My Baby Boy is a year old! It's hard to believe he is already this big, the year has just completely flown by. I wasn't ready for the day, but it came anyway. The kids were so excited to celebrate his birthday and have a big party for him...
Of course we had to start his first birthday with his first birthday muffin...
...wondering what all the fuss is about. Ohhh, there it is! Still a little sleepy, but he did enjoy that muffin!
We had a very busy day that day that involved 2 trips to the school, (well 3 counting including our regular Kindergarten pick up) Jensen was great all day and happy even with my dragging him around half the day. Our first trip at 9:00 was for me to do my final "Reading Store", I've been in charge of our PTA's reading store this year, where the kids get prizes for their reading minutes. The 3rd and last trip was for the end of the year awards assembly. Pierson received an award for "Outstanding Academic Achievement" for scoring a 99% on his end of level Language Arts test! He was so excited to get an award and I was very proud of him! In between those events I made frosting and frosted cupcakes like crazy, then after school it was time to set up and get ready for the big party!
We had our cousins, Grandma and a few friends over for a front yard BBQ. (Backyard doesn't really work for us what with all the dirt and all, but thankfully our front yard has great shade in the evening) Ryan grilled and everyone enjoyed delicious food while the kids played. The friends we invited were all of my close friends with babies, AKA Jensen's girlfriends. Seriously, can you believe he is the only boy out of 5 of us having babies in the same year?!
The babies of 2011 - Jana & Kapree, Kathryn & Heidi, Julianne & Sarah, Me & Jensen, Staci & Alli
I love these girls so much, I am so very blessed with such wonderful close friends! I know this picture will be a treasure in 20 years.
He got lots of fun gifts and had plenty of help opening them!

We were all excited to make Jensen a giant cupcake for his birthday and it did not disappoint! I loved how it turned out, so fun!
And now, what the party was really all about! Here's our sweet, sweet boy enjoying his birthday cupcake...
As you can tell he's already got a sprinkle on his lip, he had dipped into the frosting the moment I set it in front of him!
He thoroughly enjoyed it!
We love our Jensen boy so much!

ONE!! What a sweetheart. Can't wait to see you all!
Such cute pictures of his big day. Can't believe it's already come and gone. Sad how fast these little ones grow up. :( love the cute pic with all the moms and babies!
AHHHH!!! I can't believe your baby is one Josie! Weren't we just in Maui with you so pregnant you couldn't stand it anymore!!?? Has it really been over a year? Time is flying by way too fast. He is so darling. I LOVE every picture of him. Especially those first ones of his sleepy little face in the morning having his birthday muffin. :) And what a darling pic of you and your cute friends! (You look adorable and super skinny by the way!) So fun that you all had babies the same year! Funny because everyone around me had boys. We have 15 boys in nursery this year and NO girls. It's crazy. That really will be a cherished picture in years to come.
We made the quickest trip to Utah we've ever made this past week. I was bummed there wasn't time to get together with you guys, but we are coming the week of the 4th of July so let's get together that week for sure.
Happy birthday sweet Jensen!! Hugs and kisses from your adoring fans in San Diego! :)
