My Tanner Bug is O.N.E.!!!

I seriously can't believe a year has passed (so cliche, I know!) People told me that time goes by quicker with the 2nd child, and I totally believe them now. I feel like I just left the hospital with a tiny little peanut yesterday, and now my peanut is making naughty little messes, and has even started tormenting his older brother!! Oh where did the time go?! It's milestones like these that make me realize how precious time is, and how I need to sit back and enjoy this precious time with my babies......

For Tanner's birthday I found the cutest little caterpillar cake via Pinterest (yes, I am slightly obsessed!) So, I decided to make the Hungry Caterpillar his birthday theme. The invites and cake turned out so cute. I was pretty impressed with my copy-cat abilities. :)

Nothing says "Awesome Mom" like feeding your 12 month old sugar and red dye!!

The Presents!!!

PURE ENJOYMENT!!! Seriously love these faces.....

This is the not-so-awesome present from Grandma. Don't get me wrong, the kids LOVE IT!! The parents, not so much. It consists of like 2.7 million plastic balls. To a kid, what's not to love? For a cranky, tired parent that's constantly tripping over toys? This present is sick and wrong!! Ha ha. I mean, thanks MOM!!: )

I love how Dave is pointing in this picture. I think he is asking my mom if she is going to come over and pick up the 2.7 billion balls everyday. (Yes, I just increased the number)

I mean, just look at the possessed look in Landon's eyes....... I have walked into Tanner's room after naptime to find the entire ball collection covering his body. Landon is so great to share!!

This toy is currently tucked away in a very special hiding place......

He had an awesome birthday and was seriously spoiled. We were so glad we got to spend it with our families.
