Party Time...

I started thinking about Easton's birthday party a couple of months before his actual birthday.  I knew exactly what I wanted and found some cute ideas off of very creative blogs.  That's the awesome thing about Pinterest and Google ;)

I knew that it was going to be hot, so a Pool Party was the perfect solution for a birthday that is at the end of May in Texas.  Luckily, I know some very special people who just so happen to have a beautiful pool in their backyard and who love Easton so much that they wouldn't mind if we had it there...thanks Lolly and Pops :)

It was a fun day with family and friends and I don't think it could have gone any better than it did...oh and did I mention it was a HOT day!!!

A Year of Joy...

It's hard to believe that our little guy has been on this earth one year.  He has brought more JOY to our lives than we ever could have imagined.  We are so blessed to have him in our lives and so happy that God chose us to be his parents.  I will never forget the moment I heard his first cry and the moment we saw him for the first time.  I was so overwhelmed with love, happiness, and relief that he was ok.  It was just a flood of emotions in that very moment.  I fall more in love with him everyday and so proud to be his Mommy.

Our Big Boy
I love watching every move he makes.  He is so fun right now.  I love how he talks and then in the middle of his sentence he starts laughing...it's so funny that he laughs at himself ;)  He also does it when he talks to his stuffed animals or his Ernie doll.  He loves to play Patty-Cake and he will roll his hands and say "Woll" it instead of 'Roll' it.  He loves it when we play Little Piggies.  He opens every cabinet door and says "Thank You" when you ask him to close it.  He likes to run away from us when he knows he has something that he's not supposed to have...Little Stinker :)  I could go on and on about all the cute things he does, but I don't want to be THAT MOM who can't stop talking about their kid and how adorable he is :) 

This has been one exciting and fun year with Easton and we can't wait to continue to watch him learn and grow everyday.  I'm so thankful that I have this summer to spend with him.  We are going to have so much fun :)
