinewood derby is a fluke. Lincoln lost two races and won 20! Third place overall, not bad! Really must be luck because I have little or no skills at making cars. Winning third was fun but the best part of the pinewood derby is the many hours his Leader Traci put into making it a great experience for the boys. Notice the cool lanyard idea she had (they called them "pit passes") and the candy necklace. I just love this boy!

Family Home Evening

What's a Family Home Evening without a good game of red light/green light? It works much better at the park. A little Krispy Kreme really helps enhance the joy of FHE. We had a great picinic/FHE/basketball game at the park. We learned a few things during basketball: Lincoln has a few skills, Jane needs a little work. Whenever Jane got the ball she would run to the other side of the court and scream "IT'S MINE NOW!"

Kindergarten Music Program

Ruth was sure awesome at her Kindergarten program this morning singing "Whose fine face is on the Penny . . ." It's Abraham Lincoln, my favorite president if you didn't know:) I love those little moments when you can watch your child be a part of something special. Ruth is such a wonderful little girl!

Duncan True-ly loves his Dad

It's time for a new blog because Duncan isn't showing up on his own blog as often as he should, I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to make a new one soon, or not. But for now some pictures of Duncan True on his own blog!

Train Park

We had a great time at the train park this evening! A little hike + a little train park= a President's Day to remember!

President's Day hike

Perfect weather, great company:)
