My baby is One!

We had some summer fun at a local park where they have a huge play park and a splash area as well. Tatum, Ty and I met Ali with Bailey and Mandy with Ellie for a picnic and then some splashing fun! Of course this is the extend of the water fun Tatum had, I think she barely got her hands wet.
But Ty got drenched! He loved it. We'll definitely be going back here.


After we dried off and changed, we enjoyed the large play park as well. Look at my smiley little driver!


Ty is always happy, or at least most of the time. He still isn't walking but stands and swivels. He just needs to work up the courage to take that first step!


On his actual birthday, Shauna, or GM, came by baring gifts! Even though the presents were wonderful, the balloon was the hit!

She also brought by some cupcakes and Ty got a whole one to himself. Here he's saying, "Just set it down GM, I can handle this." :)

Instead of relinquishing the cupcake, Shauna gives him a small piece, which he engulfs.

Now this is where he wanted to say, "Now really lady, hand it over. Enough with the small pieces!" Unfortunately, I got a video but no picture of the next move. Shauna let him have the rest of the cupcake and he proceeded to put the entire thing in his mouth! He wanted to say, "And that's how a man eats a cupcake!" :)

To complete a fun night, we went to hill top park for a picnic and then some kite flying. Always a fun time.

Look at these three, too cute!

I can't believe this little baby is one! Where did the year go???

Ty so badly wanted the kite, which of course is a bit too fragile for his rough love. But Garrett hooked the string of the kite to Ty's back belt loop and as Ty crawled down the field, he had no idea he was flying the kite all by himself. :) Another moment I got on video, no pic.

Here's our hard diva, chillin' like a villain in the car.

And a perfect birthday was ended opening a few more gifts.

What a big kiss for the giraffe!

The next night we met the Beaston's at Islands for a delicious dinner and then headed back to our house for some dessert. Look at this beautiful cake Shauna made for Ty!

Ty's favorite food is blueberries so even though there was a large slice of cake in front of him, he went straight for the blueberries. :)

And then it was dig in time...

and then it was sugar high time! :) Needless to say, he didn't go to sleep that night until 10 pm!

And to end a wonderful weekend, I had my mom and my two Aunties, Barbara and Jane, down for a yummy brunch and then off to the races! We get a table almost every year and at first I wasn't sure I was happy about the $25 a seat cost. But after we enjoyed a nice place to sit, two bottles of wine, delicious food and a great view, I was reminded that it was a pretty decent price to pay for the amenities. Of course, I think I would have loved it all that much more had I won big but I suppose "big" is relative when your bets don't get higher than $2. :)
