Hampton's 1st Birthday!

I can't believe that Hampton is already ONE! He is so cute and brings so much joy to our family. He has his dad wrapped around his finger. He started crawling at six months and walking at 10 1/2 to 11 months. He has 7 teeth and is working on his eighth. He loves to try and keep up with his brother and has the cutest pout ever! We Love You Hampton!
It was a little different to not have any family around but we had a good day with the boys! While Hampton had his morning nap we rolled out wrapping paper for Kysaac to color so we could wrap his gifts.
Then we had lunch and sang to him. He didn't understand why we were singing to just him. But he loved his cake! It was cute and fun for him to dig his fingers into it.


These are his presents! Kysaac helped him open them really good. He didn't care though he was excited. You should see him cuddle the panda, it's adorable!
Kysaac was good and showed him how to build a tower with his new blocks! He loved them and thier bright colors! He likes to stack them up and knock them over. He laughs when they fall.

Fishing

Everyone around this area goes fishing. When we ask people what they like to do or what their hobbies are, it's fishing. So Matt and I checked into it and while it can be an expensive hobbie it can be inexpensive too! We went and got a pole for Matt and a small one for Kysaac and went to the lake, which is about 10 min. away. We had a really good time and with just our family and the kids did really good. Kysaac doesn't understand how to cast but he is really good at realing the line in and really likes the idea of getting a fish. Our first trip was short and we learned a little without looking dumb infront of anyone. Our second trip we invited a couple from the ward and we had fun with them while also learning more about fishing. Matt and I both agreed that its a great way to get away from the stress of life right now. We think we are going to have a great new hobbie! Who'd a thought?




This is Jon, Kysaac wouldn't let go of him. It was really funny!
Hampton was having a great time as long as one of us was holing him. (this was his birthday too)
