November 2013....in February 2014 ha!

I'm pretty sad about how long its been since I last blogged. I've been copy/pasting my blogs into emails that I send to Rhyder so one day, he can follow the progress of his childhood. 
So much has happened since October that I'm not really sure where to start....guess I'l start in November :)

Rhyder turned the Big 1 on November 13th. We had a birthday party at our house for him involving close friends and family. I know he'll never remember the party, but I wanted it to be elaborate enough to make good photos so he'd have something to look back on as his fun first birthday party. I couldn't decide what theme to go with and finally I decided to go simple with primary colors and balloons. He'll have plenty of time to pick expensive themes as life goes on :)
I couldn't find any premade invites that I liked so I just made one :)
I practiced a lot for the cake but ended up with a balloon masterpiece haha
rainbow fruit tray, cute colorful table, and very colorful cupcakes
such a cute lil 1 year old!
Big 1!
First taste of cake ever....hmmmm... 
Yummy if I do say so myself! 
Yay for cake!
Our little family
Blessed by so many friends and family
4 Generations
Our "Little Man" is 1!

Then there was the rest of November which brought a lot of memories and a lot of firsts:

First time in Mommy's big bathtub
Lots of Aggie football fun! The year of Johnny Manziel
First roasted marshmellow! 
Daddy Don's birthday party and Thanksgiving celebration
Derrick dug out the pieces of their childhood gas powered 4 wheeler. Its now in our garage awaiting some TLC & repair :) (and allowing Rhyder to grow like 5 more years ha!)
