Playing around with Dad. It's a mailbox that you can open and put letters in. And Holden thought it was hilarious if he put his face right up to it or stuck his hand through
Earlier in the day with his shades on...he keeps them on for maybe 2 seconds and rips them off
If Kurt could have every weekend off life would be WONDERFUL!!!! But that won't be happening any time soon! The next 3 weekends he gets one day off a weekend. The boys he works with got to go to Thailand so he has super limited hours. Boo for money, but so happy we get a few weekend days off together! So we did some yard work, well I should say Holden and I watched Kurt do yard work. We were there for moral support! Holden loved trying to be like Kurt and also loved getting super dirty. 
At the end of the day he was super dirty...he is definitely a boy that loves dirt and rocks!
Oh Jariki! I love her 90% of the time. 10% I hate her FUR that is everywhere (especially during this time of the year because she is shedding her winter coat), her dislike for Holden, and her craziness. She has had such a hard time adjusting to Holden being around. She was used to being the center of our universe and now she is down on our totem pole and still hasn't adjusted a year later! I'm just hoping as Holden gets older she will learn to love him and they will be best buds!
The new penguin exhibit. When we were there the penguins were being crazy diving and swimming and playing...it was really fun for Holden to watch them
Beautiful jellyfish, just don't want to get stung by it!
Holden really loved the aquarium....he was fascinated by the fish and stingrays!
How time flies!
Holden went to the pedi to get his 12 month check-up and shots!
How most of the day was spent..at my feet crying
Picture of his footprints.....tiny!
Playing in the water and loving it!

We had a cooler of drinks and I think Holden's favorite part of the party was eating the ice in the cooler!
One of my favorite pictures of my boys.

Trying to open his presents
Janssen, Brittany, and Holden
Eric and Evy
Flipping...his favorite thing to do
Cake time!!!
The memory card on the camera was full so we have a few minutes that we didn't catch of him digging into the cake...but really the fun part is the pictures of his crazy messy face!
Sums up the day!!! This picture is the best one of the day!
My birthday boy as soon as he woke up!
I made whole wheat pancakes topped with strawberries and raspberries, eggs, and apple juice! Delicious breakfast for my birthday boy.
Unwrapping his present. He opened one present on his birthday and the rest on his birthday party day!
Unfortunately Kurt had school and work on Holden's birthday. He took off Saturday for Holden's birthday party so he had to work Thursday. So here is proof that Kurt was there for a few hours on his birthday!
Later on after Holden's nap we went to Sugarhouse Park with Kerri, Ezra, and Ben. Kerri was able to get some pictures of me and the birthday boy!
I love Holden more than words can describe. He has brought so much life and laughter to our lives. Sometimes I think to myself..."What did Kurt and I do all day before Holden?" He is constantly on the move and learns more and more daily. I can't wait to see what the future holds for him. 
Walking with his hands in the air!
Ezra and Ben throwing rocks, sticks, pinecones, and whatever they could find on the ground into the stream. I think they could have stayed there for hours!
And someone enjoyed eating dirt and rocks!
After the park we went to Natalie's so she could help me make favors for Holden's party. I shouldn't say help...I should just say she made the favors and every once in a while I handed her a few things to help her out!
Looking out the window
Making the favors which you will see on Holden's birthday party post! Thank you to Natalie for making the favors!!
