Happy First Birthday, Presea!

Presea turned one on September 17th. Jeremy and Denise had her birthday party at their house yesterday. We joined their friend Zach, along with Jesse, Laura, Ryan, Christopher, and Andrew for the celebration. The party was initially planned for Saturday, but the girls are getting over sinus infections, so Jeremy and Denise gave them a day of rest. I felt really bad about bringing Sawyer because he had a runny nose and cough, but Denise assured me that it would be okay, and she was right.

The kids had a lot of fun playing in the backyard and with the toys inside. Presea got a Sand & Water table from Jeremy's parents and that was lots of fun. They also played with a big ball and a ring toss set. The weather was nice so it was a great evening to be outside.

The mower was a big hit. Sawyer asks to mow Mr. Jeremy's yard every time we go to their house.

Presea was drinking the water out of the boat. It was hilarious, but mostly because it wasn't my kid doing it! :)

Chloe and Andrew.

It was great to watch the kids get dirtier and dirtier at the Sand & Water (AKA Mud & Water) table.

Presea and Chloe took advantage of the older kids moving along to play somewhere else.

I couldn't believe our kids sat still long enough for this cute picture with Zach.

Denise and Laura.

Denise did an awesome job on the cakes!

The icing was Presea's favorite part.

Taking a break to pose for a picture.

I think it's safe to say that Presea enjoyed her cake.

Denise made flower lollipops and cookie pops as party favors. Sawyer wanted to eat his the minute he got up this morning. I told him he had to wait until morning snack. He kept asking so much that I finally had to set the timer so that he would stop asking! He was very excited about his cookie pop!

Sawyer's trying his best not to smile.

Chloe ate about half of her cookie and then decided to share the rest with Rosie. She's doing that a lot lately; ergo, Chloe has a new best friend!
