First Bowling Ball

For my Amanda Giraldi's 2nd birthday party, we went bowling with all the Hutchinson side of the family in Utah. It was Jaxton's first bowling outing! He loved it! They have these big props that help little kids bowl by placing the ball on top and letting it roll down the prop into the lane with perfect aim! Jaxton was small enough that he could easily sit right on top of it and push the ball down it! It was super cute! And lots of fun!!

Happy Birthday Jaxton!!!

Happy Happy Birthday Jaxton!!! We had a "Dog" theme birthday party at our house for our little one-year-old. I made a puppy-dog chocolate frosting, sugar free banana cake from a Clifford template. His first word was dog ("gog...gog"), so that became the theme! Grandma & Grandpa Hutchinson came, and the Giraldi family. Audrey Glauser, Jaxton's little playmate came with her family. Jaxton got a tool set, a vacuume, a tent with tunnels, a truck and some new books.

We had practiced blowing out candles before the party so that he would have somewhat of an idea of what to do when the flame was putin front of him. And yes, he did blow out his candle (with a little help)! At first he wasn't so sure about the big dog sitting on his high chair tray, but immediately he knew it was a dog. "Gog-dog-gog!" Once he tasted the frosting, he realized it was a special treat, and started digging a hole in the cake and shoving mouthfulls in. He loved it! I learned quick that a chocolate frosting cake for a 1 year old makes a huge mess!!! Oh well, fun memories!!!

Nate's 27th Birthday

Happy Birthday Daddy!! Nate is super into Harry Potter these days. I have been reading the books and so we have been watching the movies together and Nate wishes he could have powers like Harry and do magic. Sometimes he tries to pretend he is magic! So anyways, I got to work to make him a Harry Potter cake! It turned out great!! Looks just like a castle!! We went to the Hutchinson's house for a birthday dinner and party to celebrate. Happy Birthday Nate! We all love you so much!!

An Early Birthday Present

Grandma Hutchinson got Jaxton an early birthday present. She said she could not wait till Jaxton's birthday because he could use it to walk with. He got a fun toddler bike, and even though he can't walk on his own yet, he loves to push it around. He feels big because he can walk around with it. He is funny, though, because he cannot aim where he is going, so he will walk with it straight into a wall or a bush and not know how to steer clear of objects. So it is kinda funny! But it totally is helping him to learn to walk! He loves it!! Thanks Grandma Hutch!!
