HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY HYRUM!!!!
I never thought Hyrum would ever be old enough to have a birthday but January 26th did roll around again. We celebrated Saturday with some presents and cake. We had finally found him a harmonica after much searching and were excited to give that as a present and see that he still remembered how to play it. He got some fun toys from family that he has had a blast with.
As you can see from the pictures, he quite enjoyed his cake. He liked the frosting the best and had a good time smearing it all in his hair. He was very slow and deliberate but soon enough the cake was in crumbs. The bathtub had a huge chocolate ring around it that took a couple of scrubbings to get off! But it was definitely worth the clean up.
We have had a good month. Jeremy seems to be a bit busier than he was last semester and it looks like they may work them hard the whole time, but he continues to do great! It has gotten quite a bit colder around here but we haven't seen anything below zero yet for which I am grateful. We went to a local ice sculptor show which was lots of fun. And Jeremy and I have started swapping babysitting with another first year dental student (in another ward) and his family. They have a son exactly one month older than Hyrum. So we had fun on a date and look forward to more!

I can't believe he's one! What a cute little man you have.

I absolutely love chocolate cake! Oh, and pictures of babies covered in it! So cute! Also, we love babysitting swaps, so wonderful. It is hard to afford the date and paying a babysitter. Plus you get a playdate for your son. How nice!
The first birthday is always the most fun. I love letting them just go at it...did you guys get that on video too? Looks like Hyrum had fun.
Those are such fun pictures of Hyrum. Happy Birthday to him. I love the messy cake pictures. So cute. I'm glad that you found someone to swap babysitting with, there so that you and Jeremy can go out alone. As much as I love my kids and love to be with them, I have found that for Mark and my relationship as husband and wife, it's very important to have some alone time.
I agree with you 100% Liz! I just love going places alone with Jeremy even if all we do is hold hands =]
wow it looks like he had a good time with the cake!
Thanks for sharing your pics. Looks like Hyrum had a wonderful birthday! We need to get together again.
I always love reading your updates! Hyrum is getting so big--he's such a doll! And you and Jeremy look great! What an adorable family!
Hyrum is such a cutie and looks like he is so much fun!! Don't you wish we could devour our cake like that on our birthdays? Maybe we should try on our next birthdays?! :)
