Our first trip around the sun...

Have I said how difficult it is to work and keep up with twins and their blog?  Geez!

So the boys turned one on July 13th...my how fast a year has gone!  I love a theme, so we opted for a whale-themed birthday party complete with ocean water!  The boys had a blast with all the attention, presents, and of course...cake!

Oh the cake!  Foster and Jaxson each had their own smash cake to eat, although there wasn't too much smashing.  Foster was very meticulous in scraping the icing off with just one finger and eating it very carefully.  Jaxson, on the other hand, was a little more forceful with his cake pushing his hand down into the cake and shoveling handfuls of cake into his mouth.  Foster remained quite and content while slowly cleaning off almost the entire top layer of cake; Jaxson had a meltdown once he realized he was covered in cake and blue icing. Both boys immediately went into the tub after their cakes and then returned to the party, fresh and clean.

What a special day with all of our family.  Check out our pics & "A Year in Pictures" below...
