Happy Birthday to me and more pics of Deacon

This past Saturday was my 27th bday. We went to dinner with friends and had some friends over for cake and ice cream. We always seem to forget candles until the last minute. So I had the option of being 52 or 25. I chose 25. Either way candles are candles, right?

Hello?













Is this thing on?














Am I talking into the right end?

What's Deacon been up to lately?

So, what's Deacon been up to lately, you ask? Here are a few things:
Sleeping in pretty much any position he can















Sleeping in his car seat

















Sleeping in Mom and Dad's bed














Being darn cute














Trying really hard to start crawling














Trying really hard to hold his own bottle



























Some more sleeping wherever he's at














Getting baths




















Making cute faces and showing off his baby blues

















































Chillin with Dad













Hangin with Mom

Sundays With Deacon

I have lately been taking a lot of pictures of Deacon on Sundays. James is usually off at various church meetings and we have some Mommy Deacon time and it seems to be as good a time as any to get some cute pics of him

Deacon: The New Hanes Baby diaper and sock model...ok just kidding, but he's two months old now

On Sunday when we got home from church we were changing Deacon and he was just too cute in his diaper and socks, I couldn't resist the photo op. We love this little guy. He is two months old today. Don't you just love his blue blue eyes? He had his shots this morning and has been cranky ever since. I think I'm in for a long night!

Deacon's blessing and visit from Grandma and Grandad

This last weekend we had Deacon's baby blessing. We had a lot of the Patterson family come to his blessing- thanks everyone for being there! We also had my parents in town as well as my aunt and her family come down from Ogden for his blessing. It was great to spend time with family. Deacon met his Hodge grandparents for the first time. It was great to have my parents in town- I miss having my family around!
