Happy Birthday Owen!

We had a fun birthday for our little birthday boy yesterday! I can't believe that he is already one year old! He is such a fun and happy little guy. He is walking all over and trying to keep up with his brothers! I think I am in trouble! He thinks that everything that his brothers do is the most hilarious thing in the world. He is so much fun to have around!!

We didn't do too much during the day since Joseph had school. It was killing Kael all day because he wanted to "help" Owen open his presents, but I kept telling him that we had to wait for Joseph. Finally around 3:00 Joseph got done and we got to open the presents. My mom sent some presents for him in the mail so I had those wrapped and we had a blast watching Kael and Aidan open his presents! :) Here are some pictures.....beware....if you don't like pictures, stop now. There are a million of them!

The cute birthday boy. Notice the concentration and self restraint that Kael has to use so that he doesn't run over there and tear open all of the presents!
This was about the extent of Owen trying to open his presents. He just wanted to chill and watch everyone open them for him.
Kael's dreams coming true. :) What a good big brother.
Ha ha...my presents!
He just wanted to smack this one because it made a cool noise.
Mommy trying to control the stealing of the birthday presents!

Hmmm...what is this singing thing?
Posing with his presents.
The boys playing with one of the toys. This present has kept them entertained since we opened it. They LOVE it!

How cute is he?
Kael and Aidan fighting over Owen's present.
Trying really hard to share!

Owen loved his new tool set.
Checking out the Little People birthday party.

We had a lovely dinner of Macaroni and Cheese for Owen since it is one of his favorites. He ate a ton of it. Later we had the whole neighborhood over for cake and ice cream. I accidentally ordered a whole sheet cake that feeds 48 people. We only ended up with 8 pieces left, so we had a lot of people over! Owen LOVED his cake!

The cake. Not as good as my grandma's but Costco does a good job for $16.00

Happy Birthday Owen!

Happy Birthday to me!
Not so sure about the cake and all of the singing.

Trying to grab the flame of the candle.
His first taste of the cake. Joseph gave him the piece with his entire name on it. It was huge!
Hmmm...that was pretty good!

Look Mom! No hands!

He wouldn't pick up the cake. He just kept laying his face in it and sucking all of the frosting off!
Kael. This is the first time in history that picky eater Kael has EVER had cake and ice cream. I guess he was trying to impress some of his girlfriends that came.
Owen still going strong. :) We were laughing so hard!

YUM! Cake!!
Still working on it....
He has never been so happy!

Oh dear! I think I am getting full!!

Jon and Bo. I would be scared too if I were Bo! :)
Ashley, Janel, Julianne, and Jenny
Owen....finally done eating.

He didn't go to sleep until 1:30 in the morning. He was on a sugar high. He just kept crawling around laughing!






As we were cleaning up we looked over and saw this.....

Making sure that no one is watching....
Just a little taste....
No one saw so he went for a bigger piece...

YUM!!
And finally Owen today sporting his new hoodie and new shoes!



Happy Birthday buddy....we Love you!
