Yesterday...

...our little guy turned 1!!! Wow, this past year has gone by so fast. His actual birthday was very lo-key, except for Jake and I telling him Happy Birthday about every 5 minutes, plus a special drop-by from our friends Megan, Jake and Abby, who are visiting from Georgia (even though Porter was asleep in his crib and Jake was asleep in the car for the visit).

Porter did get in some quality time with Dad while he played
the grown-up version of Mario-Kart, Blur.
(he had some great bed-head hair going on)

We had a BBQ party on Saturday night to celebrate his big day with family.
(Sorry, picture over-load....he's our only one)

The grill master, thanks for braving the heat for the sake of your son's party!

Cousin Savannah, Porter and Uncle Parker
Uncle Bridger
Reese & Blaire
Grandpa Kody (he was soooo excited to have this party for Porter, no sarcasm in my typing)
Please take this hat off of me
What do I do with that?
He started off, licking the frosting off his finger tip
The Russian (Esther), Aunt Lauren & her friend Ryan (and Jake photo-bombing in the back)
Uncle Tyler & Grandpa John
Family pic, he decided to shove his entire cupcake in Jake's mouth! It was so funny!
He finally got the hang of it

Grandpa John, Great Grandma Pat & Grandma Karen (sorry mom, not the greatest pic of you, but it's the only one I had and I'm really sad but I didn't get Grandma Wendy in any of my pictures, but she was there and was so nice to let us use her house!)
Porter getting spoiled with all of his loot!

Thanks so much to everyone who came and helped to make Porter's big day so special!
