1 Year Old!!!

Our little baby boy is 1! Wednesday, May 6th was Landon's birthday. His Grandpa and Grandma Kay came clear from Idaho to visit us on his special day which was so much fun! We had a few friends over for a barbeque later in the evening to help us celebrate. It started to rain really hard which was a bummer and to make matters worse all our company seemed to overwhelm poor little Landon and he got really really upset and wouldn't calm down as you can see from the picture below! (That's grandpa holding Landon in the picture.) Oh man! We worried that might happen and we thought we were in for a long night and that his birthday would be a wreck! But as soon as he dug into his cake it turned out ok.















We had a little animal theme and I made lion cupcakes! Man, they took forever but aren't they so cute!?














And here is Landon's bear cake!

















Landon didn't know what to do with the cake when we put it in front of him but his daddy helped him by putting his hand in it and then he dug right in! He was just shoveling it into his mouth! It was so cute!















And here is the after picture of the cake! What a MESS! All that work! Sheesh! But it was worth it!















Wahoo...opening gifts! It was getting late and he had a really long day so we were handing him his presents quickly so that he could open a few without throwing a fit!















Thank you to Nanny and Bompa for the cute clothes and Barney video!!















And Grandpa and Grandma Kay got him some fun outside toys...a sprinkler, dump truck, bubbles, and a shovel!















We didn't have time to show Landon his big present from us on his birthday but we got him a fun pool for him to use this summer! Landon loves the water, can't wait!















Here are just a few of Landon's fun gifts, he also got some books and a CD with fun childrens music on it!














Landon loved his new ball! He played with it all the next morning!

To our little boy, mommy and daddy love you so much! You are getting so big and learning so quickly. We are so proud of you and for the sweet spirit that you are. You have brought more joy to us then we ever thought possible. Happy first birthday bubby, we look foward to sharing many more!

The 1st birthday is the best! It looks like he had fun! I love the lion cupcakes, they were so cute! He is such a cutie. He sure looks a lot like his Daddy! I am so excited for you guys to move back to Idaho so we can get together more often!

What a great birthday! I can't believe he's a year old!?! Doesn't the time before he was born almost feel like it never existed? Can't imagine life without those little buggers. :)
