He's our big boy now!

Klive turned 1 on August 5th. Talk about a year flying by! He's my last baby, so this birthday was a painful reminder that he's not going to stay a baby forever. Boo-hoo.

We had a little party for him while we were in Utah for Rylee's wedding. We went with a Yo Gabba Gabba theme because, frankly, we like to freak out Aunt Misty by filling a room with DJ Lance decorations and songs about not biting your friends.

Here are the cupcakes. I was too lazy to put complete faces on, so we just went with the eyes.

The girls and I got creative after playing around on the Nick Junior website and made some fun prizes. These buckets were for the pinata goodies.

That's the sweet boom-box pinata in the background, and can you believe the girls made these Gabba characters out of felt and craft glue? This was their present to baby (now big boy) brother.

Nothing like taking home a cupcake in one of these peeping-tom DJ Lance cupcake boxes. You're welcome again, Aunt Misty.

Two cute girls ready to bust open the candy.

I even got a lightning fast smile from Caulder.

Klive has really warmed up the the Utah family. He loves it when Grandma Sara snuggles him.

Favorite present: mini rainbow marshmallows. Mom always knows best.

Everyone must have read the post about our basement full of girl toys, so Klive ended up with about 15 cars, trucks and helicopters. It's about time he got some manly gear.

Tukk ate about 15 pixie sticks. Seriously, you're so welcome, Aunt Misty.

The cupcakes were a hit. A black-toothed-inducing hit.

I'm pretty sure Winn was able to shove another cupcake in after this one.

Klive enjoyed the feast sans clothing. That's always the best way to party.

And he kept a close guard on his box of watermelon.

So here's to year one Mr. Man. You have filled our lives with supreme awesomeness. We love you like a son-of-a-gun.

You are so good at throwing a party! Maybe you could help motivate me to plan Pippi's tenth in October?

Do you think you could just skip the birthdays from now on? That way he'll just stay the cute baby that I remember forever, right? Great party--loved the cupcakes!

I'll have you know that I have been avoiding your blog specifically because I knew you'd have pix of the DJ Lance party posted on it. Peeping Tom DJ Lance haunts my dreams. You bastard.
