Parker's 1!

Parker's amazing cakes. The astronaut cake was so huge we had to invite friends over at night and then take over half still to church the next day for the young men and young women. I went a little overboard! A lady at school has a business. The cake below was made by my mom especially for Parker. She made star and rocket sugar cookies for the kids to decorate and TANG star ice cubes. She was busy in the kitchen the day before the party. She's so great.
He looks so serious in this picture. He was just so overwhelmed with everyone singing Happy Birthday and playing their kazoos. Everyone had plastic kazoos for the birthday song since Parker likes them so much.

Parker only ate maybe 4 bites of the cake. The first thing he did was slide all the frosting around the half closest to him. He thought that was really fun. He didn't realize it was edible until I broke the cake up a bit with a fork. He loved mashing it up in his hands.

Grant decided to get into the theme of the party by putting on my flight suit and helmet for a bit. Parker wasn't so sure about the helmet. It was a fun party. I made a slide show presentation of Parker's first year and we projected it on our wall, had lots of space food-- meteor meatballs, moon pie (cheese pizza), Tang, etc., decorated cookies and opened presents. He got great toys and books that he loves to play with.

I can't believe a year has passed already. We are so happy that we have him. He brings so much joy into our lives. He is such a good boy. I feel so blessed.
