It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!
Oliver wanted to show me what was in the pool!
Oliver likes drinking the water instead of playing with it.
Bailey says, "Don't touch me!"
King Colton for the day!

Look, this is how you do it Bailey!

Colton's 1st birthday party was a success! He had lots of people come and celebrate with him. Even though it was really hot outside, we were all troopers (even the adults). We blew up the shark pool, had a splash pad, had a splash table, and had a sand box for everyone to play in. Lisa & her mom made cupcakes for the party. They were all cute and decorated with a fish on the top. Yes, I did that myself...kinda proud of myself for that. I made Colton's cake myself to Colton had a party to go to that morning for his friend Megan. Then we ran home and put him to bed for a nap while we ran around setting everything up. When he woke up it was time for his party to begin! He was in a great mood! We have video of him and his cake that we'll try to post later. He was sure pooped out that night! Maybe we should do that more often ;) His actual birthday was a few days later. He got pancakes & strawberries for breakfast. Then we took him to Chik-fil-a for lunch for his first fast food experience. He liked the nuggets, but really enjoyed flirting with a college student who was nearby. For dinner he got lasagna for the first time and loved it! We gave him a cupcake from his party for dessert. He seems to really love getting presents!

Baseballs are great for teething

We've been super busy this summer. Some of the pics are from our trip to PA and there are lots more to come. We've been updating little things around the house (new counter top in kitchen, landscape in the backyard, and decorations in the den). I think we're almost finished...yeah right! Colton is busy, busy, busy. He cruises around all the furniture and is hard to keep up with. Luckily, he's not walking independently yet. His 1st birthday party is this weekend and we're super excited! His little personality is really coming through and he's pretty funny! His new thing is blowing raspberries...constantly! It's kinda cute to wake up to that...just not at 5:30am. He got tubes put in his ears last Friday and he seems to be doing great. He was a little fussy from being put to sleep, but after a nap and some food..he was WIDE open! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures from his party to share!
