Carders Birthday Party

My baby turned 1 last Sunday. I can not believe how fast the
time goes by. We celebrated it after Caden's concert last
Saturday night. We had fish and shrimp tacos for dinner along
with homemade salsa and chips and a big bowl of cut up fruit.
It was yummy! Then we had cake and ice cream.
We celebrated at Aunt Marcy's house in Mesa.
Here is Carder looking bashful as we were singing Happy Birthday
He is not bashful though, as you will see in the next pic.
He just stuck his hand in the cake and ready to eat.
He thought this is pretty tasty!


So we just let him dig in all by himself and he loved it!

He did get quite messy. But I think it was worth it.




Here's a group shot of some of the family there.
Notice Marcy is now a brunette. I don't think she
is having as much fun as she did as a blonde. J/K






The other table there with some of the group.


Then it was on to opening presents. He got a musical phone,
a cute little barking puppy, and tickle me Elmo. (Jaron has been
saving the Elmo for Carders 1st birthday for quite some time.
Thanks for parting with it Jaron-I know it must have been hard) ha-ha






We made it a fun night of Wii playing and of course the computer
geeks below were playing on it. Caden and Trevon.
(they are two peas in a pod)





















Sorry Grandma I did not get a better shot of you but I
thought it was cute how you would kick your leg up when you bowled.
She was pretty good. She also played tennis against Savannah.


It was a great party and I love to spend time with family!
Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us stay at your home.
I know it was a houseful, but the more the merrier.

We made it an extended weekend. We came down Friday
and stayed through Monday. It was Carders 1 yr. Birthday
on Sunday and then we went to the Zoo as a family on Monday.

I'm sooo behind on posting and sorry I missed some Birthdays
and happenings but it is too overwhelming to catch up and so
I'm just catching up the last week is all.
