I know I have been absolutely horrible at posting about Truett lately. We converted all our videos and photos to Josh's mac computer, so if he has his computer I can't post anything with media. Sorry. Before I would take photos and video from my old phone, but my new phone doesn't take anything worth posting. Maybe one day when I am blessed with an iphone. (hint hint) lol.
Happy 1st Birthday Truett
Some good cake photos.
Cake Judy baked, and I frosted. Heidi helped towards the end. This was really a good workout on my hands.
Family photo. We dressed up for the theme.
Decorations. Truett loves balloons, so we put balloons as centerpieces on all the tables.
Josh made this cow/pig painting cutout. The kids had fun putting their heads in the cutout for pictures.
This was the next morning after the party. We saved the balloon arch and Truett loved playing in it. Like I said, he loves balloons right now. By the way, that was his first word "Baoon."
So one of the fun parts of being a parent is creating new traditions. We purchased this birthday crown so that all our kids can wear it for all the birthdays. Here is the first. Then when I am old I can put all these pictures together and cry. :)
What farm themed party isn't complete without a hay ride.
Food and decor. We did it really simple, only hot dogs, chips, watermelon, and homemade ice cream.
Another cake shot. Here is grandma helping clean up and daddy laughing in the background. In the back back you can see the party favors I made. The homemade tractor lollipops didn't workout. So, we had bandanna bags of candy and farm stickers with balloons attached. It was super cute.
Here is the cake we had made at Publix. They made an all green cake because they didn't have any farm or tractor themes. I was on the hunt all week around town for something to put on this cake. Finally, one late ladies night out at Wal-Mart I found a lego farm set for a whopping 60 bucks. I used it to decorate for the party and am going to wrap it up for Truett as a Christmas present. The other side of the cake said Happy Birthday Josh. Truett's is the 16th and Josh's is the 17th. Josh was surprised. People brought presents for Josh and wrote him some sweet notes. He was really surprised and excited.
Daddy playing with one of Truett's birthday presents. As soon as Truett unwrapped this he tried to sit on it. It was so cute. He didn't pay much attention to the other packages because he unwrapped this one 2nd. Thanks Uncle Zach and Aunt Lauren.
Truett unwrapping the farm car and trying to get on it.
It was a really good time. Thank you to everybody who came and celebrated with us. We are so blessed to have Truett as a part of our family. I would have had this posted sooner too, but I was finishing up his first year photo book on Shutterfly. I can't wait for it to get here. It is 68 pages long. I wish I could share it with you here, but maybe I can carry it around with me and show ya'll in person.
