Happy Birthday Cade!

Caden's birthday was a lot of fun. I wasn't going to have a big party until my Mom told me she wanted me to throw one and she would help pay for it. So I decided to have it at Raymond Rimkus Park. It has the best jungle gym and Nathan loves it. My Mom and my brother David bought pizzas and I picked up the cupcakes and decor.

We brought picnic blankets and toys for the little ones. Unfortunately the bark was more fun.



Scott's job was Caden. See how much fun he is having!

Madison, being her little doll self!

The lil' ones area.

Caden likes pizza. Yup, he has one in each hand.

My fancy dancy cupcakes, Each one has a ring on it that says, "Happy 1st Birthday."

So, I came very prepared, minus matches of course. Cade didn't know what to make of everyone singing to him.

"Are they singing to someone behind me?"

"What in the world is this?!"

"Hmmm... this kinda tastes good...."

And the rest need no explanation.




















"Man, this is the life!"

We had such a good time. Thanks all of you for coming, and for those who couldn't make it, we missed you!!! I can't believe my baby is one! For probably the first time since we've been married I feel very content with my family (e.g. no baby cravings). I love my boys so much! Happy birthday Caden!!!

Love the play by play pictures! I love how babies really enjoy their first taste of something yummy. sorry I didn't respond to you earlier, but I would love a prego massage, I kinda want to save it till I'm further along so I can enjoy it more. :) I will call you or email you.

You are such a cute mom! It's always good to be content with what you have. I enjoyed seeing you a few weeks ago. Hope all is well.

Happy Birthday Caden. I can't believe all these babies are turning 1! What a fun party! I missing out on so much!

And are you sure your not having any baby cravings? Being big and round for 9 months and then having them attached to your boobs another 9 months dosn't sound like tonz of fun?
