July 4th at the Lake!

For the Fourth of July this year, we went to my grandparents' lake house at High Rock Lake. Aaron & Stacy were in town so it was really great to be able to celebrate America while they were actually in America!  :)  And it was fun that they have gotten to spend both of Davis's 4th of July's with him. Last year, he was only 4 days old on July 4th & slept through most of the day... so he decided to make up for it this year by boycotting his afternoon nap to spend more time with everybody.  :)

Davis wanted to be festive in his red, white & blues. 

My favorites!

Davis's 1st Birthday PARTY - His Wild Rumpus!

Our little munchkin turned one last Sunday!!!  So we celebrated!!  For his party, we had a Where the Wild Things Are theme and were so excited to spend the afternoon with Davis's family & friends.  The weather didn't want to cooperate so we quickly moved everything inside but it turned out to be a great afternoon.  :)  Here are some of the pictures from his special day...

Good morning birthday boy!!!

We went to church in the morning & got to hang out in Daddy's office for a little while.
Davis loves being in his daddy's office!

It was so fun to see how much he's grown since he was born!

 

Thank you Helen for these precious cupcakes!!

 

Trying to escape!

He had a tail b/c he was dressed like Max in the book.   :)

I loved how his smash cake turned out!

It's my party & I'll cry if I want to!
Didn't love all the attention... 

...but nothing a little chocolate can't fix!

Chocolate e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.

 

Davis, are you gonna be a sweet tooth like your daddy?!

I love this sweet little face!!

Well, it used to be pretty...!

Quick sink bath...
