It's a year of firsts at our house!
1st day of school for the 3 older ones and
Ammon Earl's 1st birthday!!! (Aug 11th)
His namesake Ammon is from the Book of Mormon - a valiant missionary who gave up his prince life to serve the Lord and the Lamanites.
Earl is from Jeffrey Earl and great Grandpa Risenmay - Eldon Earl. A name I hope he's proud of because he shares it with 2 amazing men!
I can't believe it's been a year already. I remember being stressed last year because my mom wasn't here to come help - she usually comes for several weeks (she was on a mission in Norway with my dad). My dad does projects, my mom folds laundry and they help me take care of our family while I'm recovering from surgery.
This time my sister came and brought 3 of her own helpers. I was sad I wasn't home to enjoy them (being in the hospital for 4 days), but I knew my kids were in good hands and would go wherever they could with their aunt and cousins. I missed my mom, but my sister was a good sub. :) However she didn't bring my brother-in-law to do projects...Oh well.
And I had other great helpers too - Judy came for 2 weeks, then Shayla and Marissa came too. I couldn't ask for a better family!
So my little Ammo is a sweet little guy - he just rolls with the punches, literally. This kids is tackled, yelled at (they like to scare him, he doesn't scare easily) :), pushed, told to chase and just all around LOVED. He can walk with amazing grace - he just powers through all the toys that surround his feet and off he goes to climb the end of the couch and land face first, sits up and smiles at himself. :)
I tried for a good picture. This is what I get for trying. :)

I got to be in most of the pictures because I was 'helping' Ammo open his presents. Thank you grandparents!! :)
cute sisters in matching jammies! there's a baby size - I keep asking if they'll let Ammo wear it so they can all match....possibly even one for Lucas' size.
Daddy bought me a hammer, grandma gave me the book to chew on.
Excuse me Abbey, I'm trying to get to the stuff everyone is trying to hide from me. They keep telling me it's garbage.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want too!

Happy birthday Ammo!
