the last first

Our little buddy turned one today! It is sad to think that this will be our last first birthday to celebrate with our children. But you have to end somewhere, right!? Which also made me kind of feel bad too, that I didn't make it very memorable. Just a few basic presents, and then as you will see further down..., just cupcakes. (which didn't turn out quite right)

I am becoming such a lame mom!

(or just a lazy one)

 

 I didn't wrap the presents, because what one year old really can open their presents. So I had the bright idea of just laying the wrapping paper over them. But even that didn't work. Still needed help from the siblings.

 I found this on zulily and thought it was the cutest thing. It is inflatable, so you can bounce around on it. And surprisingly enough the max weight on it is 220lbs. You betcha I tried it out. :)

 This little ball popper-thingy I got at a garage sale. When I brought it home to test it out Jack was in love. But this morning he took a little time to really get into it.

 This picture I put in because it makes me laugh and smile on so many levels.

 Here is the grand birthday cupcake! He is more curious about the flame than anything...

 notice dad and Livy holding down his hands to make it through the birthday song without getting burned.

 But after the candle was gone, he wasn't too sure about the cupcake.

 mmmmm...

 What the heck is this stuff!?

 Happy birthday Jacky-boy!
