1 year old!

YAY! We all survived the first year :) Jet turned one last Saturday is so much fun these days. We had a visit with the doctor for a well check on Monday and he is doing so well. Here are his stats:

Height: 30.25 in (66th %tile)

Head Circumference 18.5 in (68th%tile)

Some of the new things he is doing:

pointing
standing alone briefly
taking steps
throwing ball (or anything for that matter)
dances to music (his favorite song is "Never Say Never" by Justin Beiber
has the cheesiest grin
puts his blocks together
plays tug of war with Cody
opens drawers and cabinets
loves his ball pit
loves his tent and tunnel from grandma
waves 'bye-bye'
Has 10 teeth including two top molars coming through
Loves to climb the stairs

We are waiting to hear those first words from him, but I am sure they are coming soon. The picture is of Jet taking some of his first steps.

Birthday Bikeride

With the grandparents and Uncle Aaron in town for Jet's birthday and conference, we all decided to hit the trail between sessions and go for a bike ride. Jet got a bike seat for his birthday and I think he enjoys riding along with everyone and has a good view from up front. We had so much fun and enjoyed the summery weather. The bike seat is pretty awesome, it doesn't interfere with steering and you don't hit your knees. Jet looks pretty cute in his helmet too.

SMILE

I love Jet's smile, he uses his whole face and makes his teeth crooked. It is pretty cute and funny. We are doing well just chugging along. Getting ready for Jet's 1st birthday in less than 2 weeks. Can't believe it. Enjoy the picture for now!

Heber City Fly-in

This past weekend we went out to Heber to check out all the old planes at the Heber fly-in. It was fun to see some of the old planes that actually flew in combat. We got to step inside a couple of them and got a sneek peak at what it would be like to be flying back then. They had planes taking off and landing all morning and they were doing some exciting tricks too. The most interesting part was talking to a life-flight nurse that works on the emergency helicopters. They have a tough job, barely any room in those helicopters to move let alone try to save a life. We all had a great time, even Cody.

Baby Shoes

I made Jet some new shoes the other day. I know he will start walking soon and wanted to get him a pair. They are so expensive at the store and soft soled shoes are hard to come by. I used corduroy for the soles and they were so fun to make.

New Dress

For the past couple of weeks I have been working on making myself a new temple dress. I decided to make one because it seems like the ones in the stores are kinda frumpy and matronly, no offense. They are also so expensive it seems. Anyway, I wanted to make one that was a little stylish, I mean not that it really matters in the temple, but I just don't like wearing dresses that are like bags. Here are some pictures of the new dress.

Demolition Derby

Last night we went to the demolition derby in Spanish Fork. It was a wild time. It was amazing to see some of the cars that look like they can't be driven an inch, somehow keep running without tires and all bashed up. The most amusing part was during the powder puff when the girls were driving. Three cars were left and two of them were stuck together. The third could barely go 3 miles per hour, but was able to make the required hits within the 2 minute marker to keep in the competition. She just kept backing up and hitting the 2 cars that couldn't move. Anyway, it was a blast and definitely something everyone should see at least once in their life.
