The past 12 months

On Saturday we celebrated Oliver's first birthday. I kept saying to myself, "I can't believe it has already been a year" or things like "I year ago I was..." and I'd go talking about what life was like a year ago. Oliver has been so much fun to have in our lives. He has taught me more about myself then I think I ever knew. He has strengthened me and mostly, has made me see life in a whole new perspective. I feel so blessed and honored to have him as my boy.

Here is a look back on the past year...

SEPTEMBER

Happy Birthday Oliver. We can't express enough how much we love you and all the joy, happiness, love and all good things that you have brought into our lives.

AND THIS IS HOW WE CELEBRATED...

We had a cowboy themed party with about 18 little kids running around. We had some pizza, a horse pinata, Funny hats and sherrif badges, a cowboy boot rainbow chip cake, ugly singing, loads of presents and a great time. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us. Oliver is sure lucky to have all of you in his life.

Well, he didn't like our singing, maybe next year???
