Jace's Birthday Party

I thought I would try cupcakes instead of a cake. No cutting, no serving. I made gingerbread cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting. I thought they were pretty good. I would make them again!

I made the kids funfetti cupcakes and let them frost their own to keep them busy

The way my shirt is hanging, I look like I am hugely pregnant.

He ate every last drop of his cupcake.

We had a rip 'roarin' good time. wow. I am a cheesy mom now.

Bentley playing in the leaves with our neighbor

Jace (and his tupay) joined in too...

Halloween night

Jace wasn't in the mood to dress up...

We went to the Harry Potter house again, Bentley enjoyed it a lot more this year.

We went up to my sister in law Cambria's after for some yummy food and games.

Our attempt at a gingerbread haunted house...

My baby is ONE today.
Does that mean he's not a baby anymore?
If so, that makes me very, very sad. I am soo in love with this baby and I don't want him to grow up, cause that means I will want another baby, and what the heck will I do with THREE kids?!...It would be chaos. CHAOS.
But one day, I am sure to be living in it. As for now, I just want my baby to STAY a baby.
This year has really been the fastest year of my life.
I have heard, "The days are long, but the years are short" Sooo true.
Happy Birthday Jacer!! I love you more than anything.
Unfortunately, I got REALLY sick over the weekend and couldn't have his party tonight, and am feeling really bad about his lame birthday. Good thing he won't remember. :) I am planning on having his little party this weekend. So pics of cake shoved in his face will be on my next post.

Straight from the mouth..

of Bentley

[driving in the car]

Bentley: "mooooomieee.....the sun's in my eyes!"

Me: "Maybe you should close your eyes."

Bentley: "No, you should move the sun."

Me mumbling under my breath with a laugh: yes, son, I will get right on that.

Bentley: "mom? will you open my delicious pistachio? This one's hard."

Two very big words in that sentence. I couldn't stop laughing.

[at Costa Vida]

Bentley walks up to some random teenage boy and asks, "Hey, where's the trash?"

random teenage boy: "um..right over there" pointing to the garbage can with a strange look on his face.

Bentley: "Oh! Thank you."

K..so that one might not be funny to you, but I died laughing over that too.

This kid seriously cracks me up everyday. He is just so funny.

Post Addendum:

I wrote this post this morning before church..Today in Sacrament meeting, while the sacrament was being passed in the SILENT chappel; Bentley's stomach lets out a big, long growl. And then we hear this in a loud voice...

Bentley: "Daddy! My tummy is talking to you! It says, HI DADDY!"

Me, Dallin and the nearby people: quiet laughter
