AAAAA....chocolate cake...I dig birthdays! This was my first one...and boy did my parents throw me a cool party!
A CLOWN came!!

I played in the ice chests... Then I 'mingled'...hi Grandpa Why can't I carry my juice everywhere and bite on it? Places to go... People to meet!
Here is Evan on the chair arm, Grandma leaning over to me and Grandpa watching me too. I had 40 Family Memebers and Friends at my house! I just loved all the attention! Here is Jennifer, Grandpa, Tori and Hector. Here is Jennifer visiting me in the hospital last year...

Here are Judith and Luke (He's 8)...they visited me in the hospital a year ago...

Here is my Uncle Sid, watching the clown and enjoying a samich. Here is Aunt Lalli and my Daddy... They came to visit me in the hospital last year too, with Lalli's sister

Here is Uncle Sid, Rick, Nicholas, Tommy, Melinda, Jenn, Uncle Jay, Grandma and Aunt Lalli. Melinda came to visit me in the hospital too, but Mommy had just started taking photos with our new camcorder/camera...and it was very blurry unfortunately!

Here are Rachel and Karl...they visited me last year too!

Oh Look! Here is Daddy and Grandpa...Hector, Tory and Jennifer are talking behind them... Here is Grandma and Rick... This is one of my favorite photos of Grandpa, Grandma and Daddy looking over 'brand new me' last year. Mommy and I lived here for the first three days of my life. She said that she never put me down, unless there were visitors or she was changing me. The nurses came in constantly to make sure I was surrounded by pillows in case I fell asleep...but Mommy doesn't think she slept for three days...I don't know if I believe that!

My Great Grandma got to see me for almost a full year before she passed away...I'm really happy about that too. Here she is with my Grandma (her daughter) the day I was born.

My Uncle Landon came to see me too...he was at my birthday party, but we didn't get any photos of him, unfortunately. Here is Jenn and my Uncle Jay...he was at the hospital last year, but when he came, Mommy wasn't taking photos that day.

Here is my funny Grandma with our clown... Here is my Grandma and Grandpa with me on my BIRTHday. Boy I looked different last year! Here is Auntie Cheryl with her two children, my 'bro' Evan, and gorgeous Emily. Here is Big Jim, their Daddy Auntie Cheryl came to visit me in the hospital too

Jennifer and her niece Sabrina came to my party after doing 'Race for the Cure' all morning with their family! Another 'hottie' at my party!

Our neighbors Justice, Bill and Ann came over! Bill works for the FBI and here is my Daddy having a serious conversation with him...I wonder what Bill was thinking with Dad's Elmo hat on? tee hee!

The whole day was just awesome! There was face painting, singing, parachuting, and BALLOONS!! My favorite!! When the coast was clear I tried to rummage through the clown-chick's bag.. Daddy always catches me! MAN!

Here I am eating lunch before the big song! Judith and Luke were by my side. Happy Birthday too meeeeeeee.... Look at Evan's face painting...love the glasses!!

To the LOVE of our Life... We are so glad you had such a great day...you bring so much joy to our life...you are an absolute angel!

Happy Rosh Hashanah...Happy New Year!

Yes, I am a ONE YEAR OLD old today. Quite a bit has changed from a year ago... but it'll take too long to tell you it all. My day started with Mommy coming into my room at 6:15 am, with a camcorder, singing Happy Birthday. OY, all I wanted was milk!! Well, the rest of the day was fun...we played, Grandma came over to play too! I got my photo-shoot done, see....

Here is my Daddy at one and Mommy at one and little ol' me...
I sure am going to miss all the fun of my birthday!
