One

One year ago one family had one little boy. That one little boy has been one special joy. That one special little boy just turned one year old! I can't believe my little Shadrik is a whole year! Last weekend we went to Blackfoot and had a small family party for him; then we had close friends over for a small party on his actual birthday yesterday after church. Here's some pics to recap:

 the cake-Sandy baked it! I just decorated

 some of the family that came

 the "greats" on Sandy's side of the family

 his own cake-blowing out the candle

 I think he ended up with more frosting on his toes than anything; he kept sticking them in it :)

 the damage, or lack thereof-he wasn't nearly as into the cake as I thought he'd be-stay tuned...

 I make my kids a quilt for their first birthday

 quite upset about his drink

 His birthday day-he was all about Livi opening the gifts while he watched

 cake #2-also baked by Sandy...he can bake a yummy cake!

 ...already a bigger mess than the previous weekend. My lil guy is quite the home body and is simply a happier baby in his own space.

 He got a John Deere dump truck that's big enough for him to ride in-one of his favorite toys! I often find him sitting in the bed of the truck waiting for someone to push him around.

My not-so-baby, handsome baby boy
