Something different...Donkey Basketball!

Riding on the donkey...but didn't like it....

So many donkeys out there!

You had to run them up and down the court and then get on them to shoot!

So stubborn!

Showing off their matching eyes

Playing around

Nana and Dane

Enjoying the donkeys!

We were able to go to the Caston Donkey Ball fundraiser on Friday night...pretty fun!! Michael and Paige his sister were on opposite teams so it was fun seeing them duke it out!

On the Go!!!!

This outfit belonged to Michael 27 years ago...Michael's mom gave it to me. Loves clapping his hands!

Playing with Lola

Running around the house with dad's birthday balloon

Sucker in the bath tub

When we got all that snow

The snowman that Michael and I built when Dane was taking a nap

It's amazing how fast Dane can move these days. He started taking steps a few weeks before his birthday and now he is running everywhere! He loves it! We've been able to go outside and play a little in the snow these past few days with the warmer weather. It's hard for him to move though with a big heavy coat and boots on so we crawl through the snow a lot. Can't wait for summer when we can be in the pool everyday. This kid will be doing the backstroke by the end of summer!

Michael has officially been running everyday for 2 years now...actually since Jan 1st, 2008. I've seen him run in blizzard weather, pouring down rain and 90 degree heat. Amazing is all I can say. That's what you call discipline! I just finished my 6th week of P90X....6 more weeks and I'm ready for swimsuit season!!

Dane's Birthday Party

Everyone's come out to party!

Happy Birthday Dane!

Didn't like the hat!

Dig in buddy!

Wave to the camera!

Clapping his hands

I think he's done...in the ears and the nose...

We had a great birthday with Dane on Saturday! Can't believe our little boy is 1. There were so many wonderful memories this first year. I have to say as a mother it was the toughest but most rewarding year of my life. Thank you for everyone who came out to help us celebrate. We couldn't have asked for a better day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!!!!
