Landons Birthday Night!

Today is Landon's birthday and we had to have a birthday party in his birthtown...

What could be better than a Iowa farm theme?!!


Faye came over to help make the farm animal cupcakes the day before (thanks Julie for giving me the great idea). We figured that if Faye's son, Eli, could ID the animals then we did a good job decorating them! We had the adult animal and the 1 year old baby animal of course!!!




Do you like my farm theme meal?!

;) I think our guests did! ;)
The party favors...

Now for the big moment...


Eating a cupcake proved to be a bit easier than ice cream...Can you believe that Landon even shared his cupcake with his dad!?!He ate almost the entire thing! What a big boy :)Landon LOVED all of his gifts!
Eli wore his party hat the entire night... he didn't even want to take it off to go to sleep.


Landon had many friends at his party! His beautiful girlfriend, Claire, was all dressed up for the big celebration!


Monica~ I think you held every baby tonight!
Oh what a night!
No, Landon you do not get dessert every night after you turn one!! ;)

Landon's First Birthday!

We took a small road trip so we could celebrate with our family and friends in MN!

We are thrilled that so many people to could come to share this special day with us!
This is Landon's first Freeziac (other than little nibbles)!
He stuck his hands in right away but didn't know what to do. His hands were freezing and he couldn't move!

Mommy had to help feed him...

Delicious!!!


Thanks for coming :)


Mommy can't believe that I am one!

We couldn't be more proud of our Landon! It has been one fabulous year :) We just had to celebrate at Freeziac!!!

The corn pool was our first stop... a what? I asked



A corn pool! This is what we do in IA once the wading pools close :)

Farming is a lot of work!





There were goats, pigs, chickens, horses, ducks, etc!
