Party picture overload

Saturday we had Caleb's FIRST birthday party. I can't believe my little guy is almost ONE. We spent quite a bit of time outside. It was a very nice day and not too hot. The guests included Grandma and Grandpa B, Grandma and Grandpa K, Great Grandma and Grandpa W, Uncle Nolan, Aunt Gina, Uncle Brad, cousin Caden, cousin Kim and cousin Emily. The kids spent time playing in the kiddie pools and sandbox. Caleb was given a toy push lawn mower from Caden but Isaac seems to have claimed that for himself. A bunch of family members went together and got him a picnic play table. The top comes off and we can put sand and water on top for them to play with. Isaac and Caleb love it, Isaac loves to stand on top of it too!!!! Caleb also got a new book, a bath towel, soft blocks for the tub, and money.

Caleb was very clean with his cake. He started picking at it a little bit but did not dig in like Isaac did. That's the obvious difference in their personalities. Along with cake and icecream we had maidrites, chips, and salad. It was a great day and went way too fast.

Here are some pictures from the party.

Little fish

Isaac has a little slide that we keep in the house but I decided to haul it outside and put it in his kiddie pool for some extra fun outdoors. Isaac loves it, but only when the water is warm. Some days he knows the water is cold and tries to go off the side before hitting the pool. We put up a little bigger pool for him but he doesn't like that one as well so that will go up next year.

Congratulations Joshua Dennis!

Today we had a Graduation open house for my nephew Josh. It's so hard to believe Josh is now a young man at 18 years old and has enrolled in the National Guard. He will be going off to basic training in a few weeks and we won't see him for 5 months. I still remember the day I found out I became an Aunt. I was 11 years old and in the 4th grade. Congratulations Josh, you've come a long way and we are very proud of you!!!

The boys did pretty well at my parents aside from the fact they wouldn't take a nap since too much was going on. We were able to see Daryan, Norah and Bjorn which was nice. This was the first time my parents had all their grandchildren together. We had to get pictures of course.
