Yesterday was Owen's first birthday.
I seriously cannot believe how fast this past year has gone, and how much he has grown. I don't have a little baby anymore, that is for sure. It is always said that the older you get, the quicker time passes, but I think having kids multiplies that truth by at least 10. Things seem to be going by a lot quicker now that I have a kid: every moment he is just being super adorable (which is often) seem to fly by; the times that I am trying to take a picture of him doing the funniest things, and then they are gone; his naps (they are WAY too quick); this past year of Tom's school has flown by (hurray). Even cars seem to be driving fast lately.
Anyway, enough of my emotional rambling, on to more exciting things... OWEN's Birthday!
One is a BIG deal. It is the every first birthday. So we had a couple of friends over for cake and ice cream.
Look how cute of a cake I made! Click Here for the instructions.
Owen had never had cake, or chocolate, or ice cream, before yesterday, so I wasn't sure how he would respond to them. I think he liked it though, what do you think?

Tom helping Owen open some presents. Owen is playing with a microphone he got, which is his new favorite toy.
Now I think those parents whose spend tons of money on their kids first birthday parties are crazy (no offence if you are one of them, but come on folks, the kid is not even going to remember it). But Owen LOVES to swim, so we decided to take him swimming, and invite some friends to come along. It was a blast.

That was such a fun party. Thanks for the invite! The pictures turned out great. I love the one of Owen at the fountain--totally looks like it's coming from him.
Why is everyone at the party wearing grey!?! oh and i didn't know that owen had a cousin close by. oh and i am super jealous i want to be close by. oh and happy birthday owen, oh and I can't believe you deprived your son of ice cream and cake for a full year. . . ice cream was one of kendell's first foods. . . and kendell is a chocoholic! chocolate is her favorite
Hey, you were supposed to remind us of Owen's party! That looked like tons of fun...oh well, I guess Tom couldn't have competition in doing QP's with OWEN.
