Colin James turns 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We celebrated Colin's first birthday today!!!!
Lots of friends and family joined us for the special event :) Follow along as we watch Colin's first encounter with a cake....The theme for Colin's cake was Thomas the Train!However, Colin had his very own individual cake. You are now looking at the beginning of Colin's first cake eating experience. At first I had to help Colin figure out that the cake was edible. Prepare yourselves... it gets a little messy...We had a lot of family and friends there to witness Colin's attack on his birthday cake!The first couple of hand swipes were not so bad. Please notice how the cake in the above picture is fully in tact....This is what the cake looked like 1 minute later!!! And believe me... most of the cake ended up in his belly!The cake that did not make it into his belly ended up....
well, you can see the above picture :)Austin decided to join in on the fun too!After the cake escapade, Colin took a much needed bath in the kitchen sink.Here is a not so messy Colin eating some pizza. Please notice that in a majority of these pictures, Colin has food in his mouth! This is when he is the happiest :)GG and Uncle Jon chatted with Grandma out on the patio. Two days ago, Denver had a blizzard that dumped 14 inches on our front porch. Today we enjoyed 55+ degree Spring like weather and watched the snow melt before our eyes!This is what the weather looked like 2 days ago!!!! Got to love Colorado! We had 20 adults and 20 kiddos to celebrate with. Here I am with the Ania's :)

Colin took some time to play with the adorable baby Hayden,
who turns 9 months tomorrow!
