Cake Day Photo Shoot

The day of Dylan's big party Matt had a photo shoot. After he was done Dylan and I went down for a shoot of our own. We got some great shots of Dylan and her little cowboy boots! We had her stand by an apple box to show how big she's getting. I'm sure she'll be spending many a days on film sets visiting mom and dad.

Cake Day Cone

Here's some shot from Dylan's actual cake day. We opened some presents, played, celebrated, and then walked up to our favorite West Seattle Ice Cream shop, Husky Deli. Dylan had a cone bigger than her head! AND LOVED IT!!!!

Happy First Cake Day Little One!

You made it, we made it - wow, what a year it has been! So exciting how much you've grown little one. Just yesterday Auntie Beans and I were baking cookies, taking long walks, your dad and I were trying to figure out how life would be with you and now we can't imagine it without you!

More Birthday Party - Look at all the kids!

I'm telling you, there were at least 19 kids or more at the party. I stopped trying to count 'em all.
Faye with her pizza having a good time.
Jackson and Charlie - cousins.
Dylan with her party hat on and lots of ice cream in her face.
There it is, the birthday cupcake!

The whole cone in her mouth. Now I'm convinced she learned that from her Uncle Ben.

One of the big attractions of the night, next to the food, was the airplane.

Birthday Party!

OK, so Dylan officially turned one on March 18th. It is amazing that time has flown by like that. It seemed like just a few days ago that we were bringing her home and enjoying our little bundle of joy. Well, here is the first of many posts from Dylan's birthday party at Stellar Pizza - a great place to have a party like this, if I do say so myself. Christine was the force behind it all and it shows. Everyone had a fun time and lots, I mean lots, of people came out to celebrate. I'm not sure if it was the pizza, mini cupcakes, mini ice cream cones or the beer that brought 'em out... Regardless, it was a hoot.

So check out Lil D cramming her face with her mini cupcake and mini cone. Double fisting it! I think she learned that from Uncle Ben or Uncle Bob or Uncle Chuck...oh boy, the influences in her life!

More Boise Pictures

Here's some more photo's from our super fun Boise trip in Feb. And for anyone wondering about that cute little green sweater it belong to Matt when he was a wee one.
