Antonio's Birthday Month Starts

Seeing how it's September and all, we figured it was time to start celebrating Antonio's birthday. I understand that he's really 11 1/2 months old, but that wasn't stopping us from having his first birthday party.

Because it was a long weekend, we headed up to Oak Harbor (El Cazador? Si.), and then we headed to the lake to spend some quality time with family and throw Antonio a party. But before we could have a party, we had to have a Saturday, a relaxing Saturday down at the lake.

Antonio was completely transfixed with grass. Don't worry, son, you'll be mowing the lawn soon enough.

He also went out to the dock with mom.

Then Grandma had to get into the act.

Copper drank some really nasty water.

Alvin is quite a fisherman.

Havana got a little dirty and then needed a bath before Grandma and Grandpa let her into bed with them.

Sunset. What a view.

Sunday, Antonio put on his UW sweats to celebrate the first victory of the year. He and Daddy were pretty excited with the start of the season.

Then Grandma took him out to a different dock.

Mamma and Bonk came for the party. Bonk had fun.

And then, yep, it was time for cake.


Antonio likes cake.


Antonio ated too much cake, so he had to go into the trailer to watch Finding Nemo and cuddle with Mamma.


Believe it or not, after all that cake, we were able to get him to sleep. Then on Sunday morning, we spent some quiet time with Grandma and Grandpa. Antonio watched some Wonder Pets with Grandma.

He fed Grandpa some cereal.

Havana was put in the other room because she was being a bad girl.

Then we strolled around the campground before we hit the road to head home.

It was a great weekend. Thanks to everybody who made Antonio's first first birthday party a lot of fun.
