February 2019



Dallin is 1 year old!

He weighs 21.3 lbs and is 31 inches long. 

Here's some things I love about him...

He sleeps all night (best sleeper out of the 4)

His dreamy long eye lashes

He's a mama's boy, but gets excited when dad gets home

He's opinionated...its a blessing and a curse

He likes to cuddle stuffed animals when he goes to sleep

His big squishy cheeks 

He'll eat pretty much anything (even veggies)

He loves to play with his siblings

He's always smiling

He dances any time there's music on


One year old facts: 

He looks like Grandpa Greg

Most used word is "mama"

Things we wish he hadn't learned is raising the volume of his voice. It's at a constant scream.

Favorite Food: spaghetti

Favorite Book: Brown Bear, Brown Bear

Favorite Activities: popping bubbles, cuddling mommy, making a mess

Favorite toy: blocks and dinosaur that bounces balls on it's back

Favorite friends: His siblings



We celebrated his big day with the things he loves most...family, playing, and eating.









His first time eating sugar did not disappoint!







In lieu of gifts, we asked that everyone bring children's books that we could donate to CHLA craniofacial department. The last time we were there for Dallin's cleft check up I noticed the book case in the waiting room was completely empty. Our amazing family and friends made it possible for us to donate over 630 books!!!! Those shelves won't be empty again for a very long time.





Just a sneak peek of their engagement picture lol


Man, do we love this boy. He is a literal ball of sunshine and I'm so happy I'm his mom.


Porter had a big month too!
He's loving scouts and attending all of the events, like this "Night at the Roundtable".


He also wrote a story at school and it was chosen to be performed by a group of actors who came to his school for an assembly. It's the kid's favorite assembly every year, and they choose one story from every grade level. Out of the entire second grade, Porter's story was chosen!!! I  was literally beaming with pride when I  watched his words come to life. 
His story was about a "Dog Boy" who was a super hero. The actor who played the main character would say, "This looks like a job for..." and all the kids in the audience would shout, "Dog Boy"! I    seriously started tearing up when I looked over at Porter and saw the smile on his face. He created something so incredible, and I  am so proud of him. 





Max is just the happiest kid alive.  Max is so easy going. He makes my job as a mom full of joy, and I love the one on one time we get together. 


The kid will literally make anything fun.


And this sweetness is full of love. She's so caring and nurturing already. Those traits will take her so far in life.
