D's First Birthday

We've had a pretty busy weekend with two baseball games and a Cub Scout camp out.  Friday was D's actual birthday.  His older siblings spent the day picking out their favorite toys from when they were babies and wrapping them in homemade wrapping paper adorned with homemade cards-all their own idea!  Then we were off to stand in the rain for a two hour baseball game!  I thought they cancelled games when it rained.
Sleeping in on his First Birthday
Saturday morning saw M and the boys head out to a local state park for a Cub Scout camp out.  They came back in the afternoon for another baseball game where I met them.  M went back to the camp site because he was in charge of dinner as the Wolf leader and when the game was over I headed up with the kids.  So D spent his first day as a one year old practicing walking in his new rubber boots at a baseball game and Cub Scouts!  Then I drove back home with the three younger ones and slept in my very own bed.
Stuffing his Face with Scrambled Eggs
M and the boys stopped by the grocery store to pick up a cake on their way home this morning.  Then we spent the day working on the turkey house, mowing, and working outside.  We were so happy to just be home on a sunny day.  After dinner we brought out the birthday cake!  This is what first birthdays are all about:

"Life of Riley" in honor of Grandad
First Bite: Not too sure what to think
Totally into cake!

 Can't get enough!

I love his teeth!

And the pink icing!
