Rhett Neglect

Rhett turned one on March 9th, he's walking all over the place, and he says, "I love you" all of the time, and we haven't blogged about any of it, so here I go.

We were in Denver for Annie's baby shower, so Rhett was lucky to have some extended family around for his birthday party. Kim's cousin Kristin and her family live close by. Owen and Rhett had a blast playing with Bria and Sofia.

Rhett loves watching The Backyardigans with Owen, so we went with that theme.

Kim did a masterful job on the cake.

Rhett scored some major loot.

It took him a minute to appreciate the opportunity to dig into a birthday cake, but he eventually got the hang of it.

Scott made it home safely from Iraq, so that made Rhett's day even more special to have him and Gari Jo there.

We all love Rhett so much and can't believe he is already one year old.
Rhett started taking steps a few days before his birthday, but really started walking on his actual birthday. It's funny what a month will do. He's so much steadier on his feet now.

I don't have any video of Rhett saying "I love you" yet. It sounds more like "I djoo djoo you." I also put a bunch of pictures on Facebook from our trip to the Denver Zoo. If you're like Gina Kemp, and haven't caught the Facebook bug yet, you'll just have to come over to our house to see those, or peek over the shoulder of one of my privileged Facebook friends.

That video is precious! And Kim did do an impressive job on the cake. Better than the blue blob I called cookie monster for one of my kids!

Fine. I don't feel pressured or anything. I will have Kwint teach me the ropes this week and I may not or may not accept you as my friend. Or maybe we'll just come over instead. That would be more fun.
Kaeleb got Lego Indiana Jones and he is afraid of the boulder, so maybe Owen can show him some moves.

I see you grew your beard back. Hope you had fun in Denver. Rhett is soooo adorable and I want Kim to do my kids' cakes from now on because she did such a good job on both of them this year, and I have a way of smattering frosting until you can't tell it's a cake anymore.
