Happy Birthday, Liam!

Since Liam is our first kid and it was his first birthday we let him throw quite the party with quite the guests. Liam loves to play with Elliot and Riley and was so excited to see them come.

We decided to jumpstart the mess with this truck full of "dirt" (chocolate cake, chocolate icing, Oreo cookies, and chocolate pudding). It was my- I mean Liam's favorite part of the party.

Liam was so excited that he kept shouting and stuffing his face with chocolate goodness.

The chocolate cake was a good idea. It's important to see the huge mess Liam can create. It was fun singing the birthday song and watching him look around at all of us. We had a great time. Happy Birthday, Buddy!!

A Mission Fulfilled

When I found out I was pregnant with Liam I thought what any parent first thinks of: "Now I get to cash in on the free candy this Halloween and Easter!" The latest event… Easter egg hunting with an almost 1 year old Liam. So what my kid can’t walk- I can! I can also pick up eggs lying on the ground and steal jellybeans from 2 year olds. That qualifies me to hunt right?!
My friend Myla came. She has a 5 month old, but hey, it’s free candy for crying out loud!!!

Here I took a mad dash for some Easter eggs while Liam hung on for dear life. Liam picked up one egg (only because I put it in his hand). We came home with 16.

Hunk Of Burning Love

Death doesn’t scare me (unless it’s me whose dying). But that’s why I perform these stunts: to show Fate that I’m the one in control, not some silly cookie at the New Hong Kong restaurant.

Anyway, I did it for Liam. I figure when he’s older, and he sees me wearing a smock to work everyday he may think I’m kind of boring, maybe even a nerd, even though I’ll basically be a legit, licensed drug dealer, and most kids think drug dealers are cool. My boy will be able to look at this picture and realize that his old man is quite extreme at heart.
