Where does the time go? Tomorrow my little boy will be 1 year old! He was actually due June 24th but showed up 3 days later on the 27th. I was walking up and down the dirt driveway in front of the ranch house for hours, hoping something would start happening. If you would like to hear about Parker's birth story, here is the link.
This past Saturday we had Parker's birthday party here at the ranch. The theme was County Fair. When I was pregnant with Parker I thought of the theme Huckleberry Finn, but while looking around on Pinterest, County Fair caught my interest. So this party has been in the making a while, I tried to buy stuff here and there. Here are the photos from Saturday. A big thanks to Parker's God Mother, Jen. During the party she took all the photos for me with my camera.
Thank goodness it never rained! But we put up the tents just in case!
My Mom's Milk Jug and a chair I bought the other weekend for $6.50!
The fabric fans were really not that hard to do. I`ll do a post on how I made them later.
The kids took a goodie bag and some cracker jacks.
We used Mason Jars instead of plates, you just layered your food in it. I can not take credit for the writing on the chalkboard, again thanks Jen! If you have seen my handwriting you would know why I wouldn`t write it!

Singing Happy Birthday (Matt's Dad, Greg & Cousin, John)
He liked the attention! You may be wondering why he is wearing a Bama shirt at his first Birthday. Below you will see, Mama dressed him in clothes I didn`t care if they got ruined : ) War Eagle!
Smash cake time!
I just baked a sheet cake, then cut out a ribbon, then iced it blue.
He was trying to eat the candle and I took it away
No worries, the blue came off. We stripped him down and stuck him in his new pool his MaMaw gave him!
Madison & Hayley blowing bubbles
Parker & Kenzie
My mom has a little hat for the girls first birthdays and for the boys. Parker was not too happy about wearing it.
When all was said and done, I think his party turned out nice. The before and after is a little stressful, my husband said if I get this stressed out, we shouldn`t do a big party again. I just stared at him....... I`m pretty sure at one point I said "my party". Now what to plan for his second birthday???
