Happy Birthday BBQ!



I know it's so cliche to say it, but I can't believe my baby is ONE! I'll be honest, the last 8 months just flew by. (The first four went sort of slow. Lack of sleep, need I say more?)
We love our baby girl. We decided to have a birthday BBQ with some of our friends here in Columbus.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared delicious food.
Whitney was on her best behavior and sat in her high chair for quite some time. She was totally entertained by all of the guests. Thank you to Ellen who took SO many wonderful pictures. These are all courtesy of her:

Whitney & Davis: Birthday buddies 2 years apart.



I love how Whitney is just sitting all by herself in her "thrown." She sat here for a while!
How mean of me, I know. But at least she was happy.

Daddy & his girl


Whitney & Jadyn



Lately, all Whitney wants us to do is "walk" her around everywhere.


These are the two dog cakes I made for Whitney. Please don't ask me what breed they are supposed to be. She is officially OBSESSED with dogs. I don't know how she can spot them so far away, but when Whitney sees a dog it is, "Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da!" over and over and over.

She was so excited to get her hands on that dog!


Singing "Happy Birthday!"


Ready to dig into the dog.


So yummy. She devoured the pink tongue.



Happy Birthday, Whitney!

Wow I can't believe she's 1-year-old already. It's fun to watch your family grow up. Miss you at Manila. It was a good first day today. I'm back in 1st grade sharing a class with Mandy so she can TSA in the AM. Always an adventure. RaeAnn

WOW!!! You guys really know how to throw a party. How is she already one. I can't believe how much older she look from when we saw her here in Utah. Those cakes are amazing, you are going to have to give me some lessons.
Also, your trip to Texas looked like a lot of fun. Can't wait to see y'all again, and make sure to tell Whitney HAPPY BIRTHDAY for me!!!

Good work! She is a doll. I wanted Gavin to dive in like that - so I could get that picture. He wouldn't have anything to do with it. I'm glad all of your hard work was put to good use. :)
