Orrin's birthday in Cottonwood

So we were able to celebrate Orrin's birthday on Saturday. Matt went and bought this small cake for Orrin. It was the cutest cake for the little guy. He liked to put his fingers into cake and lick his fingers. Dad then taught him the ropes and put Orrin's hand in to the cake and his liked it for a little while. Our little guy is walking now. He takes his time but he likes to walk now. Yea!!! He was getting a little heavy to carry around all the time. We opened up presents, they were all wonderful. It was fun to be around the Welly family for the occassion. Thank you to Debbie and Chuck for being wonderful grandparents to our kids.

The birthday weekend.

Mother's Day weekend was a busy one. We had two birthday parties and Mother's Day to celebrate. Grandma Burris's birthday was the day before Mother's Day and Debbie wanted to have a party for her. We were glad to be there. She is such a nice Grandma to our family. The Brimhall famile and Burris family were able to come as well. It was nice to see Aaron, Jayme and their family there. We hadn't seen their family for a couple of weeks since their move to Safford, AZ. It was nice to be around Sarah and her kids. Nate, Niki and their boys are always fun to be around with. There was a present there that was given to Grandma that was so precious from Emily. She took Grandma's wedding pictures and made a scrapebook for her. How nice was that. It looked so awesome. Emily can help me out with ideas any time. She is very talented like her mom. We hope Grandma Burris had a great birthday. We love her.

Look who turned 1

We celebrated Orrin's birthday on the Newitt's side the first Sunday in May. Iy was cute to see Orrin try to open up presents. Of course Megan and Austin wanted to help show him how to rip the paper. Tate, Kaydee, and Donovan were very good and watched Orrin try to open. It is always interesting to see what a one year old will do when blowing out their first candle. Orrin thought it was neat enough to touch. Of course he found out that it hurts to touch it with his finger the hard way. Matt hurried blew the candle out. Thank you to all the Newitt family for being there. It is always fun to see everyone.
