i’m not even going to talk about what month it is today. nope. i am going to talk about what’s been happening in our neck of the woods recently though. playgrounds, and driving toy cars around the front lawn, and library trips (lindsey is reading through the nancy drew series right now!), and first birthday parties.
the party went off without a hitch (except for it being rescheduled because of weather). the menu: quiche, cinnamon rolls, muffins and hash browns, watermelon, coffee and lemonade. brunch! my favorite kind of menu. we brought it all to parker’s favorite spot, and swam and talked and ate with some friends. it was simple and perfect and i’m so glad we did it.
and that’s that.
such a sweet day for a sweet boy;) looks like summer's treating you well, dear!
Simple and perfect… I need to take a clue from you. I always try to keep it simple and then "just one more idea" and I end up hating the stupid day:) That looked darling, and very fun!!
sweetness. love the parker bag. think he looks so much like his dad.
Looks like a lot of fun and a great time together with family! Bliss!
Looks like a great first birthday to me!
I'm dying over that photo of Parker in his sweet bag. DYING! That kid is just too adorable.
omgosh… baby in a bag. too cute!
he looks like he had so much fun, so much that he just couldn't keep up 🙂
Parker-in-a-Parker-bag is just about the cutest thing ever. And how do you look so glamorous allllll the time? It's amazing. I'm in awe.
@claire, oh you are very kind but i don't! you just don't see as many of the non-glam pictures on the blog 🙂
This kid. He's so big! Wonderful and simple birthday party. The best kind!
Seems like a perfect day. I love the photo of Parker passed out on your lap. Nothing better than a sleeping baby.
the party looks perfectly sweet and simple for your adorable little guy!
wow. now that's serious progress on the germ-a-phobic front. just look at parker, playing with his bare hands on library step stool. bravo, girl! haha! 🙂
@tessa, yes! i am definitely making progress! 🙂
Hawt mama.
sounds like an awesome first birthday party 🙂
Parker in that tote? best. ever.
