*~Happy Birthday Remington~*

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday Dear Remington, Happy Birthday to you!

My sweet little baby boy is ONE!!!!!!!!!

Mike is off work for this week so we stayed up 'till after midnight so that we could be the first ones to say Happy Birthday to our big boy. We then blew up over 20 balloons and put them on the floor of his room so that when he woke up, he would see all the balloons!

We then went to subway for lunch and played at Freestone Park (the park where we got married). We love that Remi can grow up in the very spot where we said I do and where we found that we were having a boy.. we celebrate everything at this park so it was a no brainer to come here on his birthday as well. Anyways, Remi walks now and for Mike and I, seeing him walk all over 'that' park really hit a spot in our hearts. Our baby boy......was ONE years old!!!!!!! We couldn't help but say "Wow.....life is amazing" while looking at our 'big boy'.

He's got the cutest little gap in his teeth! I love it!!

FUN FACT: We took our wedding pictures on this bridge too :)

Our Miracle baby!! xoxo

He was totally checking out a little girl that was walking by... Stud!

He loves his Daddy

Such a big boy!

This is the very spot where we got married and its also where we learned we were having a Boy :)

What a day!!! Our baby is now a toddler!!!! Can't believe it!! Life sure is amazing.........

Hello Santa

Today, Remington got to meet Santa for the FIRST time....although this isn't his first Christmas (he was 2 weeks old last Christmas) we are still acting as its his first.
He loved... wasn't afraid of Santa. He didn't cry or anything while sitting on Santas lap....but he didn't smile either. He was more intrigued by all the other kids running around :)

Merry Christmas!
Love, Remington

It's Party Time!!!!!

Remingtons first birthday party was an absolute success!!! I spent lots of time planning every detail of this day to make sure it was perfect!! .....and it was!!!

The theme was airplanes and the main colors were yellow and blue. I made some spinach, turkey and cream cheese pinwheels. My sister made her famous pasta salad and my mom made delicious weenies in the crock pot. Mikes dad also brought his home made guacamole and salsa. We had soda and water for the adults and juice for the kids as well as fruit loops, animal crackers and popcorn. Mike and I made the cupcakes and cake and airplane shaped sugar cookies.

The hot chocolate favor bags were a hit! I filled little bags with a packet of instant hot chocolate, a few marshmallows, chocolate chips and 2 mini candy canes. They were set up in a suitcase with a "baggage claim" sign above and the area to drop off Remis gifts was labeled "baggage check-in".
We had lots of personal touches such as the cupcake toppers: Remington Airlines- those labels were also used on the favor bags.


We had close to 30 family and friends come to celebrate Remingtons first year! They were so kind to get him all sorts of gifts including books, new outfits, bath toys, trucks, the alphabet train, two huge teddy bears (that ironically both of my best friends bought him without knowing), and my mom and sister also bought him the same gift- a musical helicopter.

Mommy and Remi

Remi and Daddy

Remi LOVES stuffed animals and as I mentioned above, both of my best friends, not knowing, got Remi the same stuffed bear. And let me tell you......this kid spotted one of the bears from a mile away and did whatever he could to get it in his hands......

Like I said...he LOVES stuffed animals :)

Remi didn't miss a beat when it came to eating his first cake. In fact, as soon as daddy set the cake down in front of him, Remi went face first into it for the first bite. It was great!!!

This was his face when we were singing Happy Birthday to him :)

"Here you go Daddy"

"Try some cake Mommy"

 It was sure a great day :)

Busy boy!!

Yes.....Remington is suuuper duuper busy! He's so curious about what everything is, what everyone is doing, what your doing on your cell phone and computer (he'll literally pull your hands down to look at your cell if texting and he does some crazy maneuver to peak around at the screen. He LOVES playing with boxes and hiding in them. He's SO much fun!!!

This was his favorite 'toy' for a long time!!

"Look what I can do Mom"

Had to get comfortable somehow!

Lets just say he got under it a lot easier then he got back out

I think he's pretty handsome :)

He wanted daddy to play under the box with him too

Look at that sweet face...and his pretty eyes!!

He figured out this new trick at Grandmas when no one was looking......

And this new trick too!!

These two boys are my whole entire world!! I breathe these boys, love these boys and am complete with these boys
