It's been a year?

I swear time goes by faster and faster with each kid. I cannot believe Colton is already one! He was a very lucky boy this year and got to celebrate his birthday on three occasions.

The first was a joint party with the Jensen family for Corbin (b-day April 18) and cousin Cyra (May 6).
My sister in law made these yummy cake pops, which Colton devoured in like two bites.


Colton and I were in Denver on his actual birthday (May 17), so of course we had to have a little celebration there. Thanks Megan for hosting us! My best friend and I had babies only 14 hours apart, so we were so happy that Amee could come celebrate with us too. One year old and already found his soul-mate, what a lucky boy!
Colton enjoyed his "king for a day" chair and opening presents for about 3 minutes, but it was fun while it lasted.
The best part of a one year old birthday party is, of course, the cake. And two one year olds is even more fun.
Amee was such a lady, she daintily nibbled the frosting while Colton dove right in and left no part untouched.
Amee eventually figured it out.

We all knew it would end this way . . .

And finally, we had a little birthday party with some friends at our house. It was supposed to be at the park, but about an hour before, the wind started blowing and dark clouds started rolling in. So I made the quick decision to hurry and clean my house and just do it there. Of course, in the end it turned out to be a nice calm night. Oh well, better safe then sorry, I guess. I think it was fun anyway. This time we had ice cream cone cupcakes. Yum!
Thought I'd add a quick video so you can see Colton on his first birthday!

Happy Birthday Colton! We love you and are so glad you came to join our family!

I can't believe it's been a year, either. I still imagine you pregnant! :) Sorry I didn't make it to book club - we didn't get to Utah until Friday night. I'll try to catch the next one if you'll let me know when, where, and what book!
