Can you believe it?? My baby is 1!!!! I still can't get over the fact that this year has just flown by ... and now my sweet little Connor will no longer be my baby. Crazy!
I was relieved that "first" birthdays at our house are a little more "low-key." More time just playing with family ... hanging out and enjoying the moment together.
We got up early so we could spend some birthday time in the morning before Dad headed off to school. Connor was enthralled with his balloons. He just kept pointing and saying... "AWWWWWW." Too cute!
Abby made sure Connor had a chance to run through his streamers... what a great big sister :).
The first present of the day ... a dump truck. Connor loves to push things around and put things in other things... so were figured this was the best of the two worlds combined. He loved it!
The day began, of course, with "Birthday Breakfast." Connor's (or really Mom's choice) was scrambled eggs and french toast. Connor was even allowed to have a little syrup this time :). Lucky boy :)
After a sticky breakfast ... a bath! Connor loves bath time... and Dallin does too! (He is there... just cropped out of the pic :)) Dallin chose the bath color for the day... red :).
The rest of the day was pretty easy going... after lunch we went to the park. It was again HOT today... so after sweating for about an hour in the sun the kids were done with the park. So we headed home for otter-pops :). Yes, we are still loving otter-pops in October :). Connor really loved having his very own for the first time.
One of Connor's favorite things to do.... sneak up the stairs and play in the playroom ... all by himself. I snuck this pic when he wasn't looking :).
The Birthday Boy... Connor!
After a fun dinner at Red Robin .... and some tears over the "birthday song" there... we headed home for cake. Connor really wanted to grab the candle flame :).
Wondering .... Who blew out my candle???
Loving the cake... He dug right in :). So fun!
Yes... blue and black frosting are really messy! So the day ended the same way it began... with a bath :).
We love you, Connor!
We are so lucky to have such a sweet, cuddly, curious boy in our family.
Happy Birthday Conner!! What a super fun day!! Super cute cake!!!
ReplyDeleteWow.. what a fun day. Can't get over how old he is.. and how cute too. Love his smiles.. seems like he was cheesing all day long. The cake turned out great and I love that he dug into it. A mom couldn't ask for more! Happy Birthday big Connor boy! We love you!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Where did the last year go? Looks like the whole family had fun celebrating Connor's big day!
ReplyDeleteI heard you went down to San Antonio - hope you had fun!
I can't believe Connor is 1--that means we are just around the corner at our house. Connor looks so grown up! Nice to keep the day low key and just enjoy your little boy.
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to see you guys this weekend!! What ever you say, I think you make fabulous fudge! We sure do miss your cute little family.
Okay, so I just stumbled onto your blog and I am so excited that I check in now and then. It was great to see you this weekend, we sure miss you guys here! Congrats to Dallin on the potty training, I sure wish that would rub off on Cannon. Happy Birthday to Connor, I can't believe what a big boy he is. Watch out for that one, he is darling and all the girls will be after him! Take care!
ReplyDeleteCute cake! Connor and Joey share the same birthday. I didn't know that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Connor
