Happy Birthday Graham!

My baby turned one today! So happy and so sad at the same time. The last year has flown by and I only see time speeding up as the boys get bigger and we have more and more things we can do with them.

Jason's brother Todd and his family flew in last night. Jason and Todd decided to go to the Race today, so Jen, Karen and I took the kids to the Children's Museum to burn off some energy today. All the kids had a lot of fun, but since this is Graham's birthday, the pictures will focus mainly on him and all the fun he had!

I think this was one of the first times he's gotten out and been able to run around. That's the perks of having an auntie and Grandma with Mommy! I can chase him around and let Grandma focus on Jack! Anyway, I think he had a fun day...and that's all that matters!

How is he an expert at steps already?!

Peek a boo!

He LOVED this rocking horse!

What the heck is this stuff?!

After Jason and Todd got home from the race everyone cooked out and let the kids play in the backyard. Jason and his dad put together Graham's big present from us, a Cozy Coupe car. Jack got a Power Wheels dune buggy from my parents and sister, so it was only fitting Graham got a car too!

Yeah, it's my birthday, I can go up the slide if I want...

I was pretty sad about the car actually. I did not want one with the big silly looking eyes on the front. I just wanted a normal looking car...but this is all I could find, so this is it.

Riding in his new car...

Although this is a much better way to get around...

With all the excitement of going to the parade, Jason's brother's family coming into town and the race, this awesome mom forgot to get a cake for her baby's first birthday. Never fear though...Jason's dad went to the local Dairy Queen and came back with an awesome ice cream cake. He really came through for us!

Grandpa did a great job picking out Graham's ice cream cake!

All in all I think Graham really enjoyed his special day filled with cousins, cake and cars. I mean, really. What more could a boy ask for?!

Mom! Everyone is singing to me!

"Man that shit was good...but I've got a massive brain freeze now!"
