I never want to forget.....


I never want to forget the day Trigg reached to hold my hand... Sounds silly to some of you, but as busy, crazy, stressed to the max mom this was by far one of the most amazing things, and something I never want to forget. 
  It was July 13th his 1st birthday... We were walking down the hallway in church during sacrament meeting. Doing the usual laps around the church hallways when Trigg stopped, looked up at me with those big blue eyes and lifted his hand and grabbed onto mine. My heart just dropped! It was by far the best birthday present I could have gotten. Something so simple, but so sweet at the same time. Since then I put my hand down and open it, and he grabs right onto it. We hold hands walking to the car, walking down the hallway to our rooms, in the stores, and so on. I never thought something so little and oblivious would mean so much to me as a mom. I know this is one of many things that will bring tears into my eyes as a mom. 
   After that I put all my frustrations with life, school, work and anything else away knowing there is so much more to life than all that, being a mom is so much more rewarding! Like I said before I never want to forget this simple little moment, so here it is, journaled and blogged!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Trigg's birthday theme was suprise suprise BASEBALL, of course! Nate kept telling me I was going way to crazy for a birthday he won't remember,  but  it was his first birthday party!! So yes I went all out and it was a blast! 
   We had both families, cousins , and friends! We had a slip in slide for the kids. We served Hot Dogs of course, then lots of salad and fruit! Also popcorn, bubble gum, sunflower seeds, cracker jacks, and of course cake!! 
And a special thanks to my amazing doodler ( is that even a word??) friend McCall for this cute sign she made!! Love it! 
  
Trigg dug right into his cake! It was so cute! It turned out to be perfect! Thank you to everyone that helped make it amazing!!! ( Nate, mom, dad, Jennica, Autumn, Brittney) especially! 

  My sister in law Brittney made both his cakes and I loved the way they turned out! I wish we could have kept his big one forever! She does an AMAZING job, and they tasted delicious! Thank you Britt!  
Notice the NY and A logo's for both family teams. We didn't need any team battling! 

Well until next year!!!! Happy Birthday Trigg!! 

Wrapping up Summer!
