!!!!!!Cowen's 1st Birthday Celebration!!!!!




We celebrated Cowen's 1st birthday yesterday. He doesn't officially turn 1 until July 27th at 1:01pm :) So he is still my little baby for a couple more days. I don't know why, but it is so hard for me to believe that Cowen is 1 already. Maybe because he is our last baby? We have had such a great year with him.
The theme of his party was "caterpillars, snails, and turtle tails" and we decorated in bright greens, orange, turquoise, brown, and white.

This little man couldn't wait to eat dinner, so he had to have a few appetizers first :)

Then, he decided that he wanted to play in the water. This is one of his most favorite things to do and since it was his day, we let him be in control of the hose. He was thrilled, as Madilyn usually gets to do this.

Then we ate. Cowen enjoyed all his very favorite foods: shredded chicken, guacamole, beans, and, cheese. He just couldn't get enough and was so happy the whole time he was eating.

He did stop long enough to play with his balloons a couple times though ;)


Madilyn was dreaming of cupcakes and it was hard to hold her back---but we watched Cowen's 1st year video and opened presents....

Cowen LOVED this car and had to sit in it while he and Madilyn opened his other gifts. He just wouldn't get out of it!!!

Opening books from Aunt Jaime. He was thrilled!


This little happy face says it all!

Playing with Thomas the Train toy that Aunt Jess got for him. The kiddos LOVE it.


His first cake before he destroyed it!


Madilyn with her puppy cousins Esi and Eli (Aunt Jaime and Uncle Joe's new puppies). She adores these puppies and is such a good little mommy to them.

Oh yeah baby! He loved his cake and when it was gone he kept saying "more" over and over..so we gave in and he got to have a 2nd one.


Cowen made out like a bandit! Thanks everyone! He enjoyed his celebration so soooo much :)
