Our Shae Bug is 1! She is a fireball and we love her to death! She loves everyone and her smile sucks you right in.
Shae got so many fun presents!
Don't you hate it when you have a great idea in your head and work forever on it, only to not have it turn out like you had hoped. Anyway, here's her cupcakes.
She couldn't wait to grab hers.
"Whoa, that was intense" 
Shae got her first doll, equipped with stroller, high chair, and play pen!
Dax got a basketball hoop!
The week before, Dax had a visit from Santa at his school. He did great sitting on his lap!
...I killed Brandon's monkey, and I'm quite proud of it! These are some of our favorite things we see around our house this time of year:
And the best one of all, with a special design for this year:
Dax loves the alphabet and knows all the letters really well. The other day he was repeating letters like he often does. I thought he was saying them in random order but I soon realized that he was actually repeating them backwards! He said them from O to A perfectly! Since then he has done the whole alphabet backwards! I'm always so amazed by that cute kid!
Dax usually sleeps on the floor, but this was a pretty funny place to get himself into!
I don't know... at least he's mostly on his bed.
I layed her down for a second still soaking wet to get Dax dressed. I came right back to see her totally checked out.
Such a sweetie!
One minute reading, the next minute sleeping!
Hiding under the covers.
I know, I know, don't put your baby to sleep with a bottle... At least she drank it all before falling asleep :)
p.s. To those of you who check my blog to see pictures of my kids... you got it. For those of you who check my blog to see me... sorry, lately I only take pictures of my kids (as you can see!)
Dax was a pirate this year for Halloween. He didn't quite have the hook figured out but it seemed to work anyway.
Shae was a cute little cat. With her crawling all over the place, it seemed to fit. We went to Dax's school for his Halloween party.
Dax was doing just fine walking around for the parade until...
He saw us! It was over for most of the party for him. He just wanted to go home with me. Luckily by the end he relaxed and realized that I wasn't going anywhere and he had fun eating some snacks, coloring, and doing some ghost bowling.
That was the extent of our celebrating Halloween because that night we got a babysitter and...
went to the Utah game! The kids can trick-or-treat next year ;)
No, I'm not a bad mom, neither of them would have cared!
Yeah, we're seeing some interaction between these two lately. Dax gets right in Shae's face like this to say hi. Unfortunately he thinks it's hilarious to push her down. They love crawling around together, screaming and laughing. I'm so glad they like each other!
Dax! Don't play with your food!
It's so strange to see Shae standing up all the time!
...and still putting everything in her mouth!
