Blake turns 1!

Wow, one year already...seems like this last year has just flown by. It's been a ton of fun with the little guy. It's been really cool to see him learn things and grow. Abby did a great job of getting his birthday plans together and it went off without a hitch. We had his great grandparents, a few of the grandparents, an aunt and a couple cousins that came out from Utah and California and then a handful of friends from around here....a few being like 40. Crazy. It was a good time though, we did a surfer themed party and had the kids take pictures on the surfboard in front of a beach scene. It was a good time.

Blake thoroughly enjoyed his birthday cake and made a huge mess eating it. Pretty fun to watch. Presents must be big on the 1st birthday, it looked like Christmas....he did just fine....only problem is he didn't really understand the opening gifts part. One of the best gifts Blake got was a rocking chair that Grampy made for him. It's just his size and has the Broncos logo on it. Only 1 and already has his team.

It was a really fun weekend with all the family and friends. Monday Abby, Blake, Tony and me made it out to the lake for a couple hours in the afternoon. It was a little cloudy/hazy from the smoke for the CA wildfires, so it wasn't REALLY hot, but there was nobody at the lake. It was a great day. It tied for second best day of the summer. Glassy and warm water. Would have tied for best day of the summer if the sun had been out. Pretty fun.

Well, now we're into September and getting ready to wind down for the summer. Blake is running around and we can hardly keep up. We're looking forward to seeing what he learns next.

At dinner a few nights ago he was getting a kick out of us slapping sugar packets on the table. You have to watch this video it'll make you smile...
