Sloan's FIRST birthday

September 22, 2010 Sloan is one year old today! I thought I would get everyone up at 630, make breakfast and sing Happy Birthday.  Um....that was such a no go!  Brayden's alarm did NOT go off, my alarm did NOT go off and Brent didn't wake up early.  So we very quickly sang Happy birthday, gave Sloan her Micky Mouse rockin chair and darted out the door.



So, today I decided not to keep my cell close by while at work. And sadly it was the one day I needed it.  Doodle went to get Brayden out of school for lunch.  To my surprise the 7 papers his dad and I signed allowing one of 5 people to pick up had walked away.  They attempted to call me several times and after no success, they let him go.  I cant decide if I am glad, annoyed that they lost the papers or fearful my child could just go with someone not on the list.  I will keep you posted on my thoughts.  After 4 hours at the gym, bouncing, running, sweating and laughing, I headed to lunch with my favorite family.

Could those girls be any sweeter!  We chowed on cheesecake factory, Then headed to build a bear.  Brayden wanted that to be his gift to Sloan. This was way more fun for B, he built a long horn bear, while Sloan ran from isle to isle taking bear outfits down.  She was a natural in the mall, bag thrown over her shoulder, outfit in hand and a walk with more attitude then a high school cheerleader.

Once home, I was back to baking.  Four cakes in front of me, two cans of icing and the imagination of me!  I arranged and rearranged until one cake finally broke in half and the cake began to stick into the icing.  At this point I had eaten one whole piece.  I decided to stack, ice and walk away.  After the baking it was time to put the kitchen together.  The box was as tall as me, the directions seemed simple and I got to use the drill.  I placed on my pieces on the floor and began building.  3 hours, a few choice words, some banging and one call to toys r us, the kitchen was complete with phone, microwave and 102 pieces to cook.  She loved it!  Grandparents arrived, we ate dinner, Aunt and Uncle joined the party.....it was cake time.  Sloan dove into my 3 layer pink cake!  She licked her fingers and shoved cake into her mouth.   Sloan got a pink car from her Aunt and Uncle and a big thanks to Uncle J for putting it together!!! Sloan crawled in the window dukes of hazard style!! She loved it, honking, waving her arms, getting in and out.  I am waiting on road rage to set in!!!

Happy Birthday Sloan Willson and Doodle Bug!!!
