Oakley's First Birthday Party

I can't believe she is already one! It's kind of sad, my baby is growing up way too fast. We had our family birthday party on saturday and had everyone over for soup and cake - it was a lot of fun!

Oakley eating her dinner: breadstick


Oakley's cakes: One for the guests and one just for her (we actually just gave her a piece, that was a big enough mess!)

It was a VTech Helicopter!

A little bit overwhelmed with everything...


Opening present from Grandma & Grandpa Miller. She got a new satin blanket!

Out of everything she got, she liked the string on the helicopter best...

My Little Blessings

I love my kids!

Mr. Farmer

So this summer Dallon was my Dad's little "Toby". He went with Grandpa almost every single day to go "farming". Grandpa seemed to enjoy his company, or at least most of the time, and Dallon definitely enjoyed being with his Grandpa Harvey.

{Dallon & Grandpa}

There was just one problem. When Grandpa Harvey would have to use the tractor, Dallon couldn't go with him because there was no where for Dallon to sit safely. So one day Grandpa found a child-seat for the back of a bicycle and his wheels started turning... Next thing I know Grandpa and Dallon are welding the bicycle seat to the tractor.

{It was a little dusty out there!}

Now Dallon has a seat, with a seat belt, on the tractor and can go with his Grandpa everywhere!
