Happy 1st Birthday Conner

A year has passed us by so quickly. All day yesterday, Jason kept saying, "Do you remember this time last year?" It is hard to believe how much our "baby" boy has grown over the past year. Conner is walking all around. He tries to run, but quickly falls to the ground. He still babbles all of the time and has started saying "Uh, oh" everytime he drops something (usually on purpose). He is developing quite the personality and loves to spend time with his friends and family.
To celebrate Conner's 1st Birthday, we had his friends and family over for a beach themed party. One of my friends from work made his cake and did a fabulous job!

Yes, we decided to give him the entire beach ball as his cake. He was a little hesitent at first, but enjoyed squishing it through his fingers!


Conner got tons of great gifts for his birthday. He is one lucky boy to have so many people who love and care about him!

It was really neat to get all of the kids together. Harrison and Madelyn came, along with Stone, Owen, Sam, Brody and Beckett. Amazingly, we didn't have any accidents all day long!
But, as you can see, everyone (including Conner) was wiped out by about 3:00! Thank you for being such an important part of Conner's life and for guiding Jason and I throughout the past year!

That picture of Conner just putting his face into the cake is the *greatest* picture. Looks like you had nice weather. Sorry we couldn't come~~I think I told you we were in NYC, but I can't remember now. I'm with Jason...I can't believe it's already been a year! You're the best mom!

Happy Birthday Conner! Wow...I can't believe it has been a year already. It is amazing how fast they grow up! Oh, and that is also a reminder of how long it has been since I have seen you! We need to plan to get together. Looks like the party was a lot of fun...memories!

I agree, Conner devouring the beachball cake picture is magazine worthy! You guys have the cutest family - and an entire troop of family & friends right at his age! What fun!

Can you tell which baby is not used to being at the Lake? I will give you a hint, he is dressed in swim stuff head to toe, is the only one wearing flotation devices and cried when Beckett put a little bit of sand on his water wing!

Conner was so much fun to watch on his first birthday! Where does the time go??
