Bad Mom moment...

So we taught Kota sign language and he does so good. Tonight I fed him dinner then he snacked til bed and then he had his normal bottle before bed. We put him down for bed. Then he cried and cried. I waited for like 20 min then he started to get really mad. I go and check on him and talk to him and he starts signing eat. I'm like "no you have to go to bed." I put him back to bed and he cries so I let him sit on our bed with Aaron and he starts to sign eat again. I still thought you have to be kidding me. So back to bed he goes and then the crying starts again. About 10 min and I go in there and pick him up we start to rock and what does he do... he signs eat. So I decided lets feed him but I'll be so mad if he doesn't eat. We make him some oatmeal and he eats the whole bowl. So now he's in bed sleeping and didn't cry at all. Lesson learned.

Kota's 1st Birthday!!!

I still can't believe that I have a 1 year old. It's weird. So for his big day we actually had to celebrate it a little early due to Harvest and I figured it would be important for his dad to be at his party so we had it on Sunday the 23rd instead of the 26th. I decided to do pirate theme and I actually had a whole pirate outfit for him but ran out of time to get him ready and I figured he wouldn't keep the extra stuff on anyways so what's the point cause then he'd just be wearing striped pants. It was so fun planning and making the stuff for the party though. I can't wait to plan the next one. Especially because I should be able to get him to play games and stuff. Well sorry it took so long to do and update but here you go.

These are the cutest cookies, if i say so myself. I had to wait and frost them after Kota went to bed because he was the biggest pain the day I made the sugar cookies but I even got Aaron to frost some but he thought I was crazy for wanting to make them.

So here's that treasure. I had this whole idea of making the food table look like a treasure map and placing the cake and the end but of course it was raining and we had to move it into the house were there was not enough room but what to you do. The cake was pretty easy and the other kids loved it.

Kota loved all his new toys and Aaron had to not only help him open the gifts but had to take each one out of the box and let him play with each on along the way. Kota could care less he would look and the new toy then just go get his old toys while the other kids tried out the new ones.

I think he did eat a little cake but most was all over the floor and the balloon that he played with in the middle and then of course himself.



After his bath we decided that we would take a picture of all his loot. He was definitely spoiled.

It's almost over...

I can't believe that the summer is almost over and that school starts this week in Rigby. Aaron is in harvest and almost half way done...Thank goodness because me and Kota are ready for him to be home. Kota turns the big 1 in a week from tomorrow. Where did the year go. Well I really plan on getting some new pictures posted next time and within the couple of weeks.

Very Silly Boy

First of all here is his 9 month picture in his 12 month onesie. It pretty much fits. If he grows any longer than he won't be able to wear it anymore.

So funny thing that he started to do this last week. We usually just lay him down around 8 and then he plays or whines a little bit but then he falls asleep. Then before we go to bed we go and make sure that he is covered but instead of covering him up we have had to lay him down take a look at the pictures and you'll understand.

Is this weird or what???
