Gage is 1!!

Can you believe my little guy is a 1 year old now!

Gage had a great birthday.  The day before we went to the Dr for the 12 month well baby visit.  Gage is short and skinny according the percentages.  The Dr though was very impressed at how well he is doing now (after all his illnesses).  We still have to do formula with Gage since he is allergic to milk, but it's a small price to pay by having him well now.  Gage started walking at 10 months old, and literally never holds still now unless he is asleep.

Family at Gage's party:



Presents:


Gage got lots of presents for his birthday.  The day before my mom and dad brought him a music table toy, a remote controlled airplane, a book, a Lighting McQueen ride on toy, and some clothes.  We gave him a rock, roll, and ride, a toy smart phone, a puzzle, and some clothes - Lyla gave him a play puppy.  He also got a Arizona Cardinals shirt from Grandpa & Grandma Mecham, and from Traiden and Kyah a monster truck and  a book.  His favorite present of all was an Elmo drum set from Aunt Summer.  It's really cute how much he plays with this and taps the drum sticks together - he's such a cute rocker boy.

The Cake:


Gage was hilarious after eating his cake.  I don't allow sugar like hardly ever - so this was sugar overload.  After he ate some of his cake and that sugar hit him - Gage was crazy.  He started running around and spinning himself in circles - it was awesome.  But then we got the belly ache at bedtime - good thing we still keep gripe water on hand.

Happy Birthday my little Gagers - You're growing up so fast!!

Halloween!

Ya, I totally sucked at documenting this!!  Lyla was a witch, me her cat, Gage was a football, and Bill a football player - and I didn't get a picture!  I have these small photos from the day.  We went early to the library for a costume parade, then later in the day to Grandma & Grandpa Excell's and trick or treated their neighborhood, and then to Grandma & Grandpa Mecham's.

My lil football!

The prettiest and sweetest witch!

Staheli Farm

So, last year when I was about 2 years pregnant. So, Bill, myself, and Lyla went to Staheli Farm for the first time.  We had a blast!  We played with the various stuff, petted animals, rode a horse, and of course got a pumpkin.  We took pictures to document our adventure - and then my hard drive on the computer crashed and I lost the pics - I was devastated!  So, this year I looked forward to going back, I was going to document it all and it was going to be more fun because Gage was now on the outside of my belly.  I did document it, and I have pics, but it wasn't as fun.  I blame Bill!  He made us rush through everything and it made me mad so we fought grrrrr!  Anyway here are pics of the fun times.
