Happy First Birthday Blake! It seems like we've barely blinked and time has gone by! For such a small guy, you've had quite an impact on our family!
You were born one year ago today in San Diego, California (or "Paradise", as we like to refer to it...if it's not Paradise, we're sure it has the same zip code.)
If your dad had his way, your name would be "Diego". Lucky for you, your mom talked him out of it. Your parents had a hard time agreeing on a name, but once they thought of "Blake", it just felt right. (Although, a blue eyed, blonde haired Diego would have been a good conversation piece.)
You always have a smile on your face and make people want to pick you up and give you a big hug! Your smile can light up a room! You even smile when you have a severe ear infection. Hopefully those are gone for good! What a great year it has been...we've loved every minute you've been with us. There is a part of our hearts that is reserved just for you...we love you Blake.

Mom, thanks for the tribute! I can't believe my baby is 1! Where has time gone? I really wish you guys were her to celebrate with us...oh-well. Love ya!
He is just so cute. I can't believe it's been a year - we had just moved here when she had the baby. I think I was still unpacking boxes when we got to see him in the hospital. What a cute family they are!
I think Diego would make a great middle name. Florence Nightengale was born in Florence, thus her name. I think Diego would be very fitting! Blake Diego DowDell.
Too late, Michael...maybe Kimberly's NEXT baby can have the middle name Diego...that means she would have to have a THIRD boy. I loved to tribute, mom. Cute Blake!
PS, you're comment didn't show up on my blog. I want to hear all about the waterworks.
Blake is SO cute! I just LOVE the picture of him and Parker sitting next to each other on the beach. They look like two peas in a pod. :) Time sure goes by so fast!

Have agreat day!
I'm finally catching up with everyone's blogs- I can't believe Bob got put in the Stake Presidency again, but I'm not surprised because he does such a great job! It was so sweet of your kids to make the trip to the wedding and we loved seeing them, but we missed you! I really think they should change Blake's name to Diego- just think of the conversation starter that would be!!
What cute pictures you have of Blake. We had a wonderful time together yesterday when Michael came up and Joe and Robyn and Parker came for dinner. I have almost forgotten how to fix a meal. But the kids ate and that was great. My family is really, really growing and this is so mind boggling. Love you and keep up the BLOGGING. Forget the "Diego".
These are the cutest babies around!! Just look at those tummies. I have one like that, but it doesn't look that cute!! ha ha
mom, we're waiting for your next blog...!
