Lil' Slugger's First Birthday

My mom made the amazing cake and cupcakes!  They were all just as delicious as they looked!!

The outside decor...

The guests finally arrived and here they are playing in the sand.

More guests enjoyed the sand toys...

And still other guests enjoyed the swing set and wagons...

Later the guests were treated to some sprinkler fun! =)

Here were Brody's guests:

Jerry (Dave's dad)

Nola and my dad, Ed

Mary (Dave's mom)--she enjoyed passing out the favors!

Brody REALLY enjoyed his party!!

Grandma (my mom, Peggy) showed him his new favorite toy...legos!  He played with them for quite a while!

Me and my little cutie!  I love this picture of us!

After playing with blocks for a while, he ventured out into the yard and found out he enjoyed the sand. =)

THEN, he discovered the water.......

and he crawled back and forth between the two!  Not sure who was more surprised at my "ability" to let him get so dirty--me or my friends! =)  Glad he enjoyed himself though!

He even had some "refreshment" from the pool...yuck! =) (But so darn cute!!!)

then the pants came off, and he enjoyed even more pool time!

LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

Daddy and his filthy boy!

BATHTIME #1 =)

(out of 3 for the day...)

After some hesitation at first, he went straight for the Twizzlers....guess he remembered his cake the night before! =)

Guess it's tough to eat cake! =)

Now THIS is the life!!

High five from Mommy!  Way to go, Buddy!!

That's all folks!  My party was a HUGE success!  Thanks to all my friends for coming and celebrating with me!!!! =)
