He's 1 Already!

Well it is official my baby has turned 1! He turned one on Saturday and we had his birthday party on Sunday! We had his party at Heritage Park just down the street from our house and it turned out perfect. It was a nice hot day, but at least there was a breeze! We grilled burgers, had potato salad and lots of fruit! (My brother's graduation party was on Saturday so we just made double batches of everything). Colton had his own personal cake. And let me tell you I think he has eated enough frosting to last him until his 2nd birthday! At first he didn't know why we gave him a whole cake, but he quickly realized how good it tasted and it was a mess from there! It was a lot of fun. And of course he got lots of awesome presents. Our living room looks like a toy store! You can hardly see the couches in there! Hopefully we will be able to carpet our family room soon and then half of the toys can move down there. Especially the big ones, like his rocking horse, his bouncy car and his 6 foot tunnel! And you should see the garage! He has 4 ride on toys (thanks to awesome Woodbury Garage Sales), lots of dump trucks and diggers (thanks to a friend who has two boys that have gotten too old for them), two strollers, a pool and now a wagon! It is insane... we have no space anymore! Anyways, I have accepted that my baby is growing up! He has so much personallity now it is a lot of fun. Although I am thinking he may need a new little sibling soon.... but Frankie doesn't seem to agree yet so I think he may have to wait a while. For now I am just going to enjoy watching him learn to walk, learn to talk and just explore everything is sight!

Crazy Busy Month!

This is going to the busiest month for us. And I am already dreading it. This Friday my brother graduates from High School. The ceremony is at Roy Wilkins in St Paul becuase they are doing construction on our stadium. Satuday we have a wedding to go to and the reception is at Treasure Island Casino (which means it will be a long night). Next Tuesday is our 3 year wedding anniversary although I don't think we are doing anything special! The 16th is Colton's 1st Birthday and my brother's graduatation party. The 17th is Colton's Birthday party (which is going to be so much fun)! And the next weekend is my nephews baptism. Not to mention that we have taken in my sisters 5 month old raterier puppy! He has so much energy and he is Colton's Partner in Crime! It is crazy! I can't wait until July when I will have some free time.

I can't believe Colton is going to be one already! I feel like I was just in the hospital asking for an epidural! It has been an amazing year! He is so much fun now. Although he is quite the little shit. He still isn't walking on his own... but he can move very quickly on all fours! My mom use to always say the my brother would eat her out of house and home.. and now I understand what she was talking about! Colton loves to eat. We are looking forward to many trips to the lake, trips to the zoo and whatever else comes up this summer!
