Sunday we had Carter's birthday party at our house and luckily the weather was really warm, so we got to have an outdoor party :) Thank you everyone who came and helped us celebrate Carter's 1st bday!! Here's my big birthday boy!

Mommy and the bday boy


Guests starting to arrive...

Daddy dishing Carter up. We had noodle bake, salad and bread for dinner.

My friend Stacy and her two kids in line to get dinner

Grandpa feeding Carter one of his favorite dinners

My Blonde cousin-in-laws... Christina, Carly, and Erin.

Two of my really good friends, Alison and Jenn. And I have to mention, Jenn has never missed one of my kids' first birthday parties. She drove all the way to Yakima for Cristian's, came to Ava's, and flew from Texas for Carter's (well, his party wasn't the only reason she came... but still!!)

Twins... Auntie Tricia and Cousin Emily born just hours apart, and will soon be 29 :) Emily and her two girls are in town for the next 4 months while her husband Jason is deployed. (we're so happy to have them here)!

The Grandmas eating dinner

Marcus showing off his muscles! (and Alison's daughter Kaylee in the background)

Carter playing with his balloon boquet

And I'm outta here... (and clapping for himself:)

Time for birthday cake!


(note: I gave him one without blue frosting, it just had his name written across it in red)

Mmmm... this is pretty good

Pretty happy to be eating something this tasty.

It's cupcake time for the kiddos. (I made a German chocolate cake for the adults)

Ava enjoying her cupcake

Cousin Claira in her lion mask

Carter ate the entire cupcake... the first one of my kids to eat bday cake on their First bday!!

He needed a drink of water after all that sweet cake

Happy boy

Covered in cake

Silly baby

The kids running off the sugar :)

Carter opening presents... he got a lot of great toys, outfits, and $$. Thanks everyone!

Carter had a lot of helpers. He was more interested in taking his socks and shoes off and playing with the paper

See all my helpers :)

Finally got my internet hooked up and am getting to catch up on everyone's blog! So many cute pictures! We miss you guys! We need to talk soon, I have a lot of crazy stuff to tell you! Happy Birthday CARTER~!!!!
Little is just too cute! What a fun party. So cool that he ate his cake too. It's so funny that 1 year olds don't care for presents...just the paper they come in.
What a great party - although I would have loved a messier birthday cake picture - your kids are way neater than mine. I can't believe he's one:)
That looks like a GREAT party!! 1 already wowzers!
Hey why did you switch to private Blog?
Happy 1st Birthday, Carter!!! All the happy pictures of the birthday boy are so cute, looks like he had a great party.
Always fun to see first birthday parties at your house, no matter where they are! LOL! Glad you have three walking children, and three children over 1, that is an exciting event!
