Nolan turns ONE!!!

Yesterday was Nolan's first birthday.  I can't believe it's already been a year.  It's gone by so quickly but I have a hard time remembering him as the tiny newborn baby we brought home from the hospital.  He has changed so much but he continues to be such a great baby and toddler.  We had a wonderful time today celebrating his first year of life.  

Friday at lunch we celebrated with cupcakes! 

I LOVE making birthday cakes for my family and I think this is my favorite so far.  I went with a fish theme for Nolan's party.  Jamie from work printed some GREAT invitations for us.  They are on her website.

So the cake.....  The fish came off and it was Nolan's smash cake.  The bubbles were marshmallows, which I had to put on the cake twice because Ty ate them off the first time.  And it tasted good!  Strawberry cake, chocolate ganache icing in the middle and buttercream icing on top. Yummy!!!

Do you want some?

What a mess.  Luckily he didn't get any in his hair.

Present time!  What's in here?

He still looks so little to me even though he is quickly becoming a toddler.  He is our little peanut.  He is growing and putting on weigh, which is an answered prayer, but he is still only about the size of the 5-6 month olds we go to church with.  We go for a check-up on Tuesday so we'll see what the doctor says.

We also went to a Barons game, local minor league team, tonight with some people from church.  We left early because it's been a busy day and the boys were exhausted but we enjoyed the game while we were there.

And this is Ashlyn.  If three year old boys had girlfriends she is Ty's.  She was being shy tonight.
