"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Waverly's 1st Birthday Party

We kept things pretty low key for when it came time for cake and presents. My parents came over to help blow out THE candle on the cake.

Court gave me a hard time for making our baby girl's cake all brown. "What, were they all out of grey?" he joked. Maybe not the most effeminate, but ALL chocolate frosting was sure to pay off in the obligatory 'cake frosting in the hair, nose, eyes and ears photo.'
For some reason, Waverly did not want to be any where near that cake once the candle was lit. It IS her party and she CAN cry if she wants to!

We started the cake process very sweetly and in moderation.

But, soon her gluttonous rage took over.


As soon as she finished we gave her the best gift of all---a shower. As soon as Court turned on the water she went a running for it.

Aaaaah, Happiness!

It is hard to believe that our babies are one and almost one isn't it!? Cole is 4 on Saturday and I can't stand it! Stop growing boys!
