Party Time

It's been almost a week, but last Sunday we invited a few friends and family over to celebrate Elle being a year. This picture was taken as she was about to dive into her bunny cupcake for the 2nd time (check out the frosting on her nose).

Elle's 1st Birthday

For Elle's birthday supper we had pizza made on tortillas, one of her new favorites! She ate more than her brother did!

Cake time! Ike helped Noelle blow out her candles, and then it was time to eat. It was her first piece of cake (at least that we have given her). She loved it (of course)!

She ended the day by opening gifts sent by family from home. She was pretty tired though, so wasn't completely interested.

What a difference a year makes!

Here are a couple pictures of Noelle from when she was just a couple days old.

Noelle's 1st Birthday

Tomorrow is Noelle's 1st birthday. It is crazy how quickly the year has gone! So, in typical Andy and Kris fashion, we gave Noelle her gift a day early (not that she knows). She loved racing with her brother around our courtyard!
After Noelle went to bed, Ike and I made her a birthday cake. We'll post pictures of her actual birthday tomorrow.

Looking sweet and innocent

Saturday we got home from church and Andy went to work taping what will be Ike and Joe's room so that he could paint it today. Ike slept, so Elle and I spent time playing together. I couldn't resist posting these cute pics of her. Check out the curls....they only get tighter as the day goes on!

Ike's 1st "professional" haircut

As you can tell by the last pic, Ike really needed a haircut. He hates when I do it (so do I), so today we both went to get our hair cut. He actually sat still the whole time! He's never done that for me!!

Side note- Yes, that big black ball looking thing in the background is "Little Joe"

Ike can ride!

Last year Ike got a bike for his birthday. It has taken about 9 months or so, but he finally figured out how to pedal the thing. Before he would pedal half way around, which made for a slow ride. Now, well, watch out. He's FAST!

PS-Uncle Kaare, check out his new Addidas!

Ike's favorite breakfast

Ike loves yogurt. It has become his new favorite breakfast.

My how she's changed!

Noelle turns "1" in two weeks. I recently developed a roll of film (yes, a roll) that I had in the camera for 20 months. These were two shots on the film. The diaper shot is from when she was 6 weeks old, the other was taken a couple weeks ago.

New addition

Here are a couple pics (of course you have to somewhat use your imagination) of our newest addition due the end of May. One is of his hand and the other is a view of his skull with his hand to the left of it.

Yummy, whipped cream!

Need we say more?!?!

We're in trouble!

Noelle has recently discovered how to open cupboards and drawers. Oh what fun lies ahead!
