The Party

Our little partner had his 1st birthday. He invited his favorite little cowpokes over to the homestead for a birthday with all the fixins. Ok we are done with the wild west talk, but we did have a full cowboy themed birthday party. We used each of the kid's cowboy pictures to make wanted posters. Birthday boy was wanted for milk stealin'
Wanted for pony stealin'
Wanted for gun slingin'
Wanted for gecko mind control
Wanted for Stealin' Kisses
Wanted for Horsin Around
Wanted for Bedtime Extending
My little buddy helped me make lemonade for our barbeque. We had hamburgers, boston baked beans, potato salad, chips, fruit salad, red velvet cake.
The kids loved the kid's table and being able to have their own root beers.
The whole Cowboy Crew
Some of my favorite photos






When the cowkids started getting restless we took them for a walk to the creek. I want it noted for the record that Little Miss was wearing a cowgirl outfit and then decided to change it into a leotard. Of course all cow girls wear this to round up the cattle. The added knee socks work to scare away the rattle snakes.


The kids loved throwing rocks and I loved that no one got hit in the head.

My sister took Huck outside and got some great photos. All of you should have a sister that takes photos at your kid's birthday parties, because if it would have been up to me you would have had a photo of someone's shoe and Huck running away from me.
The crazy thing about these photos is that I think he looks older overnight.

These are my new favorites and show off his personality.
We tried to get a photo of him with a cowboy hat and this is the best we got.

I found these cowboy boots for him.


The older kids were so excited about our game. I purchased a rubberband gun and had them set up cups to shoot down and let them go at it.



Our beloved Uncle Patch.


The boot cake.

Huck's gift was a bike that converts from a rocking bike, to a bike with an extended handle for us to push, to a bike he can ride by himself. He loves it as well as his siblings.


Happy Birthday Little Guy.

First Birthday

Our little guy turned 1. On his actual birthday we just had the family. We got a little cake for him. Albertson's gives them a free cake on their first birthday. When we started singing happy birthday for him he loved it and started singing along.

When we gave him the cake he was dove right in.
Then he just grabbed the entire cake shoved it into his mouth.

What a happy boy.

How did this happen?

So when did we go from this...
to this?
Did I blink?
Did I sleep a little too long?
Was I on extended holiday?
Has life passed me by?
Because
there is
no
way
that this
was only 1 year ago. Someone please tell this little guy to stop growing. Please.
Happy birthday little one. We love you.
