A year ago our lives changed for the great. The first week of River's life we were a little worried about what we had gotten ourselves into. That first night alone we both kind of frieked out with the lack of sleep and strange sounds (crying) coming from the little playpen in our room. The second week I was puking in the living room (stomach bug, not fear induced) while Yegi was trying to take care of both of us. Thankfully Yegi's mom was able to come take me to the hospital (sorry again for puking out your window Ladan) and stay with us that week. Week three things really started to improve and have only gotten better since then.
January 9th River turned a year old. We had a family birthday party that weekend and then a while later he and our friend's boys who also turned one had their "3 Amigos" party. Below is the photo evidence of both events.

This was the most favorite toy of every kid there it seemed.

Those two are amped because they know what is coming. At this time Cameron is not 1 yet and has yet to be unleashed on a cake.
Ready, Set, Go get dirty and eat more chocolate and sugar than you should in a whole year.
Adios, from the three amigos!
