My dear sister came in town the past weekend to pick up her van. I took advantage of her new camera while she was here, and had to her take some pictures of her ADORABLE nephew to document his 1st birthday. He was such a good sport and allowed us to lug him around the farm for 2 hours while we desperately tried to humor him and squeek out a smile. The pictures all turned out SO good and I love every single one!! I have a few favorites, and here they are!

To quote Jessica: "dreaming of the future..." CUTE!

(I looooove this one!)

Ok I loooove this one too!!

Thank you sister for spending so much time on these pictures!! I looooooooove them!

Happy Birthday Jack!!

I can't believe I have a one year old!! This year has flown by, but then I can't remember my life before Jack came along. He has brought us more happiness than we ever thought possible and we're only one year into life together. (Talk to me in about 14 years and we'll see if I remember how cute and sweet he once was). ;)

Happy Birthday my sweet little baby!!! Here you were just 1 year ago:

We had his party on Saturday and had chili, potatoes, cornbread, cookies, cake and lots more!! Most of our friends were able to make it and some of Jack's too! Grammie and Pops, Grandma and Grandpa all came and helped spoil their one and only grandson.

Here's the little guy surrounded by presents.

A John Deer tractor? I bet you can't guess who gave that to him...

Thanks Candice (YOUR AWESOME) for taking all the pictures and helping me out so much!!

Be very impressed with my baking skills, but don't look too closely. I'm still working on the decorating aspect of my life.

As if you couldn't be impressed any more, yes I made all of these cookies which spell "Jack is 1" And they were freaking delicious I might add.

First taste of his cake...




I think it was a hit!

Straight up to the bath for this guy!

And thank you Brindi for coming early and saving me!!! Your the best!
