if you ever wondered...

...if Matt and i were dramatic, just take a look at our offspring:

Calling all Lions!

Does that title make sense? no.

But it is an attempt to say that i need your BEST thoughts and ideas of things i can do for Davis' first birthday party! He is my little lion so that is what i am going with.

I got inspired by this blog who did a FANTASTIC job planning and creating for her son's first birthday party with a WHALE theme. Cute as a button! check her stuff out! (I just found her in a google search)

I did find these adorable cupcake holders from The City Pantry:

Ok: think Lions, Jungle, Safari, growling...whatever! I just need your best thoughts.

GO!

birthday party planning

i CANNOT believe that this time last year i was sweating like crazy (because it was freaking HOT!) and super white because i didn't want to go outside and I was praying that my little boy would come sooner rather than later because i wanted to meet him and kiss his sweet face. And i still had like a month and a half left. EEK!
We were making plans and arrangements in our small little living space to have a child, all the while not having a CLUE what we were doing. (do i know what i am doing now? uh, no...but still. at least i have experience.)

what started as this:

Is now this:

My sweet boy is getting so big! (and heavy!)

A lady asked me the other day as we were talking about birthday party's for a 1 year old and i was saying "What should i dooooo?" She said "Well, what does he like to do?"

uhhhh, put things in his mouth?

Drool on things?

pull things down?

throw things on the ground?

Squeal?

Poop?

Sounds like a reeeeally fun party. Can't wait to come to that.

HA!

Can this work for everyone's birthday present?

easiest. present. ever.action shot:

and who WOULDNT want this for their birthday?

Who needs a hug?!

Happy 9th Birthday to my sweet Cuz, Eva Gray! Hope you have the best day and your buddy Davis cant wait to see you in September!
