1st Birthday

Blake celebrated his first birthday when we first got to Kentucky. I wasn't sure what to do at first because with all of the moving and packing and unpacking i hadn't given it to much thought. So a couple days before I bought some decorations and invited some people in the ward we had recently met and had a birthday party. It ended up being so much FUN! We started at the pool because Blake loves swimming and stayed for about 45 min. Then went to our apartment for pizza and cupcakes!

Blake looks a little worried about that flame and is not sure why dad is letting him play with fire! just kidding, but he was concerned when everyone started singing Happy Birthday. I don't think he knew what was going on...

Until we let him go for the cupcake and he LOVED it! He tried to pick up the cupcake but just knocked it upside down so i just picked up the whole plate and just went for it!

What a mess!
And he had fun doing it!

Here are some friends that we invited and are still good friends with them. Blake loves to play with the little boy, George, and we visit them often during the week.

He was so happy to play with his friends all night! Best birthday ever!

His birthday went past his bedtime so he wasn't able to open his gifts until the next morning, but he was happy to see them! and yes that is his bed head that he wakes up with every morning! so cute!
