William Scott had his first birthday on August 2. It is truly amazing how time passes. Sometimes the days seem long and then suddenly a year is gone! William is a very happy spirit. I have never known a baby who is so full of joy. When he was three months old and just starting to laugh he would laugh first to get me to join in...not the other way around. Now he "tells" jokes and expects us to laugh along. He is really funny! He thinks he knows how to walk and will try to make it across the room only to fall on his face...and laugh. Sometimes when he is crying he will forget what he is crying about and start laughing instead. He squeals and exclaims at everything that interests him. We have to leave church meetings because he is so loud even though he is happy. He is a social little guy who loves to be around people. He will leap out of my arms for his Dad or Grandpa Bergeson. Balls are his favorite toy and he loves to play rolling catch with his big brothers. Anna likes to carry him around and play with him although he will let her know when he doesn't want to go! He has a wonderful crooked grin and his eyes absolutely twinkle. What a blessing it is to have him in our home! I don't know why we were chosen as the parents of this joyful little soul. Happy birthday William!
He truly is a sparkly little boy! What a great 1st birthday page, you will have an awesome book at the end of the year. Thanks so much for all your help and getting me into this great "sport" of blogging. I call it sport so it will seem like it's doing me as much physically as it is mentally! Kim
Love that last bum shot. You gotta love his little happy smile. Happy Birthday William. We are so so glad that you are apart of our family.
It's been a while since I've checked any blogs. You are cruising along. I love the pictures of the kids off to school. You have such memorable things to say about them.
Hey, that looks like my bum only on a MUCH smaller scale! HA! He is darling...looks just like you, Paula. Thanks again for all your help last Saturday. Annie still hasn't emailed the pictures she took and I've asked her three times. Geez! Anyway, when she gets around to it, I'll email you. Love you!
January 2009 Anna stands up and starts dancing by our table in the restaurant. I tell her it isn't the place for dancing and she replies: "Mom, its always the place for dancing!"
November 2008 I instruct Tanielu to use his silverwear and not his hands while eating dinner and he casually replies: "Mom, I'm Samoan."
August 2008 Anna tells me she thinks it would be fun to have Hannah Montana as her older sister because then she would have really cool hand me downs.
Sunday July 6, 2008 Anna's teacher gave a lesson on the 10 lepers and taught the children about how only one came back to thank the Savior after they were healed. After class her teacher told me that Anna was the only one who thanked him for teaching class that day. What a special little girl!
Wednesday July 2, 2008 Owen and I had a date night together because Anna and Tani were at the cousins for a sleepover and Rod was working late. I asked him what he would like to do and he chose to get donuts and eat them in Mom's bed while we watched "go diego go go". Later we were talking and I told him how I couldn't wait to see what he would grow up to be because he is such a neat boy. He told me he would like to grow up to be a Dad. Then he said "but I might grow up then get little again because I ate so much junk!"
May 2008 Anna and Rod were having a long talk. Rod told Anna that picking me to be his wife was the most important and best decision he had ever made. Anna replied: "That's why I love you so much Dad!"
Owen age 3 (May 2008) I look outside in time to see Owen's bare buns and a golden fountain as he pees off our second story deck.
Tanielu age 4 (May 2008) while listening to the radio: "This is girl music Dad. It's not rock and roll!"
May 2008 I send Owen and Tanielu outside to play after telling them to stay out of the mud. I look out a little later and see them both playing with the hose in an enormous mud puddle. They were completely covered head to toe in mud. Their smiles were priceless! I wish I had taken a picture but I was too frustrated at the disobedience to stop and enjoy the moment. Live and learn.
