Happy 1st Birthday Bella

I've been a bad blogger and I thought I had lost my camera (gulp!) but then I found it in my new sewing bag that Daddy gave me from our Christmas name draw (hooray!)Anyway, here's my little baby that's now ONE! I can't believe it!

We had a little family birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa Boltzs' complete with a very cute Disney Princess birthday cake. She really didn't get the whole present thing and Emma pretty much opened all her presents for her. And in 1 year old fashion, she liked the pretty paper and the boxes more than the gifts. :) But watching her with her birthday cake made it worth the whole thing. She picked at the cake at first that we put on her tray and then she put one finger in it and looked at us to see if were going to stop her and when we didn't red light it she totally went for it. There was smashed birthday cake everywhere but she squealed with delight every time the cake went up and Splatted.

It makes me kind of sad to see my little girl growing up so fast and I can't believe how quickly the year has flown by.

Icky Ick Blahs.

So I have the Icky Ick Blahs. My head is stuffed, my nose is a runny mess, my throat is scratchy and I feel like one of those medicine commercials like the one with the lady with the regular body of a woman and the head of the teddy bear about 100x's too big.

Not really the best time of year to have the Icky Ick Blahs, especially when you have 12 projects for Christmas sitting at home. And I have to confess something. My Christmas tree is not decorated. I know, I know my mother is completely ashamed of me since I come from a long line of put-your-tree-up-the-day-after-Thanksgivingers. I still have a scarecrow hanginng on our door from Thanksgiving. My patio is barren of anything Christmas related. It's really sad and pathetic really.

In addition, I'm not being the best blogger ever so everyone is going to have to understand that I have the dreaded Icky Ick Blahs and wait it out.

Boys Play Basketball....Men Wrestle

The Salt Lake Slam was today at the Salt Palace. Kaden didn't place today but he worked so hard and wrestled some really tough guys and he never once gave up. I was so proud of him. Coley is making quite the name for himself and he took first place. His last match was a definate nail biter and I almost had a heart attack when Cole was almost pinned but they went out of bounds and I've never seen Cole so mad! He rallied back to pin his last opponent in the 3rd round. (his longest pin of the day). All in all a pretty good day. So proud of my boys!

Cole put Bella up on the trophy stand and helped her pose. I wish I could say that she enjoyed the day but towards the end she was so tired she just cried and cried.

Here's Cole and his first place trophy. He had 5 pins 1 decision by points. We all overheard people talking about Cole Zorn....he's getting quite the reputation.
