Owen's First Birthday Party!

I must say, I felt a little disorganized with Owen's birthday party this year, which is very unusual for me. I seriously think I was in denial that he was turning 1, so most of it was planned last minute! But even though the wind decided to show up and blow decorations and food all over, we have amazing friends who showed up from Benson and Sierra Vista (I think we had over 30 people show up!) and made the day memorable for Owen. It was also very special to have my parents in town to celebrate with us! So thank you all for coming out to help celebrate our precious son's first birthday! Also, thank you, thank you, thank you to all who gave Owen gifts for his birthday - he is one lucky little boy and loved every gift! Here are a few pictures from the fun day....

Me and my little boys....who didn't wanted to play, but was forced by his mother to take a picture, hah. :)



Owen running around smiling...what he did most of the party

O and his cake.....he's never had cake before, but he knew exactly what to do....he must have a sweet tooth like his mom! :)

Owen was all business eating his cake.

Carson eyeing the cake :) Poor guy thought it was his party for days and kept asking when he was getting his yoshi cake. I had to keep reminding him that it's Owen's birthday and his birthday is in August. :)

Carson tasting some of Owen's cake as Owen eyes his cautiously :)

Stuffing his face!
