MY BABY IS 1 :(

So this past weekend we had Braxton's first birthday party! It was a blast and sad all at the same time. It just amazes me how fast time flies by. Its just not fair, they are suppose to be little and want to sit on your lap and just look up at you forever!! Not running around, climbing on furniture, pulling stuff out of the cabinets, picking up and eating bugs or much less just plain walking. And its like he is picking up a new word every day, its just crazy how fast it goes. So anyway he had a construction party complete with bulldozer and dump trucks and the whole kit and caboodle. I myself, ran my self ragged trying to make it the best birthday party every created in all to figure out he could have cared less that the cake had trucks on it or his smash cake wasn't a 100 percent a replica of a hard had. But I gave it my all and tried my best and I will say it turned out the best it could have possibly turned out minus the homemade ice cream that for some strange reason decided it just wasn't going to freeze that day (always be prepared with Blue Bell, I wasn't however but the show did go on). Now to the good part. He had ATON of presents and was not at all interested in opening them after he received his ride on toy that he just couldn't wait to get out of the box before trying to ride. So mom ended up opening the presents and while he rode around. But we were very thankful for everything he received and he has played with every toy so far however it will take him several months to wear all the clothes. Now on to the presents he received so much I am probably going to leave out some stuff because it was like Christmas morning all over again. On the list we have(big breath) a toy box, a picnic table, 2 Elmo water play mats, a bubble machine, a Elmo sprinkler, Little People zoo complete with the animals and extras, a phone, some book, some puzzles, Doodle Pro, A TON of CLOTHES, some shoes, sand toys, money, 2 ride on toys, a John Deer Tractor ride on, bubbles, a sprinkler hose, fishing pole, baseball glove and ball, some trucks and cars, new bedroom decor, a sandbox, and last but not least the best present of all- the Overall Bill quilt my granny(the one that keeps him during the day) made completely by hand with alittle help for some of the women in the family(my mom, Andi and myself). IT IS BEAUTIFUL.. The picture does it no such justice what so ever. It is so great I think I will just give it its own individual post when i take individual pictures of each square for now you just get the whole picture. He had a blast didn't really dig into his cake like he did for the photo shoot earlier in the week but all in all he was plum tired and passed out when almost everyone had left. Now I only have a yr(which i have now realized flies by) so I must go start planning the next one!! JK!! Later Taters
