Par-Tay - the big O-N-E

For Jayden's 1st birthday, our neighbors graciously allowed us to use their pool by our house for Jayden's party.  This was such a blessing because it was such a fun place to hang out, with little preparation, and just be with a few family and friends and chow down on some birthday cake!

It was somewhat overcast and rainy at the beginning of the party but hello, it was a pool party so it was great! 

Jayden spent most of his time climbing steps, watering flowers, sliding across floats and of course, getting in and out of the pool.

Here we go for the picture overload...

We were delighted to have grandma and pa with us!

All of these guys are super special to Rance...

Oh words cannot describe my heart of love and thanks for my mom and Brooke!

Jayden has his Pa wrapped around his finger.

This is Jayden's Pop and Nona!  They are such blessings in our lives and have always been like parents to us here.

Best of friends...Ben & Rance...Wyatt & Jayden

Jasmine & Jess - MY SISTERS through our Heavenly Father

Nana with her son & two grandbabies!

He loves climbing steps...

Boy loves to water some flowers - please notice his intense excitement!

A cake with a TRACTOR was only fitting...

There was NO holding back when the cake was placed in front of him!  He wanted to share with everyone. 

 

I love family - we were so grateful Rance's sister Marla, Devin and Kenleigh were able to drive in from Georgia to be with us!

Love this picture of Dana, David, Melissa and Anna underneath the waterfall :)

What are these two lovebirds talking about?!

After the party, we were able to grab a few shots of Jayden with my parents before they headed back to eastern North Carolina.  Jayden did not want his Pa to leave.
