Another picture from Mary Alice. Cash turned one yesterday and even though we did his bday with Parkes we woke up the morning and had some cinnamon rolls to celebrate the occasion. We had our first day back to school so Cash got tons of attention on his special day and lots of singing which I made him clap the whole day in delight.I can't believe he is a year feels like such a fast year. And with how Cash spent his first few months with us he definitely has become a different child. He is now very laid back and happy, and he cracks himself up all the time which is so funny and really makes Parkes laugh. He started out rolling over at 6 weeks and trying to pull up and scoot at 5 months, but now is very content with crawling and doesn't make any attempts to walk on his own and really doesn't like to walk holding my hand because he would rather just crawl by himself. He does not want to be rocked or cuddled which can make it harder at night when he wakes up becasue if we pick him up he thinks it is play time, but after a few trips to put his paci back in he finally usually settles back down. He loves food, most anything unless it is plain veggies he prefers them seasoned to his taste. His favorite game right now is "How big is Cash?" And his favorite toy is a ball...he could spend hours throwing from one side of the room to the other. He has defintely brought so much joy to our family especially Parkes who doesn't understand he can't hug and kiss him all day long. Parkes believes Cash is "his baby"...it will be fun to see what happens as Cash gets bigger and can really tell Parkes what he thinks about the nonstop hugs.

As for Parkes since he just turned 4 and never wrote what he was doing now, he too is quite independent and has become quite the chef. He loves to cook and watch the Food Network which works out well for me so we can compromise on shows. He loves Power Rangers and Transformers. I was told by him yesterday after he told me he had to sit in timeout at school yesterday for the first time that the reason was a boy was running by and his "tiger powers" just got him. The things that he says are so funny and he asks questions all day long. He is overly affectionate...I get at least 200 kisses and hugs a day from him. He doesn't sleep near enough, but when he comes out of his room for the 7th time at 10:30 because he "just had to give us a kiss" it makes us smile and forget that we are frustrated. He will talk to whoever will listen to him even if it is the person walking their dog down the street.
So that's the boys this year. Brandon too celebrated a birthday on the 6th, but I think he'd appreciate it if I didn't tell what he's been up to and saying....could be pretty funny though.
