Today is Cole's first birthday. We had fun at his birthday yesterday. Jess and Danny had Cole's party at the 2450 East Park near their house and it was such an gorgeous day. It was close to 70 degrees! It was beautiful. Colby and Logan had fun playing on the playground before the party. Emily's friends, Taryn and Treyton, were having their birthday party at the same time so she and Russell went to that party while Colby, Logan and I went to Cole's party.
Here is the cute birthday boy:
They had a monster birthday party for Cole because Jess calls him her little monster. For a fun snack, Jess made monster cookies with eyes and all. They were so cute and so good too. We also decorated our cups with monster faces.
After eating hot dogs for lunch, it was present time. As you can see from the pictures, Colby loves "helping" Cole open his presents. In fact I think Colby opened more of Cole's presents than Cole did. Cole seemed okay with that because he just wanted the toy inside anyway. Logan also got in on the action of the presents. He crawled right over and started playing with the presents too.
And we cannot forget the cake smash! Cole dug right into that cake and started chowing down. He grabbed handfuls and shoved them in his mouth and all over his face. He loved it. By the end, Cole's whole face, hands, high chair, bib, and everything was covered with purple frosting. It was so cute!
We had a great time at the party and Emily had fun at her party too. The weather here has been so nice lately. It seems more like April spring weather than February weather. I love it so I am not complaining one bit. We planted our peas this week and also put some nice top soil on our garden area so we will be ready to plant our full garden soon. We haven't quite decided what we want to plant this year but we have a lot of garden space to fill. This week has also busy because we are preparing for our ward's Blue & Gold Banquet for the Cub Scouts on Tuesday. Next week will also be busy because we will have the Blue & Gold, 3 baptisms on Saturday, and also planning and preparing for Colby's birthday coming up on March 4. After that we might be able to take a breather for a week or so but not really because it is tax season and I have so many things to do at work. So maybe I can relax after April 15.... Huh I am tried just thinking about it...
Well anyway, Happy First Birthday, Cole!
