First Birthday!

So I know that this is a little late; it has been a very busy month.

Austin had a birthday on the 9th! I can't believe that he is already one. For his birthday we decided that since he would remember this birthday at all why go all out on a party. We kept it smaller and just had the Taylor's over.

We decided that we would do pizza on the grill. My brother Scott and his wife Ashley always cook pizza on the grill when we visit. Brandon had me put the whole pizza together on the stone and he took it out. I wasn't sure how he was going to get it off but that is what he wanted so that is what we did. Chris and Christina walked the kiddies while Brandon and I went outside to the grill. We tried everything but couldn't get it off. Therefore, Brandon put the pizza stone on the grill for about 3 minutes and then slid the pizza off onto the grill. Both of the pizzas were so good! Both babies loved them, as well as all the parents.

Pizza face! Must have been yummy!

He also had sauce in his hair, he is not a neat eater when he really likes the food.

In our house, Austin eats naked most night depending on the meal. After we had eaten we had cake. Instead of making a whole cake to put in front of Austin I made cupcakes. Then we sang happy birthday to him. At first, Austin wanted to just take the frosting off, but then when I shoved his hands in Austin just went for it.

Mariel got naked too! She was much neater than Austin.

After the cupcakes, the kids went upstairs and took a bath. The water was very nasty within the first few seconds. All in all, it was a wonderful day. Brandon and I talk all the time about how lucky we are to have such a sweet boy. We love you little man!

We are so grateful to have wonderful friends like the Taylor's. Thanks for coming to celebrate Austin's first birthday with us. We wish that you lived closer!
