What a ONE-derful Day!!!

Our sweet amazing little boy Ruark turned one year old!!!! He's a New Years Eve baby so we partied in style. He loved trucks right now, he pushes them around all day and makes truck sounds. Too cute. So I've been working on this construction party theme, and it turned out soooo cute. Best of all, the decorations were actual tonka trucks, so now he has even more toys! Not that he needs anymore.

Chase was at the grocery store and a woman stopped and was talking to Ruark asking how old he is and he held up a "one" finger. She was amazed, saying we must have practiced for a long time with him. We just thought it was coincidence....not so sure now. He keeps holding up one finger!! Smart little tyke!

His candle, was an orange safety cone! They made him his own personal cake to match for .01 !! Can't beat that, plus it took a lot of stress off not having to make a cake which was my plan until two days before!

A little wired from all the sugar and the excitement!

We was so excited for his own cake, he smashed his face right into it!

He kept trying to feed everyone cake off his fingers...For goodness sakes, this boy was SPOILED! I've never seen a kid get so many presents!!! He was is so excited he's slowly making his way through the big pile of gifts. This is his..."are all these for me?" face.

He loved all the attention! After dinner, cake, presents and toys...we headed outside for a few fireworks.

All bundled up with Uncle Mark so he could be out with all the kids and adults to watch the fireworks.

We are so thankful for all our loved ones who were able to make it to Ruark's first birthday, and so thankful for all the love and attention they shower him with. I feel so blessed to know that he is so loved by so many people. Thank you so much for coming to our family Ruark, you the light of our lives and we can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with you. You fill every day with so much joy and laughter.
