Party Time!

Tyler's party was great but I'm glad it's over. I definitely think I put way too much effort into a party for a 1 year old. It probably would have been easier to buy a cake but I had fun making it myself. We had it outside at Aaron's parents' house in their big backyard and the weather was perfect. I think everyone had a good time. Tyler had kind of a rough start that day (He threw up after breakfast and then fell and got a bloody nose just after we arrived) but he survived. We ate lunch and then had cake, which turned out to be pretty uneventful. I was kind of hoping for him to tear it apart and smash it or something, but no. He just licked the icing a bit and was finished. Oh well, maybe next year. Thanks to everyone that came and made it fun!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

I can't believe Tyler is 1 already! We celebrated like any other typical day. He accompanied me to lunch and shopping with our friend Karyn. She was even able to snap a few photos for us. We finished out our day with Aaron coming home and while moving one of our dining room chairs, managed to knock Tyler down AND whack him on the back of the head with the chair. So thoughtful, right? So happy birthday - more pictures to follow after his little party this Saturday.

I am finally starting a blog! I know I haven't kept up with all the myspace and facebook things and have even been skeptical about a blog for some time now. But after spending time looking at a few of my friend's, I have finally decided it would be something I could manage and actually enjoy doing. It probably won't look as good as I hope it to but I decided to not be a perfectionist all the time and do it anyway. So because I should have started a long time ago I'm posting some of my favorite pictures we've taken over the last year - ever since Tyler came and made our little family a little family.
