Friday was James’s 1st Birthday! We were excited to be able to celebrate in Utah with Shane’s family. We had fun relaxing in the morning before beginning the rest of the day’s activities.
For his birthday and for our last day in Ogden, we decided to go swimming at North Shore, a fun swim place in North Ogden. The boys had fun with the fountains, the river, and all of the different water-splashing areas.
James had woken up early that morning, apparently excited for his birthday, and then hadn’t taken a good morning nap, so he got tired pretty fast after we got there. Christie held him on her lap while he napped for quite awhile. Apparently, Grandpa was a little tired too, because he soon dozed off while reading his book.
After swimming for a couple of hours, we headed back for lunch and a small birthday party for James.
James’s cake and cupcakes, and his birthday balloons. He was pretty excited to see the balloons and kept pointing up at them.
Singing happy birthday, and Landon and I helping James blow out his candle
Clapping for James, and James eating his birthday cupcake (we had to change his outfit after!)

After the cake and ice cream, we moved over to the living room for James to open his presents. He had two big brothers who were pretty excited to help him out, but once we reminded them, they were pretty good about letting James open his presents. It’s kind of hard to choose presents for your third boy, but he got some really fun gifts, including a ball and monster truck from us, a fun ladybug and car from Grandma and Grandpa Malan, and a cute rhino flashlight from Mark and Melanie.

After the party, we unfortunately had to pack up and leave. We had such a fun week, and the time just flew by while we were there! It’s always sad to leave, but we look forward to the next great time together! Thanks Kent and Christie for an amazing week!
