Jenson’s 1 year photos

The week before he turned one year old, we had Jenson’s 1 year photos taken, as well as some family pictures.  He wasn’t smiley like he normally is, but we still got some cute ones.  Our photographer  – Pam at Pieces of You Photography –

After delaying scheduling a haircut for Jenson for weeks, I finally decided he needed one before his 1 year photos.  The photos were going to be outside, so the wind would be blowing his mop all around and in his face.  I ended up getting

Yep, a month behind again.  I was so close to getting caught up on updates and photos, and then between volleyball twice a week, and getting things ready for Jenson’s first birthday party, I slipped behind again.  But that’s okay.  I’m behind on posts (miserably),

Jenson update: 11 months old

I had this post halfway done a month ago, when he was actually 11 months old.  Now he’s a year old already (!!!!!!!!), but I still want to get posted what he was up to at that age since you know I haven’t been good 

Thoughts Lately…

Just some random thoughts lately… Jenson said ba-bye and waved at me when I left this morning (for the first time).  So adorable. I keep a sweater at work that I throw on when I wear short sleeves if my under-the-desk heater isn’t keeping me

This was a rough week for Jenson.  He had a cold – was really congested and had a runny nose.  No surprise, he started sleeping pretty poorly this week (and it currently hasn’t stopped).  He was waking a lot and needed extra snuggles in the 

Gluten free Zucchini Bread

Gluten free Zucchini Bread

I ended up with some extra zucchini in my fridge this summer (unfortunately, it wasn’t grown in my volunteer garden), so I decided to make some gluten-free zucchini bread for a Norwex party I was hosting (more on Norwex another time…but it’s awesome – and

The last week of August was a big week for Jenson.  It seemed like he made so many changes during that week.  He found his clapping rhythm and I got an awesome video of him clapping to “I’ve Got to Break Free” by Queen.  After
