Griffin's birthday!

Our favorite little out of uterus nephew turned one yesterday! And, he started WALKING on his birthday party day! He had taken a few steps, before, but he was walking all around by the end of the day. What a cutie!

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Bryson Found a rocking moose at IKEA for the little moose man!

Cake made my Muzz (grandma Lillie)

Yum cake!!!

Here dad, have some!

Mmmm!!!

Cake is why God gave us 2 hands

Yay!

Oh man, being 1 is hard! Sleepy time on Auntie Sarah while mom and dad cleaned up the party (I got the best job!)

In August 11, we took my dad to Fort Collins New West Fest to see Alison Krauss and Union Station! What a great night!

First 29th birthday!

Yesterday was Bryson's "first" 29th birthday! (Next year, he will be 29 again... we're not going to 30 in this house.) We enjoyed a Rockies game with both sets of our parents and little brother Babb.

Then... it started to rain... and rain... and rain...

They finally called a rain delay, and we left to go back. The game continued a few hours later, and of course, the Rockies Lost. But a fun night.

Tonight, we did Bryson's birthday with just the two of us. Green lantern cake made by Sarah

I forgot to get a #9 candle... but i figured he should at least use the 2 in the tens place one last time!

Happy birthday to the most wonderful man I know!

And, in response to last year's post, here are 2+9 things I love about you...

2. - I love how amazingly supportive you have been during our journey through all my back pain. Glad you haven't decided you bought a lemon and want to return me for a newer model.

1. - I love when we go to a coffee shop, where we get away from the distractions of the house, and we get to talk about life and love.

9. - I love you so much for getting through seminary this year. You are AMAZING and I am so proud of all the hard work you did.

8. - I love how you almost single-handedly packed our apartment for our move to Fort Collins since I had recently had back surgery. What an amazing husband.

7. - I love how you still make me laugh. I am pretty sure I will laugh with you for the rest of my life.

6. - I love how faithful you are being in your new job as a pastor. I know you will be so great in this job.

5. - I love how much you support my career. Whether it's coming up to help me move furniture or attending one of the many kiddo concerts (when I know you really don't like to be around all those kids), you are always there happily to support my teaching.

4. - I love how you maintain me when I am being my gooney self. Whether it's leaving my cell phone at the American Furniture Warehouse store or forgetting my iPod, you never get too mad, just give me an "Oh, Goon."

3. - I love seeing you get excited about theology and Bible stuff. Your knowledge and excitement for God has made me want more.

2. - I love when you do silly dances for me. Even when you think I might not be watching, I appreciate all your moves.

1. - I love that you chose me to be your wife. I am so honored and blessed to be called "Mrs. Lillie"

(WHEW! Next year I only need to come up with 30 things!)
