More birthday...

Okay...I am sure you have all gotten enough of our birthday celebration pictures. HOWEVER, sweet Bonnie gave us the honor of attending our to-do and taking pictures. Here are some of the high lights.

. Once again, here he is, gingerly digging (not digging) into his cake....



Here is sweet Jack, helping Oliver into the house:




Here is Oliver, Jack, Zoey and Beckett with their beloved Great-Grandma's: Beth and Bernice


And sweet, Beckett: Come on...too cute. So serious We love him so much:


Here is Oliver, giving me "kisses". He only knows how to open mouth kiss right now (ummm...yuck). I love the kisses and have to ignore the slobber. I can say, I am grateful that he has just learned to blow kisses. Mommy does much better without the slobber.

We love you, little man.

Happy Birthday Oliver Cash....

Oliver is 1 today. Here is our little man.
.
We cannot believe how time flies....
.
We had a little "to-do" on Sunday for Oliver's 1st.
.
I made Oliver this fabulous (sugar-free) cake for him to dive in on ALL BY HIMSELF. A tradition we have adopted from Adam and Jenny and clan.
Well....it was less than dramatic. He totally did not get it. (adam blames this on the lack of sugar).
Nevertheless...we had a great celebration of life.
Here is Grandma-Diane with sweet Oliver Cash:

Cousin Zoey Rose and Oliver:

Me and Beckett:

I love this shot of Jackson, Zoey and Oliver:

Here is Oliver and exhibiting the excitement with with he had for his first chance to dive into a cake! It was totally anti-climatic.
Here is the most he ever did with the cake:


Oliver giving me kisses....my most favorite thing on the planet:

Here is Oliver, Jack, Zoey and their two Great-Grandma's (on the Milne/Ballard side): Grandma Beth and Grandma Bernice. Thank you so much for coming!

Robyn, Ryan, Jack, Zoey and Beckett gave Oliver "Oh, The Places You'll Go" for his birthday. It was perfect. I love this book. Here is Jack, Zoey and Oliver in our non-filled pool:
Princess Zoey Rose:
We had a few friends join us later. Oliver got to play with a ton of fabulous children. Here is our friend Amy and Rheada's son, Miles, being his crazy-self:


Here is Ashlee and her daughter Princess Kate:

Addy and Sophie in the famous water-less pool. It was a total hit with or without water.

Princess Kate and Sawyer:

Here is Oliver, getting hosed off after all of the cake fun. He loves a good outside bath:
I love his face here. Hilarious.
All in all, we've had an amazing celebration this year. We celebrated Oliver's birthday on Sunday. Today (Oliver's actual day of birth) we visited the hospitals and doctors that made this day possible. In case you don't remember, we had a bit of a traumatic beginning last year. :) We were able to thank the doctors and nurses that made this all possible.

This year has absolutely flown by. What can we say. Nothing can express how much we love this little man or how much our lives have changed (and continue to change).

oliver cash: you continue to enchant us.
