Who likes to party? We do. :)

Ok, so I am still pretty upset with myself for having a dead battery the day of his birthday, I didn't take "detail" pictures of all the cute decorations I made, but I guess in the end all that matters is that we have pictures of this handsome little boy. :) I have to thank my sister Jen for taking pictures for me, she came better prepared then I did! Jeremy designed his birthday cake in to a baseball, it was so cute. I also had help from Brianna, Marisa and Jarom on the cupcakes and my mom helped me with the baking, and some of the sewing! I appreciate everyone's help so much, it really made things easier...

First of all, here is the invite I made on Photoshop...


This is pretty much everyone who came to his party, we had a great turnout and it was so fun to have everyone together!! These were Bridger's party favors. If you can't see them very well, they are little glasses with the noses attached. They were cute, Bridger wouldn't wear one. :p Little stinker. The garland in the background is the same paper I used for the flag thing that's hanging at the top of the picture. Also, to the very very left, I had Bridgers 1-11 month pictures hung up with mini clothes pins on a little rope that matched his birthday hat.

He LOVES loves loves loves loves cars and trucks, this is now one of his favorites...He ended up just wanting to play with all of the already open presents instead of opening more.

You can kind of see his little birthday outfit I made for him, he has a baseball tie onesie and leg warmers, it looks SO cute on him.



Here is a better picture of his onesie... 

Calum (Left) & Bridger (Right), they are a couple of cuties.

His birthday hat...that he didn't like. :p haha

Birthday cake time...



Doesn't it look like he just LOVES birthday cakes???

This is how much...

He only got this dirty because I pushed his hand in it, he wasn't very happy with me.

mmmmm.

Bridger with all of his presents...or, most of them at least. And some of the decorations. The quilt I made him is on the right, I can't wait to finish it! You can't see them very well, but the cupcakes have little toothpick flags that matched the garland and flag banner, I am a freak about details if you couldn't tell...

This is my niece Cailin, modeling her glasses and sexy nose for us. She's such a cutie.

One last thing...




I decided to do a time capsule for Bridger to open on his 18th birthday, so I made little cards for people to write on to put in the jar if they forgot to bring something. A few people made special envelopes and cards with pictures, everyone else wrote on the cards (memories, things they love about him, predictions, drew a picture etc.) Jeremy and I are both going to write "mom & dad" letters to him and I am also going to write down the major milestones and when he hit them and any other really special memories from the past year, I am going to print pictures from the party to put in too. I put in the 1-11 month pictures, some other pictures from throughout the year, the party invitation and pieces of the decorations from his party, as well as one of the glasses/nose party favors. It turned out really cute and I can't wait to finish it and seal it up until he turns 18! Mostly, I can't wait to read what people said!! 17 more years...

Anyway, I thought his party turned out awesome and I seriously had SO much fun planning it and making his quilt, I loved it. I wish I had more time to do things like that, maybe soon, when I graduate. :) Bridger has been loving his new toys, and I think he loves to be one, he acts like it. Jeremy and I love him more than anything and are so grateful to have blessed with this handsome, sweet little man. :)

  3. It's ABOUT TIME!!! ;)
    You know that you already read all of the "words of wisdom" notes that we wrote to him, so just confess already! Mine was probably the best in there... a nice little reminder about how his parents burned him on his first birthday. xoxo

  4. I didn't read at least THREE of those notes. So I still have to wait 17 years...it's not my fault that everybody else didn't tape theirs up. ;) ha ha. Yours was pretty good though, I am sure he will really appreciate your words of wisdom...lol.
