Alexis turns 1!!!

I can't believe it has been a year already that our Bug-a-Boo was born in the back of the van. Time flies by way too fast!! We had her party on the 21st in the afternoon. Of course it had to be the HOTTEST day of the entire summer. I sent out cute little bumble bee invitations and did a yellow/bumble bee theme. She doesn't take to the heat very well at all. We thought she was sunburned once she turned red, but we had the sunscreen on and she wasn't on the swing but for 2 minutes. Come to find out, she was just really hot and was a ton better later on. Poor thing looks miserable. Shelby was disappointed that more people didn't come (we tend to make a big deal about Birthdays), so may need to rethink some logistics of things, but Alexis had a wonderful time!

Her Cake and Cupcakes Cones (Brad requested the mile marker sign cake)

Digging into her cake...she loved it (I had made her a little cupcake for her own, but the cat got it while I was taking a shower that day)

Daddy and Alexis (with her cute ponytail)


Making a mess



Loving that cake though (she is super red)

She wanted more! We didn't break out the ice cream...it would have melted on contact!



Getting ready to open presents--with Sissy's help



Shelby kept wanting to help...Alexis wasn't moving fast enough I guess



Having a drink of Tang....MMMMM!

It was a great day and I can't believe we are moving on to the second year with her!! On her actual birthday she was reliving her birth I think. She was up around 2:30 really restless, by 3:00 she had a new diaper, 3 oz. of milk and was getting ready to snuggle with Mommy in her bed. Finally by 4:00 she was asleep again, but was raring to go at 6:00 AM! The timeline fit with her birthday....2:00-2:30 were the gas pains, 3:00 the water broke and at about 4:00 she was born. LOL....I just hope it isn't an every year kind of thing, even though I thought it was pretty special to me.
