My Baby is 1!

I can't believe how fast a year went! I hate to see Tyler grow up so quickly, but at the same time I love to watch him learn new things everyday! I figured with a boy there is a good possibility of having a lot of "sports" and "truck" parties in the future so I decided to do something that I knew I could only pull off once. I threw him a "duck" party. (Since that was his first official word - I thought it was cute!) And by "party" I mean just with Grandmas and Grandpas...since they are really the only ones who care that the babies turn one! Besides Mom and Dad, of course. Here are a few pictures from the day.

The cake:Ty very intently reading his card.What's in there?Chowing down on the beak!The lovely mess! He actually didn't do too bad. I think I made more of a mess cutting it up than he did eating it. Enjoying the gifts!

It was fun to be with our families - thanks for coming!

Happy Birthday Tyler! I love first birthday's. Good job on the cake, who knew you were such a skilled baker among all your other talents!

I can't believe he is one! I feel like such a horrible friend because I still haven't seen him and now he's one. Hopefully I'll see him before his next birthday. Cute cake! I love the picture of him eating the beak.....what a cutie! It looks like he enjoyed his birthday.

AMAZING! Has it really been a whole year? I keep trying to convince myself that Koy will never turn one but I don't think I'm really that powerful. But seeing Ty's party makes it much more real! You seem to be in pretty good spirits though... I don't think I'll get out of bed on his brithday! MISS YOU!!!!! -Linds

Teri- That is the cutest cake I've ever seen! You are such a good mom. (Not that making cute cakes makes you a good mom). Happy Birthday Tbone junior!

Their first birthday is always a huge deal. Don't they grow up so fast? Thanks for sending us your phone number. I will try to call you tonight and let you know about our pumpkin carving party.

Wow you have had a lot of people comment. Way to go on that cake, martha!! I'm impressed. ..when I have kids and they have birthdays, will come make their cake cute? P.S. I'm working in the nice red brick buildings that are right in front of Dr. Asay's place. I work for four doctors--Dr. Francis, Hadley, Marshall, and Wright. I love it there. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, I know I'm not as popular as you but I appreciate the small gesture you made to such a peon like me. :)
