The Big Birthday Bash...Finally!

We finally got to celebrate our birthday last weekend!
Party hats make us have silly faces!

Some of the attendees at the big bash: cousins Wesley Ryan, Jacey, Morgan and Lexi Majerus. Cousin Lily Ryan wasn't able to make it, but we can't wait to see her soon and have some playtime with her.

Time for presents!

I think Jay liked the surfing outfit!

There was no shortage of help from me and my cousins when it came to opening Jay's presents!

Jacey and I showed Jay how this new toy worked.

He likes it!

Jay wanted to keep this present just the way it was.

I guess so he could climb on it!

Such a happy birthday boy!

He was pretty excited about this present too.

Morgan was so nice. She read me a new Halloween book that I got at the party.

Jacey and I modeled some new wigs we got for dress-up.

Here's our nice Halloween birthday cake!

and Jay had his one little one to dig into, but it took a lot of encouragement. He didn't seem quite sure what he was suppose to do with the cake.

Yummy!

Jay says, "It's FUN to be ONE!"

Birthday Boy 10.19.08

Jay's 1!

Jay is very excited about being a 1 year old! Here are a couple pictures of him from yesterday- the big day!


Jay got to open a couple presents, even though the party isn't until this weekend. Since this was his first birthday, I had to show him how to open presents.

He really liked his new toys. Thanks, Erica!

Daddy and I have been busy planning the party. . .

We told Jay there was going to be cake . . .

He can't wait!

He told me he wants to get ready for the party now!

So I said I'd help him. I can't wait too!

mommy forgot to brush my hair before this picture was taken. oops!

Jay-Walking

Mommy hasn't been so good about keeping up with mine and Jay's happenings. She forgot about this little video she took of Jay almost a MONTH ago! I better start helping her. I've started taking pictures and I already narrate the blog so she only needs to teach my how to use the computer now!

When Jay first started walking, he couldn't keep himself from giggling hysterically. He also doesn't really know how to put the brakes on yet. . . just crashes into the floor! I better give my little brother some credit though, he's learned quickly and is doing a pretty good job of keeping up with me!

Family

September sure way a busy month! Jay and I were lucky to have some nice family get-togethers and visits!

Grandpa Bremer celebrated his 80th birthday on September 19! So we had to have a birthday picnic to help him celebrate!

Here is Great-Grandma and Grandpa Bremer with all their great-grandkids (12 total) plus a couple grandkids. Baby Chloe, on Grandma's lap, is their newest GRANDCHILD! Baby Chloe came special to celebrate Grandpa's birthday all the way from Georgia with her mommy and daddy! Baby Lexi (in the carseat) is the newest arrival to the Bremer family.

and what is a birthday celebration without cake??? My cousins and I enjoyed sharing cake. . . and making a disaster out of it!

Here is Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Bremer with Aunt Missy, Uncle Jason and Mommy.

Jay and I also had a nice little visit at Grandma Liz's with Uncle Ken who made a little trip home. I was very good at showing off how goofy I can be!
