We had Asher’s first birthday party at a local park on Saturday evening. A few of his baby buddies came along and it made for some cute pictures. You know how when one baby cries, they all start crying? Well, I’m not sure who even started it…but it went something like this…

I can’t believe that today my baby is one! I officially have no more ‘babies’ in the house (although there are plenty of times when they act like it!) He is still not walking, or standing on his own. He is content to crawl around everywhere. His favorite toy is our remote control and his favorite play buddies are his sisters! No one can make him laugh like they do! They have really taken to wrestling him!
So, we just got back from our California vacation and I can’t wait to go through our 500+ photos and post, BUT today is my baby’s first birthday and I just had to give him the spotlight! Of course I had a photo op in mind and it didn’t quite go as I had planned but still cute none the less. I baked him his own special chocolate cake and wanted him to ‘tear into it’ while I snapped away! Well, I don’t think it helped that he woke up at 10 a.m. (we’re all still on CA time), and we gave him a big donut for his birthday breakfast and he gobbled it all up! So, at lunchtime, he wasn’t hungry enough for his cake and we forced him to taste it and he acted like it was disgusting! I don’t think he appreciated the texture of sprinkles and cake crumbs either. Oh well!
Here is Asher at breakfast in his custom bib from Grandma!

We glammed it up for Ella’s 3rd birthday party! We went to Snip-Its and 7 of her little girlfriends from church had a makeover party. First, they got to pick out an outfit to wear. Then, they got their nails done.

Today is officially the start of James ‘birthday week.’ His big 3-0 is actually 4 days away but in our family we like to celebrate all week just to make it more fun. Well, who doesn’t love surprises on your birthday week? This is what James got today.

You see, James wanted to go to IHOP after 5 o’clock church today because they have his favorite pancakes and he is entitled because it is his birthday week. If you can’t tell from the pics, James got his car stereo jacked from his car in the IHOP parking lot on Cesar Chavez today. (As if his 1997 Nissan Altima wasn’t hooptie enough, now he gets to drive around for awhile with a missing front passenger window and car stereo!) We took 2 cars to church and thankfully my car wasn’t broken into which was parked right next to his. I guess they figured mine has a car alarm which it does.
Here’s to hoping James birthday week gets better! Love you hon!
