So I FINALLY took Easton to get his one year old pictures taken. I have been dreading the whole picture thing because we have never had a great experience with a photographer trying to make him smile...he always just screams at the strange person looking at him. Today he was so funny. The photographer would squeak the duck at him and he would laugh so hard and crinkle his nose.
John took Coleton to Fathers and Sons last night. Coleton was so excited to go. He kept telling everyone that his Dad was taking him hunting. We kept explaining the difference between hunting and camping, and Coleton just kept saying that Dad could use his gun.(It's a nerf gun, and I am sure that John would have been very successful with it.) Anyway, on Friday morning Coleton woke up early. (Coleton loves to sleep in and we are so loud in the mornings that he gets out of bed, shuts his door and then goes back to sleep.) About lunch time he told me he was tired, so I told him if he had a nap he would be able to stay up late with dad. He went running up to his bed and slept for two hours. When they finally got to the campground, they had a blast. They made smores, watched a movie, and played games. They did go on a grasshopper hunt...thank heavens John is creative so that Coleton wasn't disappointed. Coleton loved the fact that on Saturday he woke up before John did so he got to "wake up his dad." I had to laugh when Coleton and John got home, Coleton was talking in a deep, tough voice and strutting around. He thinks he is pretty cool after spending the night with just guys.
I cannot believe my baby is ONE! It seems like he was just born. We had a little birthday party for him on Monday. (We will have another one with Johns Family, so I will post more pictures later.) I could not fiqure out a good theme for his party. The only thing that Easton really loves is swimming, so we just had kind of a beach party.
This was his cake...a little swimmer guy.
Easton was all over the whole cake thing. Who needs to blow out the candle when you can just still the kisses off the top of the cake? He loved eating the cake, but the ice cream gave him a huge brain freeze.
and more gifts.
