Birthday Day!!!

Long post but this is how Gage spent his actual birthday!

Nana brought a present in the morning...

His very own mini cooking set!!

Seriously, this kid loves cooking/stirring soooo much it's ridiculous! I think his next word might be "BAM!"

Then he got a birthday donut. Which his mom REALLY helped him out with :)

Then we had the gang over for a mini birthday dinner. Sutty LOVED the balloons.

Grandma Kay brought Gage this giant ball!

Nana got him some bath markers. (Thanks a lot mom!)

Where's Gavin?

Yaaay bath toys!!

Then Grammy brought over their present. A lawn mower! Which he pushes back and forth like a vacuum. This kid is sooo his father's son! LoL

Quote from Justin pre baby "I am not going to have baby crap all over my living room like other people. I'm going to put it all away everyday" Bwhahahaha Who lives in ToysRus now??

But who needs all those toys when you have a giant salad bowl?

DETERMINED to smash it in a million pieces. Notice there is NONE on his mouth!

What do you do with 3 one year olds that just ate chocolate cupcakes? Send them to the bathtub!

They will kill us for this one day but this is totally getting framed in our bathroom!

Trying out the tub markers

"But I DON'T WANT MY BIRTHDAY TO BE OVER!!"

Birthday Boy!!!

Gage only liked his cake for a couple minutes.

Then it all went down hill...

which ultimately led to this....

A year ago today...

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!!! Thanks for giving Mommy & Daddy the best year ever! We love you more than you know!

The Boys

Sutton * Gavin * Gage

Watching the cupcakes bake...

By popular demand....more "Hot! Hot! Hot!" :)

Funniest video ever!!! (Don't worry...no one was seriously hurt! LoL)

Sutton breakin it down! He would let out a squeal every time the music stopped. Sooo funny!

Lazy Sunday morning

In my attempt to capture every last moment of his first year I was videotaping and taking tons of pictures the last couples days before he turned one. This was the Sunday before his birthday and he was being quite the ham!

"Can someone help me?"

Such a boy!!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

If you know my mom, you know she is always cooking (lucky us!). She started letting Gage stir things on the stove while she cooked always telling him to be careful because it was "Hot!". Now, he has an OBSESSION with cooking, stirring, pretty much anything being done on the stove. If anyone is cooking anything he will grab one of his many utensils floating around our house, hang on your legs and say "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!" over and over and over until you pick him up. If you don't...he will throw the biggest fit you've ever seen! It's gotten so bad that one of us will have to bath him while the other cooks dinner....just to distract him!!!

Here's a couple different videos of Gage's first real word (besides Dadda and Momma).

Playhouse Fun!

Thank you Payton for passing on the fun!! We looove it!
