Birthday Party!!!!!!!

We had Kemper's 1st Birthday Party this afternoon and had a great time! We decided to have it a week early because of the way the Army has scheduled 2 4-day weekends for the month of April. It ended up being that basically everyone was going to be traveling next weekend and the weekend after that due to a 4-day so nobody could have come. Easy fix - we'll have it early


We had a cookout with burgers, hotdogs and ribs on the grill along with some other fixins followed by cupcakes and ice cream! Yum!! I made Kemper a giant cupcake for his "smash cake" and he really enjoyed it after the initial shock of being allowed to play with it.

**WARNING - TONS of pictures to follow*** We did video it, and once I have a chance to figure that out, I'll try to post it!

Yeah!!! Delicious!

Such a good sharer!

YAY Kemper!

More cake

What, you said I could!

Hey, what are those up there?!

Gavin says, "Hey, I want to do that too!"

Soon buddy, really soon!!

Such a sweet boy!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!! We love you!

See that sly grin?

It's everywhere!

Straight to the tub.

Haha, where does he get that look from?! ;)

Where'd that cake go?

All cleaned up and ready to play!
