Jared's Mission Call!!!

Eric's 1st Birthday!

Helping Grandpa put Eric's new wagon from them together...We love this thing!

Some of our wonderful guests!

The birthday babies! Eric turned one on the 30th and Michelle on the 26th...

Birthday mommies!!!

Eric's first cake...and he ate the whole thing!

I made two of these cakes...Michelle's had more hair and red m&m's for barrets...

The beautiful Tsunami...we love her!

Irene's very talented little sister, Jackie, she was our clown and she painted faces! She was amazing at keeping the kids entertained!

(Here is Eric with opening his present from his best friend Cash...it was also his birthday and the birthday babies were all wearing long sleives and overall... :) Sorry that I don't have more pictures of Eric's birthday...I had my mind on other things... Justin's family got some good pics but they are gone...I'll have to have Sarah e-mail them to me. Eric's party was so fun...we were sad that Grandma Smith and Katie couldn't be there, but we had both grandpas and Grandma Hamrick there and we got to meet Eric's only cousin from Justin's side, Ariana, for the first time! Justin's sister, Sarah, Amy, Krista and Jared were also there...We also had a lot of our best college friends and our closest friends in Idaho there. We are so greatful for our many friends that help us so often that we could never repay them... One of the best things from the night was watching Eric going around trying to play with all of the big kids as if he could do everything the could...it was amazing! It was kind of like he was saying, "I'm one now; I've got this." LoL I love watching him grow! The food, music, and company was great! Thanks to everyone that was able to make it!

Zoo Trip!

The bad mommy lamma...that doesn't feed her babies...

The female lion

The baby lamma...

The cute alpacca!

This was a pretty impressive lion...at least I thought so....

Some of the amazing animals we saw at the Idaho Falls zoo with some of our friends, the Tavarez's and Ventura's, and Katie and Jared...It was fun...we are blessed with some really good friends!
