Evan's 1st Birthday Party


{Don't worry people, I changed the details to ward off any blog stalker weirdos}

We celebrated Evan's 1st birthday with family & some of our sweet neighbor friends.  We had a "Lil Cupcake" theme with...well, cupcakes of course!  We are so grateful to all who came over to love on Evan and help us celebrate our special little guy! 
Family shot with the birthday boy!
Not sure why Owen's looking so grumpy here,
he was definitely having a blast at the party. 
I guess he was just having so much fun he didn't have time to stop and smile!


Evan wasn't sure what to think when we all started singing to him!

 But he quickly recovered & dove right into his cake!

I had to copy my friend Cori, who posted these very same pics on her blog, but these are just too sweet to me not to post as well.  This picture is from last June at the beach when we were all pregnant with our little ones:
And then here we all are at Evan's birthday party a year (and just a bit) later:

Me & Evan, Sara & Marley, Cori & Cooper, Elisabeth & Madeline, Coco & Finn
LOVE YA'LL TO PIECES!!!

We have SUCH an AMAZING group of neighbors!  I wished we'd gotten a big group picture of everyone, but I didn't think to organize while everyone was there & plus we were missing a few as well.  Please know we love ya'll ALL {well, that was a big repetitive, but ya know what I mean...} and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!

Hehe, love Evan's expression here :) 
 Okay mama, no more pictures, please!

You got it love, that's a wrap!


Birthday Boy!!!

Goodness gracious, my baby is ONE! 
We had so much fun celebrating our birthday boy with our family and friends.  We started out Evan's birthday morning celebrating with just our family of 4.  Evan opened up his very first present, we had french toast "birthday cake", and had some sweet time together.  That evening we met the grandparents for what's quickly become a tradition in our family--a birthday ice cream outing :)  We had such a great day celebrating our birthday boy!

 French toast "birthday cake" yummy!

Goofy boy...
I see many more silly faces in this one's future,
he just doesn't like to have his picture taken!

his very own PBK chair, just like brother's! 
He loves it :)

 Being silly :)

Hooray for ice cream, he's definitely a fan!!!

 So excited about my NEW sandbox from Noni & Grandpa! 
The boys spend lots of time in this. 
Definitely the new favorite things to do in our backyard!

LOVE this picture!


 A picture of all 4 of us smiling AND looking at in the general direction of the camera , quite the rarity...
but TWO in a row?!?!...
Now that's almost unheard of!

Birthday party pictures are on their way, check back soon!
