My handsome husband turned 25 this year on sept 28! We had a movie night outside with his family and had cake, ice cream and treats ;) it was so much fun! We love to celebrate birthdays!! Devin is my best friend and I love him so much! He works so hard and is the best husband and father. Happy Birthday love!

Aurey Jae Allred

Aurey Jae made it to us! My cute sister Debbie had her a few weeks ago and I can't get enough of this little one! She has the sweetest little spirit and I can already tell we are going to be best friends ;) ha at least I hope. We all love her, especially her big sister Anistyn. She is so sweet and wants to teach her everything she knows about everything! The delivery went great and she was a healthy baby! Couldn't have asked for more for my sis and niece! Oh how i love that family ;)

Sis Jordan Welch and the Lion King

I had the opportunity to go see the Lion King at the Capital Theatre with some of the gals in my family. It was awesome! It was better than I imagined! If I could be anything when I grow up it would be a Broadway dancer ;) They are crazy good and it looks like so much fun! What a great show and a fun night!

   My best friend Jordan left on her mission ;(! I miss her already. She has been gone 5 1/2 weeks and she is doing amazing! I was able to go see her off at the MTC... it was sad to see her go but I am so excited for her, and jealous of all the experiences she is going to have!
   
   

It's my birthday...

I had the best birthday ever this year!!! It started out with dinner at los hermanos with the family, cake and home made ice cream and then a surprise trip to my favoritest place ever...Disneyland! Devin and I had originally planned to go to st george for my bday. As we were getting into St. George around midnight Devin told me we had to get up early because we were heading to Cali in the morning!!! aaahh it was so awesome! We had so much fun and had so much fun spending some time together before Devin's busy fall semester ;) Thanks honey and family for making my bday so special! I love you!

Drake

We just took Drake for his one year appointment and here are his stats!

height: 31 inches, 50 to 70th percentile
weight: 23.2 lbs, 50 to 70th percentil
head: 97 percentile (can't remember the measurement)

He is definitely growing up and getting bigger. He has been to fun to watch. He is a curious fellow and all over the place. My good friend Jacquel took his one year pictures for us and they turned out great! She does such a great job! Drake was little difficult as always but we had fun and got some great shots..enjoy ;)

Party time ;)

We had a fun little birthday party for Drake this week! Some of our friends and family came over to swim and had an awesome cupcake cake and some divine homemade ice cream thanks to Jordan, Marci, and my mother! We had so much fun and were so happy how it turned out. Thank you so much to everyone who came and celebrated with us and thanks for spoiling Drake. We have tried on and played with every single thing he got and he just loves everything!!! So thank you so much! Drake had a great birthday!

Mom and Drake with the AWESOME and DELICIOUS fish cake!

So we had a bit of an incident with the birthday candle! Being not a very smart mom I lit the candle and put the cake in front of Drake and of course that was the first thing he grabbed was the flame. He burnt his finger and started to cry..that's the point he decided he was done. Poor thing! I ruined his first cake experience and I feel so bad. I had to help him eat it so I could get a few pics. He decided to have some later though because it was just too delicious not to try! (Thanks Jordi ;))

Aunt Deb to the rescue with some ice!

This is him right after the incident

Then it was present time!!! He didn't quite get the concept at first of course but ending up having a blast!

Drake on the morning of his birthday! What could it be?

Grandma and Grandpa Dunlop got him this Buzz Lightyear car. He loves it. It has so many buttons and makes so many noises!

The loot! He made out pretty well this year the little stinker. Thank you so much to everyone who made his birthday so fun and special! We just love this little guy and can't believe how big and how fast he is growing! Happy Birthday lil' man! We sure do love you!
