The 1st birthday party

I got in trouble from family for not posting these sooner. Sorry, things have been a little crazy this week. The birthday and party went very well. It was hot....it's July...but the kids had fun playing in the pool and sandbox. Isabel got a lot of really nice things...not that she really needed anything! :)

Peek-a-boo!!
How did you know my signature color is green???

See that lady next to Iz....not the mom. That's Iz's Godmommy Dana. She is WAY pregnant (her baby was due Wednesday) and somehow she sat on the floor and got up!!!! Amazing. She is being induced tomorrow. We are very excited for her. You can follow the fun here!

Iz and her loot

My first attempt at a home made B-day cake.

(After tasting it J replied "The cake is not so good b/c it's not chocolate Mommy, but the frosting is the best in the world. Can you make a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for my Bday?)

That pink layer was supposed to be between the top and the bottom layer here. But, it got a little too tall and rediculous for a 1st party. But it was tasty!

Swim time!

Splashing fun!

This photo is hilarious for so many reasons. Josie (E's Godparent's daughter) would frequently nick food from E and Iz's trays while we were at the beach. I was pretty good about making sure she never got the meat (they are vegetarians). But here, E was eating a REAL hot dog and by the time I got over there, I was informed she had eaten seveal pieces. Sorry A & C.

Take my food, just don't ake the sippy! Another food thief (cousin Andrew)

Iz's new ride from Nana and Papa, with cousin E.

This is the best part of ANY party...cake!

Not bad Mom!

Thank goodness the cake is meatless!

Happy Birthday to me!!!
