Birthday Bash - 1 year old!

What a great year.  I'm sort of in disbelief that Peter's first birthday has come and gone.  In reflection of his first year, a good friend told me - "the days are long, but the year's are short".    That's kind of how I feel.  Every day, and every night still feels like an adventure.  At the same time the last 6mo feel like a blur.   An amazing, wonderful, exhausting whirlwind!

I am one lucky mama, wife, sister and daughter.  That's the best way I can put it.  Thanks for everyone's support this last year.

Here are some pics to recap the weekend (Crescent Lake).  Peter was surrounded by both of his grandmas and grandpas, his parents and his aunt Karin - such a happy boy.

We met Jake in Bend and he got to carry Peter across the finish line for the Cascade Lakes Relay (Jake ran 37mi in 24hrs!)

Grandma made Peter a homemade angel food cake!  Sadly he was so exhausted he didn't want any.  We tried several times over the weekend and he just wasn't interested in cake.  Can't complain as a parent!

Happy birthday Peter!  (He was totally exhausted at this point and crashed pretty soon after)

Opening up presents the next morning. 

Safety first - Love mom and dad

"Chicka chicka boom boom!"

Tried to offer him the cake the following day - still a no go.  Totally not interested and he literally crawled right through the cake.
