1 yr. 3 days old & WALKING! lol

Dawson just turned 1 on friday and he decided today he was going to walk. :) He has been able to take 1-2 steps here and there, but nothing like what he decided to do today! He has no fear and is all about it now. Oh... we bribed him with chocolate to get him to walk on video...lol! Do what you gotta do!

Update from the birthday... On Dawson's birthday he had his buddy Brenton come hang out for a couple of hours, and we played outside almost the entire day! Mom spoiled them with ice cream cones. Yes, Dawson got his own and ate it all! Also, Dawson is teething again. :( poor little guy gets a fever, runny/stuffy nose, pain, and his sleeping schedule is all whacked out which doesn't make him as happy as normal, but I still feel blessed with his attitude.
J.D. is working hard in school, and getting the truck running for the elk hunt. i will post pics of the truck later... its a beast! lol! a 1986 beast that is. J.D. is preparing for the Shelley boys hunting trip! (its a big deal...to the guys anyways. they prep for months on this)
I am getting the house cleaned & getting ready for Dawson's bday party. Also, tomorrow we are going to take some family pics so hopefully i will get those posted soon after. I have been doing some crafty things as well. I re-did my recipe box categories, and made an information book of Dawson (in-case we have people watch him and have a ? about something-i know I'm a little paranoid, but I felt it was a good idea). I have started Dawson's 1yr-2 yr scrapbook. I recently finished his 0-1 yr book! Go Me right? lol! And, i've started our parents' christmas present! I have to start early or i get stressed out as many of you can relate.
Othere than that we are all healthy and happy!
