Finn's 1st Birthday

Brace yourselves for an overload of photos.

On July 23rd, my tiny little ball of cute turned a whopping 365 days old.

My baby is now a toddler.

We celebrated that day with ice cream cups, because what do toddlers love more than ice cream?

Nothing, that's what.

(By the way, I'm currently on a black and white photo kick. I love how it takes out distractions and focuses on emotions. More on that later.)

Everyone enjoyed their sugary goodness.

Even Denny.

No, he isn't filled with rage.

That is just his face.

You get used to it.

I think Finn enjoyed his most of all.

Jump forward a few weeks.

EVERYONE came to visit.

Grandma Taly, Papa & Betty, and Abuelos.

We waited for them all to arrive before having his party.

Where did we have Finn's party?

The splash pad. of course.

He LOVES the splash pad.

L.O.V.E.S.

There was lots of water fun.

The adults sat around like potatoes and gossiped.

...Damnit, Dad.

Look, it's me!

Me x2!

Enjoying the snacks.

He's a dork.

The beautiful Emilyn.

My parents.










Opening his gifts.




My love.




Pinata Time!




Hunting for the perfect pinata tree.
We picked the wrong one apparently.
The children got attacked by fire ants.




Found the right tree!
Ready, set, go!

You can see the crazy in her eyes.

Again... damnit, Dad.

Mya and her loot.

Happy birthday, my little love bug.
I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you!
