Happy Birthday Ephraim!

Can you believe that Ephraim is now a one year old? Yesterday was Ephraim's birthday, and we had a great day!

My parents drove down to spend the day with us and the boys were excited to see them. My parents drove down from Wyoming the evening before Ephraim's birthday and spent a little time with them while I was at work that evening.

The next morning the boys had a good time playing with Grandma and Grandpa Heiner.

After Ephraim's morning nap we drove in to Orem to have lunch with Daddy. Then we went and did a little birthday shopping. We found something for Ephraim that I think Jacob will enjoy too. Of course we had to put it together as soon as we got home.

So far they both seem to love this Little People Racin' Ramps Garage. Doesn't it look like fun? We have made sure that Jacob knows it is Ephraim's toy, but they can share it. I am not too worried about it because Jacob got spoiled too.

Grandpa just had to get Jacob this motorized bucketloader, and he LOVES it. He has been playing with it nonstop, which is nice because it has been too cold to go outside! Grandpa and Grandma also got some more wooden track for Jacob's trains, which is nice because we can make the track a bit more interesting to play with.

My parents left early in the afternoon, and I put Ephraim down for his afternoon nap. Later when Joe came home from work we had our little family gathering. We opened presents from Grandpa and Grandma Devereaux. Isn't this outfit cute?

Ephraim was pretty excited about the box with this water toy/sprinkler in it. He kept lifting it up and patting the box. I think it will be a lot of fun this summer when the weather gets a little warmer. Ephraim also got a cool swim bodysuit that will be great this summer too.

Of course after the presents we had to have cake! I made a little mini cake for Ephraim, and at first he didn't quite know what to do with it.

After we got him to taste it, he decided it was yummy and he started digging in.


Before long his hands were covered with cake. He was squeezing them open and shut and shaking them back and forth trying to figure out how to get the cake off. It was hilarious and I will have to post a video of that later.

Ephraim loved his cake. He also loved the bath he got to take after getting all messy.

Happy Birthday Ephraim! We love you tons and bunches!
