Peyton's Frist Birthday!

Look who turned ONE!! This was taken on his birthday at the exact time that he was born a year earlier!!

Wow you sure have changed a lot over the past year and our lives have been changed forever too. The past year has been crazy with many ups and downs. I remember the days I thought I would never get a good nights sleep again. Now you sleep like a champ for 10 to 12 hours a night!!! Nothing is better than that:)

Here's Peyton all ready for his big party, just waiting his guests to arrive.

The first guest to arrive was GG, Peyton sure looks happy to see her. They enjoyed a lot of good play time together.

Let the party begin! So glad it turned out to be a nice day. I was worried it might rain but it was perfect.

I had to take a picture of his cake before it was frosted in case it didn't turn out. I am good at a lot of things but one thing I am not good at is decorating cakes. So lucky for me Mikkel is really good at that kind of stuff she saved the day and made it look cute!

Here come the presents! It was a little overwhelming for Peyton, (and me) but he did enjoy it and he got SO many fun new things. I have had to clear out more space in the closet so all the new things don't take over the family room.

Peyton had lots of helpers to get the job done. These were some old pros at the present opening business and they showed Peyton how it is done. Thanks Nate, Traj and Tav!

Checking out the cool new cars.

Shaye the garbage man taking care of all that warping paper.

Even CeCe wanted to check out the new toys.

The before pic...

Peyton all ready to dig into his cake...well sort of.

.Peyton liked the frosting..

...but that is all. Shaye broke off some cake and put it in his mouth and he threw it on the ground. He didn't care for it much and couldn't quite understand why we were all making such a fuss taking pictures, videoing and trying to get him to stuff his face. It didn't last to long and he was done.

The after photo. Not to much damage, he really wasn't digging it.

He did love playing with all of his grandparents. They were growling at eachother, which is one of Peyton's most favorite things to do. Gramps isn't to bad at it either, looks pretty scary.

Silly guys.

It was a wonderful day and we were so glad that so much of our family could spend it with us. I really can't believe a year has gone by and Shaye and I are so grateful to have sweet Peyton in our family. He really does bring us so much joy, we love watching him learn and discover new things. Which it seems like all the sudden he is learning and figuring things out at a extremely faster rate just in the past two weeks! He has taken his first steps and is busier than ever. I can't wait for what the next year holds, we love you Peyton!!
