Camping with the girls 09

PJ went on his first camp out with the girls in October. It is a tradition we started several years ago where I meet up with Clint's two sisters at Tyler State Park and we have a girl's weekend of camping. This year we all decided to bring our kids too. (Some pictures are out of order....)

Maybe 10 minutes into our first hike

PJ loved to ride on Rylie's bike

And she enjoyed his car to

Roasting sausage over the campfire

Ready for bed, gloves and all. His little fingers were so cold.

Breakfast the first morning in the shelter.

I'm ready for hiking momma

Going on our first hike

After watching the big girls washing their hands, PJ decided he wanted to give it a try

Pumpkin Patch and the State Fair of Texas

For my birthday this year I asked to go to the State Fair of Texas. I had not been in years and I thought it would be fun for us to go as a family. Of course, I could not have predicted that the only weekend we could go on would be when there was the TX vs. OU game and that I would just be getting over a nasty stomach bug, but the day turned out good. We had fun and PJ got to experience some new things.

1st trip on the train from Plano to Fair Park. We thought that PJ would sleep on the train since it was nap time but there was too much to see for this little one to sleep.

First things first...let's eat!

About an hour into our adventure and PJ was out!

There was an indoor sand box but PJ was too young to actually go in it but we walked around it and explored.

Enjoying a dog show

Seeing all the crafty stuff that mom likes

Hey mom...What's that?

I think I'll take a bite too.

My turn!

Last year PJ was not quite a month old when it was pumpkin season so we thought we'd try it with a one year old. It turned out pretty good. We enjoyed feeding the animals, a hay ride, lots of pumpkins to explore, a miniature hay maze and of course, mom snapping up tons of pictures.

There was this windmill that PJ loved. Here we are on the hayride and all PJ wanted to see was the windmill.

PJ's first birthday party

I can't believe that I didn't get pictures of all the hard work I put into decorating and making all of the "ball" treats. The theme of PJ's party was "Let's have a ball". There was a sign on the door that read "roll on in", a ball pit, lots of balls to play with and lots of "ball" treats for everyone to eat. (sausage balls, oreo balls, melon balls, cheese ball, popcorn balls, rice crispy treat balls, ect.) Thanks to all that helped me out, for all that came and for all the special messages and gifts for our little man. You all helped make his first birthday special.

1st bite of his cupcake...I'm pretty sure this was his first major bite of sugar

Want to share??

Here is some for dad

and for mom

He ate the whole cupcake...yummy

PJ surrounded by girls! There was one other little boy at his party but the girls do tend to flock towards PJ.

He did better than I expected with opening his gifts.

One of his favorites

12 months old

Oh my! This little precious boy has had several days of birthday celebrations. Thursday was PJ's actual birthday and he had some special moments celebrating at school. He got a birthday sign and gift (bubbles) from his teachers and shared special snack with his friends. Mom and Dad took him to Babies R Us to pick out a new car seat. While we were there he got a birthday crown, which he has been wearing on and off since Thursday. On Saturday, we gave him some new puzzles and a ride-on car. On Sunday, we had a big birthday bash with family and friends....that post to come soon!
