Birthday Party!

My Jason Baby is ONE YEAR OLD! I cannot believe how fast the time as flown by. It's hard to imagine life without Jason. And it's even hard to imagine Jason not walking, not crawling, not sitting, not smiling. It's crazy to think that one year ago today I was just meeting my baby for the first time. I love being a mom. The relationship I have with my Jason is like nothing else I've ever experienced before and I wouldn't change it for the world! He is such a great boy!

We started out the day with pancakes. Jason loves pancakes!Then we had a pretty normal sunday. Jas had a nap, got ready for church... Daddy got to come to church with us today. That was a treat for me!!

Then after church the party began!! We invited Jason's friends and family over for a little bbq/birthday party!

This is hard to see because the pictures are so little, but we had SO many people over. It was so fun! And I am very thankful to have a backyard!

A few closer pictures of Jason's visitors.

We sang Happy Birthday and let him dig into his own little cake.

(We had a bigger one for everyone else.)

This clip is a little long and there's a lot of talking in the backgroud. But it's fun to see Jas dig into his cake!

Jason loved to play with it, but he did not like to eat it. Anytime he put any of it in his mouth, he would spit it right back out again. For a child who likes EVERYTHING (even rocks occationally) it's crazy that he doesn't like cake! I guess he wants to be just like his daddy. (Bryce does not like cake either.)After cake, Daddy had to go to work, so I took LOTS of pictures of him opening presents so Daddy could see. He loved all of his presents. He was much more interested in the actual presents than the wrapping paper! (Christmas all he wanted to do was eat the paper.)

He got a mini foot ball, basket ball, and soccer ball, a huge beach ball, and a tiny baseball, a book, some fruit snacks, a swimming pool, some toy cars, a new outfit, some wooden toys... HE WAS SPOILED! Thanks to everyone who brought him a gift! That was very kind of you! You spoil my boy.

Opening Presents

This video is for Grandma Suzanne. She brought Jason's present to FishLake but he was too tired to open it before we left. So I took a video of him opening it for you so that you could see him do it. Thanks so much for the gift!

We went out to say goodbye as the last of the party were leaving, and Jason decided to run through the sprinklers. He LOVED it! He's always loved the water. And he did this all on his own without any coaxing from any of us. I let him play, cuz it's his birthday. Why not?

After a bath (which was much needed because of all of the frosting in his hair) I put the little man to bed. He fell asleep with his foot sticking out of his crib... So funny
