Lincoln's 1st & Spencer's 3rd

I'd like to thank everyone who came to my boys birthday parties. We had such a good time. We had a joint birthday party for them at Grandma Hale's house and we had such a great turnout. I'm sorry that some couldn't make it and we missed you all tons (Toledo's, Brett & Becky & Micah, and Christian and Deanna), but overall we had a great time. Spencer had a good time with the camera taking pictures of all the guests so if you see a * by the picture, that was taken by him. He did an awesome job. He loved saying "Say Cheese and smile" and "Say disneyland" to everyone before he took the picture. I have to start him off early, he's a great photographer.

I love to decorate for the 1st birthday bash so I went crazy with the crepe paper and then I put up crowns and 1's with family pictures when they were one on them. Then I put up a picture for every month till their one. I left Spencer's and just added Lincoln's underneath. It turned out really cute. Thanks Jonsie for staying up late with me and helping me. You are super creative and I needed that that night. She did most of the pictures of Lincoln I really just sat there and watched, so thanks again, Joni. I love ya tons!!!

Spencer and Lincoln loved passing through the entryway.

Can you see the crowns and 1's. They are really cute.

*picture taken by Spencer. Cute, huh!! Joni is such a babe!!!!

*Spencer's a great photographer

*Mom never smiles for pictures, so now I know Spencer has to take it to get her to smile. Who can resist Spencer?

So I had done Spencer's hair all nice for the party and when I wasn't watching Uncle Kev decided he wanted to do it differently. So if you can tell, he's Alfalfa now. I was so happy!!!!?

Lincoln after he destroyed his cake. He's wrapped in the tablecloth he sat on on the floor.

Can you see all the cake on him? He loved getting it all over, his dad helped, of course.

This was my first attempt on making a cake from scratch. It was a chocolate pepermint candy with chunks of chocolate inside. I also put some pepp. candy in the cake mix. It was soooo good, it was so much better then the one I made down south. Doesn't it look semi good? It didn't look like the picture in the cookbook, but it still was good.

This is a before and after of Lincoln's cake to destroy. As you can see he did just that. I made it from the reduced sugar cake mix and frosting. I know, I'm a party pooper.

Jonsie gave Spencer this cool DSC sweater. Thanks Joni!!!

Tenille and Kev gave this cute outfit to Linc. Thanks guys, he's worn it a lot!!!

This is Spencer waiting patiently for his party guests to come. It was so cute, he got so excited when someone came to the door.

I made this shirt for him the day before the party. Can you tell what it says? It says " Does this shirt make me look 3". He loved having a 3 on his shirt
