1st Birthday!!!

On September 11th my little Travis man turned one!  I was going to plan a little party for him with all of our friends in Utah, but then Eric got this new job and everything changed.  We had a little mini celebration with Eric's parents when they were out helping us pack, since they wouldn't see him for his birthday.  That was nice.  On his actual birthday we were in San Diego visiting Eric's family.  We invited all of the family to come over to celebrate and then it just so happens that one of my very best friends, Kirsten, lives there as well so I invited her to come celebrate.  She actually came over in the afternoon with her two kids to swim with us.  That was fun.  Eric and Lincoln had a blast playing together and me and Kirsten chatted while swimming around with our babes (her little Scarlette is exactly 6 months older than Travis and is adorable!)  After swimming we had a pizza party with Grandma and Grandpa, Uncles Gary and Brian, Uncle Paul and Aunt Wendy, Uncle Reed and Aunt Gloria, Aunt Rosalie and Cousin Julia, Kirsten and her kids, Kirsten's husband Aaron (who rode his bike all the way from downtown San Diego to be there!!), and of course me and Eric!  After the pizza we sang Happy Birthday to the little man and we had some cake.  Travis loved it!  Check below for an awesome picture of him.  Following that Travis (more like Eric) opened presents.  He got some great gifts from everyone.  Thanks so much.  It was so much fun to be with family to celebrate this little man turning one!!

I'm not done yet.  After San Diego we went to Colorado to be with my family.  We were there between mine and Travis' birthdays, so my mom had a little celebration for both of us.  She wanted to make this cute frog cake for Travis and I didn't mind having a kid cake, so she made it.  It was super cute.  My mom is talented!  Travis loved that cake too. 


I am so thankful that my little Travis man was born a year ago (well, a little longer now.  I'm a little behind.)  He brings so much joy to me and Eric.  I love him so much and feel so blessed that I get to be his mom.  I am trying to give him the best life possible because that's what he deserves.
