For Easton's birthday this year we had TWO celebrations! One while Ryan's family was in town, and another on his actual birthday.
The first one was celebrated onThursday, July 5 at the rental house, we swam all day, then Ryan took Easton home for a good long nap. Ryan's sister's helped me get everything all ready while Grandma and Grandpa took all the kids to a movie. Kristin is a master cake decorator and helped Lauren and I try our hand at it...we ended up just leaving her to it, since she is such a pro!

Julie came with me to run some errands, getting some last minute ingredients and the balloons! When we got back, we set up the banner and baseball lanterns. His birthday theme was centered on the San Francisco Giants and baseball! Ryan and I had found some fun plates and napkins a few days earlier, and the balloons we got him were orange and black (even a tiger striped one to represent Toby, his favorite tiger animal!)

| Happy Birthday Bubbie! |
 |
| Such a happy boy! He pretty much only had raspberries for dinner...you get what you want on your birthday! |
For dinner we had burgers on the grill, yummy fruit, and tons of chips and salsas! Yummy! For his presents, he got a Walk 'n' Ride from G&G Broadbent, a mini 4-wheeler from G&G Doyle, a basketball hoop, and bath toys from Ryan and I, and another basketball bath toy from the Dahl family.

| He loved to push this everywhere! |
Easton did NOT like cake! He was so mad that we were trying to make him touch the frosting and eat it, crazy kid!
 |
| "why are you all singing to me?" |
 |
| "I already ate dinner, so no thanks!" |
We were so glad we had some family in town to celebrate with, it made it feel more real to have cousins running all around him!
On his real birthday, Sunday July 8, Easton was acting a little off at church all day. We came home and put him down for a nap at his usual time, and when he woke up, he had a high fever. Our friends Jake and Haley came over and their cute little boy Kruz to celebrate. We again had burgers, salad, watermelon, queso....so many delicious things! We felt so bad for Easton though because he was crying and so miserable the whole night.

We finally got him to drink his milk at bedtime, and got some medicine in him, and he went right to bed while we played games downstairs. His fever got up to 103.6 in the middle of the night, it was so sad and scary, but luckily after he ate a little more food, and had some more ibuprofen, he broke the fever in the morning! So glad that the Cowdin's were able to come over and celebrate with us!
 |
| Is this not the saddest birthday face you've ever seen? |
 |
| Kruz was a helper and blew out the candles for Little Ink |
 |
| SO excited for the candle....Kruz, not Easton haha |
 |
| "Don't you know I'm sick and don't like cake?!" |
 |
| Poor bubba! |
 |
| He felt better the next morning, and got another package in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Broadbent. It was full of books and cell phones....which was a box straight from heaven to him! |
We love Easton so much, and can't believe he is ONE! He figured out how to stand himself back up without holding onto anything a couple days after his first birthday, so he is officially a toddler now....what happened to my little baby?? It's so fun to watch him grow and learn everyday though!
