My Baby's 1st Birthday!!!

Friday, September 23, 2010, was my son, Rylen's, 1st Birthday! This past year has crazily flown by. It seemed like a lifetime when I was pregnant and huge!  On friday, I was super busy trying to keep the house clean and finish some last minute shopping for the party that was on Saturday.  Friday night my sister, Baylee, came over to help me finish getting everything ready. I definitely couldn't have done it without her. We had to prepare all the food and get everything packed up and ready to take to the park, where we were having Rylen's party.  I didn't make it to bed until almost 4 am and woke about 7:30. I was already exhausted and still had a huge list of things to do before noon. I finished getting everything cooked and ready to go and then got ready. I left Rylen with my fiance, Allen, so I could pick up balloons, cake, and ice cream. Baylee, Allen, and Rylen met us at the park to set up all the decorations and put out the food. Thankfully, after running around crazy for two days straight, we got everything set up and ready in time for when the guests' arrived. Rylen had an amazing 1st birthday and recieved a lot of awesome presents. Everyone had a great time and the kids loved their party bags and favors!! We were all exhausted by the time we loaded everything up and made it back home. Rylen was tuckered out, full, and happy and was passed out way before we made it home. So, while he was sleeping, we got to open up and play with all his new toys!! We are so very blessed to have great family and friends to have shared Rylen's special day with!
