Friday

I brought my camera down Friday afternoon and Hayden was following me around saying, "cheese".  It was so cute, so I took he and Stephens picture.  They both did so good.  I told them where to stand and they both stood still, looked and me, and smiled!  Good boys!



You can really see how much taller Stephen is in this picture.

Then I took one of them with Blessing.  These boys love Blessing so much.  It is going to be hard to say goodbye to her in September.



And one of my big boy.  His haircut makes him look so much older!  I can't believe he is almost 2!!!  



I decided I wanted to make Stephen's cake for his party next weekend, but I haven't made a cake in forever, so I thought a practice run would be a good idea.  Stephen loves to help me cook, so I thought he would love this and I was right!  He was so excited to help me!







In this picture below he is laughing/ screaming with excitement!  He is always so happy and the smallest things bring him such joy.  I love that about him!





Licking the beater for the first time.  He wasn't so sure about this and I had to really convince him.







It did not take any convincing for him to taste test the mini chocolate chips though!  I asked him if he wanted to help me pour them in and he went right in for a taste test.





They passed, so we poured them in.



Wait, just one more taste test.





Stirring the chocolate chips in.







The finished product!



I love cooking with Stephen and I love that he gets so excited about it!   Before I was a mom this is one thing that I couldn't wait to do with my kids.  Some days I can't even believe this is my life.  How did I get so lucky to have a great husband and the sweetest, more adorable little boy ever?  I am blessed beyond measure!
