1 Year Old!

Holy cow does time fly! Just yesterday she was born and now she's trying to walk! So we had the family reunion last week. And a week before that we had Vanessa's b-day party. (I have a huge video for you Chelsea!) I'll try to get it on here. I don't know how much space I can use up! Anyhoo. We had a b-day party with a few families from our Stony Point ward and Ryan and Jah, and the Whites from Sebatopol. The kids played in the sand and water and with chalk. It got all over Grandma Steven's home! Shhh, don't tell her! Ha! It was so much fun. Lorien tried to be in charge. She would tell the kids what to do. And we had a water balloon toss (since I didn't have enough balloons to have a fight) And one of the older kids was trying to get me with a balloon so Lorien started crying and saying "don't get my mommy!" It was very sweet. So the balloons ran out. Vanessa ate two cupcakes. Then the only time she cried was when we took away the toy mower so she could open other presents. Two days later we went to Utah. Vanessa had an awful time. So did Lorien. They both did not eat. Lorien threw up the night before because she was so worried about the long drive. Fortunately Vanessa did not throw up. Then both the girls got diarrhea. And then it was time for the family reunion. . . .
