Birthday Boy

Riley turned one on Sunday.   We were in Utah so he was lucky enough to spend it with a lot of family.

He got some good presents.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Hatch, this is his new favorite toy!

We had cake kind of late, it was a little traumatizing when he found out it was ice cream cake and it was really cold.

But he got feeling better by the end of singing "Happy Birthday"

He got a second cake all to himself.  The photo shoot was quite a production. Thanks to Grandma Briscoe for letting us make a big mess in her kitchen.

Early Birthday Present

You would think he got something really good by the look on his face, but he got a new car seat for his early birthday present.  The box it came in was pretty fun too.

Being Appreciated

Andrew has been very thankful for me lately.

Last week he was working on a project with his partner and they went to the partner's house (which happens to be a fraternity) to work on it.  He came home and said, "Thank you so much for marrying me.  If it wasn't for you I would probably be living in that frat house.  You think a frat house is cool, but it's the grossest thing I have ever seen.  You can't even imagine how gross it is.  And there are a lot of dumb people running around doing dumb things late at night".  

A few days later he came home and said, "Thanks for marrying me so I don't have to fill out more paperwork for work."  Apparently you have to fill out stuff for girlfriends.

And today, "Thanks for feeding me,  I would be dead without you."   Probably malnourished, not dead, but it's good to be appreciated.

His last final is on Thursday, then he is done with school.  YAY!  We are moving right after he gets done with his final.
