There has been a lot going on around here the last month. There have been a lot of birthdays this month, so that means I have been making a lot of cake. First we had a party to celebrate Lori and my birthdays. This was our cake.

Then the next week there was a big gathering (38 people) to celebrate Steve's grandma's 80th birthday. I was in charge of the cake, and here is what I came up with. I thought it turned out pretty good.

The next week we headed to my parents house and Jacob got to go swimming for the first time. He wasn't really sure what to think of it at first, but he got into it eventually.

My mom had the most adorable baby sunglasses for Jacob. Of course he hated them and wouldn't keep them on, but it's not like babies really need sunglasses anyway.

The next weekend we had a birthday party for Jacob. He is one year old!

Steve just started a new job which will require him to be out of town a lot. The boys thought they would help him pack. They are nothing if not helpful.
