Long time no blog. I have been awful I know. It seems that lately my days are so jammed pack that I don't have the energy to sit and blog. I am trying to do better seeing how my baby is growing up so fast and I want my family who doesn't get to see her to be able to share in some memories. Life up here in Idaho is going well. Adrian is working so hard and I am learning lots of things being a stay at home mom. I love being with Aspen everyday. She is my very best friend. We do everything together: shop, cook, clean (she is excellent at vacuuming) and read stories. Here are a few special memories that have happened in the last couple of months.

I love my Aspen. Everyday when I cook anything, she insists on putting on an apron, sitting on the counter and helping me. We have so much fun together and I think my 1 year old is becoming a pretty good cook! Everyday when I get ready she pretends to put on makeup and walks around with her brush doing her hair. She is such a girlie girl but she can still throw a ball just as far as any of her boy cousins! So one day I decided to curl her hair. She was such a good client. I loved her curly hair and so did she!

Aspen was so lucky to have 2 birthday parties. We celebrated while we were visiting SLC with my parents and grandparents. Of course there was presents singing and cake. My Dad made this wagon with the blocks in it. He is amazing with that stuff. Aspen pulls it and takes rides in it everyday. She loves it!

A birthday would not be a BIRTHDAY without CAKE. Aspen is all girl. There is no cake like chocolate cake and she ate all she could and got it everywhere!

Aspen is so spoiled, she got to have the whole Bybee clan at her birthday it was a blast

Aspen had a cupcake party for her 1st birthday! We had so much fun watching Aspen open her presents.

We are proud of our newest nephew Logan. He came early on Dec. 31, 2010. Aspen loves him so much. She loves holding him and giving him kisses. When we were up to visit the Ten Eycks last, she would scream in protest whenever anyone held him except for her! I am such a proud Mom and Aunt, welcome to the world Logan!
