Greyson Turns 1

Somehow before my eyes, Greyson turned 1.  It is just not something I can quantify with words and do justice.  Maybe because he's our third…I let go of the worries you often feel with parenting the first time around…maybe it is because I didn't venture back to work after having him…or maybe it is because of his sweet little personality and amazing demeanor.  But this first year with him was a blast from beginning to end.  It was busy and crazy as I learned to navigate the waters of 3 kiddos…but he is just flat out a fun baby.  He is very happy.  He goes with the flow.  He loves to eat and play and boy does he communicate well.  God definitely knew what he was doing when he gave us our 3 babies.  And I'm blessed everyday to call them mine.  And to have the chance to enjoy the last year of snuggles, smiles and love with Mr. Greyson Oliver.

We kicked off the morning with a donut breakfast at our favorite little shop…me, Grey and Coop have taken to making this a weekly venture when everyone is well.  Such fun memories I know I'll always cherish!

Chocolate donut for the birthday boy!!



His birthday was on a week day which meant school days for brothers and the usual busyness that goes along with it…but we were in the middle of kitchen renovation so we headed to dinner at our local Mexican place.  
After dinner we headed to DQ for an ice cream treat…a favorite in our house!!  Here is a video of us singing him a Happy Birthday song with candles and ice cream…a little non-traditional…but I have to say one of my favorite birthday candle blow-outs!

On his birthday weekend we invited our loved ones over for a party!  I decided for his party I wanted to make it small, thoughtful and surround him with the people who love him most!  That's exactly what we did!  A little Bubble Guppie balloon action (a new favorite of his), some delicious cupcakes and family family family!

Here he is opening presents:


A little brotherly help

And a little living room dance party to cap it all off never hurts!
A big thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate this little guys big day!!  We are such a blessed family!!!
