I'm One

  1. Alec is officially one year old!! He had a great weekend and his first b-day party. He wasn't too interested in opening presents or eating any cake (crazy I know,) but he still managed to have a heck of a time and is very grateful for all the wonderful gifts he recieved. Here are some cute pics from his actual b-day and the party on Sat.







    This is the second attempt we made at giving Alec his b-day cake. He's not so into it














    Would rather feed it to dad.














    The eaten b-day cake - my mom and I made it. It was the same as the cake I had for my first birthday.














    The balloons were the best part of that party - and were fun the next day too.














    Alec with his buddy Alex.














    A new cell phone from Aunt Ne'.


















    The blankie made an appearance.
















Lauren knows what a boy likes.

Labor Day


We had a great long weekend - my cousin Zach got married, and so my dad and Loretta were in town for the festivities. The rehearsal dinner was on Sat at Maggianos, and then the wedding on Sunday - the reception was at the DCPA, and was easily one of the nicest and most spectacular venues I have ever seen for a wedding. The room has giant windows that overlook all of downtown and the mountains, and at sunset it was incredible. Plus - Jackie and Zach couldn't have looked any happier!!! Alec missed out on the wedding festivities b/c they were past his bedtime, but the 14 month old ring bearer who was in the wedding was adorable, and got us really excited for Alec's wedding debut in February at Nate and Renae's wedding! Alec did have fun at the pool on labor day and over at my aunt's on Monday night. Plus, he is finally getting over his first real cold - he had a terrible runny nose and diarrhea for almost a week, so we are excited to be moving past that. Here are some pics from the weekend.
