The plan was to have a real birthday party for Collin with invites, a cool cake, friends and games. But, that didn't happen. I'm really tired. (Have I mentioned that lately?) In the end, I called my next door neighbors and asked them if they wanted to have cake with us and sing to Collin. They have a little boy Lydia's age and a baby just about the same age as Collin. They walked over and we spent an hour eating cake and watching the kids make a mess. Now that I think of it, that was probably just what Collin would have chosen to do anyway.
I think these blue eyes are here to stay.
I never claim to be much of a cake decorator; I usually just wing it. Tasted yummy though.
At least Collin seemed to think so.
Happy Birthday sweet sweet boy.

So sweet. I think that is a great 1st birthday party. Love the photos. I also love the quilt that he is sitting on. Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday!! He is just precious, Natalie. :)
Awe! That looks like a fun time. I think I'm putting to much effort into my little baby's first birthday. I need to not make it a huge production and save that for when they can remember!
Wow...I can't believe your little man is already a whole year old! Looks like you guys celebrated in style. Happy Birthday Collin!!
Collin has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. You have precious children. I don't know how I would get anything done around the house with those 2 cuties running around. God Bless You and your family.
Happy Birthday Sweet Collin!! And thank you so much for the gift for my b-day!! I love it. I am so sad that I missed the little party gathering at Melting Pot!! The last week of school was nuts for me--and I was brain dead!! Usually I would never miss a girls night out! I will be there next time!
PS Your photo skills are really getting GREAT!! I am loving your pictures--the lighting is beautiful!!
I think it turned out just perfect. I'm sure I'm going way overboard on E's party. I keep trying to think "Keep it Simple." Baby Collin is so darling, and his mom is equally sweet!
Natalie,
Just stopping by to say -- Why YES I am LDS too! :)
How coincidental!
Your son and mine have birthday's 20 days apart and matching blue eyes. My Noble turned one on May 7th. So fun to have a little one year old man in the house huh?
Loves,
Stephanie Waite
