Happy 1st Birthday Jaxon!!!

We simply can NOT believe our little Jaxon is 1 already!!!

We had a great time celebrating his birthday!

Our day started with a trip to the zoo with our good friend Kristi!

"look mommy the frog is getting a piggy back!" - Stephen

Of course the best part of the reptile house was going behind the chains

Nemo and Dori!!

These lions were intrigued by some workers and were right up against the glass. We got such a good view of them!

Lunchtime?

Jaxy can't believe how tall they are!

Look at this awesome white alligator!

We ended our day at the zoo with a trip to Little Bigs for some sliders. Or Jaxy size hamburgers...

Stevie wanted one but of course just stared at it. His diet consists of mainly french fries and cheese-its these days.

Then we had the whole family over for dinner and I um, "cooked"!

Ha! Fooled them all!!

Then it was present time. Here's Jaxy helping uncle Brian.

Stephen helped Jaxon open his presents. Very important big brother stuff!

Jaxon was starting to get the hang of it!

Luckily he had a zillion presents to practice on!!

Thank you everyone!

The God fatha.

I always thought grandpa needed a pinky ring!

The elmo cake!

Stevie helped Jaxy blow out his candle too!

The first of 3 cupcakes!

Stevie makes an exception to his french fry diet and got in on the action but is surprisingly more reserved then his brother is about diving right in.

More please!

This is a happy guy!

Cupcake #3, he's beginning to black out at this point I think.

Hey, you're only 1 once right!

Happy Birthday cupcake!!
