sawyer's 1st birthday party!

everyone started at rebekah's swim meet...it was so fun for her to have them there to cheer her on!

then we headed back to our house for the party.

this gift was a HIT!
pat's parents gave sawyer this little pool with all different kinds of balls in it!
it was SO fun!

and then the cake...

papa gave him a little taste get him going :-)



wow! this is yummy!!

a mid-cake kiss

and some help...

he managed to do a pretty good job on it.

and quit when he was done.

i never do a good job of getting pictures of the attendees...when will i learn??
here is steph and colin.
both sets of grandparents and my brother, steve were also there!

sawyer with his gifts!
another pool with a floating sprinkler...some books...balls...and lots of clothes!
{sawyer and joshua were born at opposite ends of the calendar...so he had no clothes for the fall! and he's young enough to not know that most of his gifts were clothes :-)}

deep in conversation...

i somehow managed to get in a picture!

playing some silly game where they had to name things...my dad is quite the sport!

it was such a fun party!

what FUN! I love the first birthday parties - because there's no pressure! you can just relax and enjoy each other - and the babies are too young to know any different! What FUN - glad he liked his cake so much! I'm impressed he stopped when he was done - I'm still working on that one! :)
