Happy Birthday Bella!

Today we celebrated Bella's first birthday! The past year has gone by so fast. It seems like she was just born a few weeks ago! Cindy & Jon were happy to smile for the camera, but Bella was distracted by two 3.5 year old boys who were goofing off in the seat next to her.

She was excited to eat a cupcake after we finished singing to her.

Can't you see the joy in her face after tasting the delicious sweetness of icing and cake mixed together in one glorious bite!

Collin and Brody waited patiently until they were served some cake & ice cream. If you had seen them earlier you would've known that they were wearing different shirts when we arrived at Matt & Julie's house. For some reason they decided to go upstairs and pick out new shirts from Collin's closet. I guess it's not only girls that change clothes 10 times a day.

I just had to take a picture of Audria trying to eat a piece of cake with Katelyn in her lap and Barrett sitting next to her shooting a dart gun. I would've ended up with cake on my lap if I had attempted this!

I asked Dad to take a picture of Ann, Audria, and me. In true Daddy Steve fashion, he took something like 20 pictures. We got a good one....

But I think Audria was ready for the picture taking to be over!!!

(Side note: Ok. Maybe Audria wasn't really complaining about having her picture taken. I think she was describing how she felt when I grabbed their heads to bring them closer to mine per Dad's instructions.)

Lauren was the photographer at Bella's birthday. She filled up her memory card over an hour before we left! We grabbed her and Julie to get in a picture with us too.

We had so much fun at Bella's birthday! The boys crashed in the car within the first 10 minutes of our trip home.

(Another aside...I"m sorry if I always end posts with "We had so much fun...", but it's true! I guess life is just fun!)
