Frederick Nathan turns ONE!

 
Just like his birth - some of the excitement started the night before.  He took his very first steps on June 5th at 7:54 pm. 

 
The morning of his birthday Luke took it upon himself to decorate.  He wanted him to have a "Little, Big Planet" birthday.   He designed all his own decorations for the wall and even made sure he had a festive and themed birthday bottle.  What a bro.
 
And then we spent the day at the Lake - which is, of course, where Freddy requested his birthday party to be. (We are very accommodating.)   Even though we might have been distracted by Super Mable (she's such an attention hog) we still made sure Freddy got the adoration he deserves.

He loved floating around in his life jacket.  Look at that little face!


After the lake and the drive home it was getting late.  All family members kindly delayed showers and dinner so we could skip straight to the singing and cake for the Fredster so he could go to bed.   We have a tradition of showing a one year video at the birthday but this time I hadn't had any time to make one. (but it's hopefully coming soon...sorry 4th child!)  But Freddy himself was entertainment enough.  He was loving that he had a big, captive audience watching him eat (and not eat) his cake.  I love how at the very end just as Olivia says "I think he likes giving stuff to people" - he looks at her and takes the berry out of his mouth and hands it to her.  :)

and... he's off to the bath tub
 

Since the cake was his dinner - I guess he decided he still needed dessert. (a tasty bar of soap)
 
yuck!
 
 
Happy 1st Birthday Freddybones!
  

PS - his presents were: colorful bath balls from Kate, bubbles from the Songers and the cutest HOMEMADE finger puppets from Malan!
 
 
 PPS -
 Freddy's one year old stats:
weight: 18.5 lbs (10%)

Yay Frolly Frog Freddy Bones!! We love you!!! He's the sweetest, cutest little buddy. So sweet of him to invite us all to the lake for a great time on HIS birthday. ;) And Freddy, way to make it to the double digits percentages! You little chubster.

Happy birthday Fritz! What poise! What generosity! No wonder he doesn't get fat: he gives all his food away. I especially like his picture with Aunt Kate. I wonder how to make that video play in slow motion so I can see all those dear faces.

Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
