a final word on the birthday boy

Friday morning was Judah's day!
Who? Me?
Oh yeah! That's right! I'm 1!
We started off the morning by revisiting our favorite morning treat - Orchard fresh donuts!
Unfortunately, Belle had been complaining that her "throat hurt" all morning.
Apparently "throat hurts" in 3 year old actually translates to "I feel like I'm going to toss my chocolate milk all over the Orchard Shop Floor". But alas, this message was lost in translation and poor Aron was holding Belle when she...you know...vomited. Look closely at the yellow no slip sign. Yep, we like to mark our territory.

Aron rushed her outside where she...finished...3 or 4 more heaves (gross, I know). But as soon as we wiped her mouth she said, "Okay, I'm ready for my donuts now."
She ate two and had no further problems. Aron lost his appetite and couldn't eat his donuts or coffee. Bummer.

Yuuuuummmm! Apples are ready for the picking. The Gala are DELICIOUS!
Apparently turning 1 makes you a professional stunt man?



Here's a few (I lie...many, many) shots of our 1 year old!



Look at that orneriness! See his clothes which I specifically took off...knowing they'd be ruined after he ate spaghetti? The little stinker dropped his plate full right on his formerly clean clothes.
He found it funny.

By evening the scene was set for a little celebration!
And an impromptu cake
Belle grabbed her camera to capture the special moment.
It only took one taste...
of Buttercream goodness...
And he was ALL IN!
We spent the evening outside, and Judah found every way possible this first day of "1" to be as messy, as busy, and as adorable as possible!



a beautiful day celebrating our 1 year old son!

your kids are so adorable (must take after their beautiful mom!). Love getting a little peek into your lives! And the daredevil boy thing is natural, I can't think of how many times I think Kaden is going to hurt himself!

what beautiful moments captured! He is just so cute! I love the spaghetti dinner!
I am also trying not to feel jealous as I think about this Orchard place you go to for donuts. Oh how I long to taste them! I guess I will have to settle for dreaming about them tonight. I dont think I can plan a visit in the morning (the plane ride takes over 24 hours)
Eat some for me will ya?
