Milo is 1!

This was my sweet baby boy a year ago! I can't believe how fast time has flown by! We had a fun little party for Milo on his birthday, March 1.

Here's a video of Milo, Ava and Blueberries.

Ava can be very entertaining to Milo.

Fourth Folder, Fourth Picture

Go to your fourth picture folder, and fourth picture in that folder and blog about it. This was mine:

This was a girls weekend at the beach house for my 21st Birthday. I was home visiting from Nashville for a few weeks and all of the girls in my family and extended family headed to the beach. It was a lot of fun. It is hard to believe that it was almost five years ago! Olivia looks like such a baby! AWWW. Here are a few more pictures from that weekend.

At the end of the weekend I went for my first flight with Danny.

Christmas, New Year's, and Milo

Happy New Year!

Today Milo is ten months old. We have had a blast with him this holiday season. From his first 'Arctic Blast' (if I ever hear that phrase again, it will be too soon) to Christmas and New Year's. He is now crawling everywhere and walking all around the furniture. We feel so blessed to have him in our lives. Here are few fun pictures from the last few weeks!

Another treasured moment with my sweet boy.

Thanksgiving

Milo experienced his first big holiday this week. We had an amazing Thanksgiving Dinner at the Stark's followed by the Newlywed game. It was very fun and relaxing and I am so thankful for both of our families. The following are a few pictures of our relaxing day.

On Friday we went and spent the day with Dustin's family to celebrate Aiden's fourth birthday.

Making a wish

Frosting faces!

On Saturday we went with the Stark's to get our Christmas tree, all seven of us crammed into the old pick up, making it a great memory for Milo's first Christmas tree.

Milo also got to meet Santa

When we got home he helped me unpack all of the ornaments and decorate the tree.

Cousins

I just wanted to show a few pics of Milo and Lucas. I am so thankful that Milo has a cousin close to his age. I remember when I found out I was pregnant and thinking that the nine month gap that would be between Lucas and my unborn child was huge and that they would never be close, but now the older they get the more fun it is to get them together. Milo actually outweighs Lucas by a pound or two (note the last picture).

Making Grape Juice

So I (Dustin) decided I would try a little canning.

I got a little taste of Uncle John's awesome grape juice

and was hooked. So I went for it!

Grapes were ready-

I had a little helper-

Who enjoyed himself as did Mommy and I-

I tried all green, all red and a mix-

add a little sugar-

warm water-

and can-

After awhile, take out of the canning,

let lids pop, and drink away!

or...

store for later!
