Adventures in the Artic we call Paradise: birthday

Before we get to the birthday fun, I thought this was a cute picture. Logan made Ashton breakfast in bed. It consisted of Alphabet cereal with no milk. They each had a bowl. This is how it played out...I was doing dishes quick before Ashton got up. Logan heard Ashton in his room and went to say good morning to him. He then ran out to the kitchen and got two bowls and the Alphabet cereal. While Logan is pouring the cereal in the bowls Ashton is yelling in his crib. Logan yells back to him "I'll be right there Ashton" and "I'm coming brother." It was too cute to intervene. As I was finishing the dishes it got real quiet. I ran back to see what was going on and this is what I found. Too cute :o) I love my boys. They have been acting like real brothers recently. Logan has been helping Ashton a lot. He helps him play trains, but also calls him the baby monster when he throws them all over the room. He tries to help him "be a big boy" as he calls it when he helps him walk. It's just so amazing to see.

Relaxing with the cereal.

1st Breakfast in bed

We decided to do Logan's birthday party early this year since Jeremy will be leaving next weekend and be gone for his birthday. I wasn't up for much this year since I haven't been feeling good, so we just had a few families over for pizza and cake. We had 11 kids total here ranging from 13 months to 14 years. It was a blast. Logan has been talking about his birthday since before Ashton turned 1! lol! He really wanted a CARs party....so that's what he got :)

Logan's CARs cupcake cake.

So happy being the center of attention.

Blowing out the candles. He knew exactly what to do.

All the friends.

Our new neighbor Maria. She is from Ecuador and about 37 weeks pregnant. She loves Logan and Ashton. She calls them "preciouso" We are excited for "Baby David" to be born here shortly. Maybe on Logan's birthday!!

Ashton and B-Bop Briar at their own table.

We didn't forget Ashton in this picture. He was just enjoying his cupcake and ice cream way to much to disturb him. LOL!

Seeeeeeeeee

and....

Opening presents.

Today our baby turned one year old. We didn't have a huge party for him because we are all recovering from being sick. The little man did not mind though. Logan wanted to take his brother to McDonalds for lunch so he could play at the "play park." They both had a great time. We had a neighbor family come over for some cake after dinner. Of course I forgot the ice cream. Logan and I made Ashton a white cake with sprinkles that Logan picked out. I also bought chocolate cupcakes purely for picture purposes.....I'll admit it. Ashton did not really eat his cupcake, just played in it. Here are some play by play pictures so you can take part in his special day.
