Technically, the birthday is Wednesday, June 15, 2011, but we decided to celebrate his birthday today. Great day for the celebration. In the morning it was roughly 60 degrees and overcast. While that might not sound like perfect weather, it’s ideal for great photos. The overcast sky means no harsh shadows or squinty eyes. We headed over to the baseball field for some early morning photos and this one was easily of my favorites.
The rest of the day was filled with fun. Great food, family and friends created a very memorable day. John definitely enjoyed himself and that’s all that really matters.
It’s cliche, but oh so true, they grow up so fast.
Today, Cora turned 3. Her birthday somehow coincided with wear your bathing suit to school day. We celebrated her birthday with friends and Family on Sunday. It’s amazing to see how quickly they grow up. It’s almost as if it were yesterday when she was just learning how to crawl. Now she’s running and jumping around. Time flies.
Another year in the books. Thought I’d treat myself to something memorable.
I even had room for it in the box.
Although now that all the spaces are full, I might have to get a bigger box.
Cora officially turns 2 on Monday, April 13th, but getting together people on a Monday night for a birthday part is a bit tough. So we decided to celebrate Cora’s 2nd birthday on Saturday instead. Friends and family from near and far helped Cora officially cross into the terrible twos. This is just one of the many awesome photos.
Our guests were generous and to say she has a treasure chest of presents to enjoy would be an understatement. Cheryl and I gave her a Radio Flyer tricycle.
I was dead set on this being her big gift. There’s just something about the idea of her riding this thing down the street.

Yes, another year in the books. I feel older and lord knows I look older. This last year has been great. New house, new job, new state, and a new car. I’d say it’s been pretty jam packed. I celebrated a day early with a Dairy Queen cake. No matter how old I get, I still love a good ice cream cake.
