Happy 1st Birthday, Roman!

This post is getting posted a little late... just wanted to share some pics from Roman's first birthday!

Uncle Rick arrived at our house on Friday afternoon. Roman enjoyed several "airplane rides" with Rick. (I think this pic was taken after he'd had a few rides... Roman's eyes are still moving a little bit!)

Here is Roman eating his birthday breakfast... bananas! Yum!

Roman & Raefe in Roman's new wagon - fun! (This thing is loaded -- has back rests, seat belts, and even cup holders!)

Roman enjoyed opening his presents - he really got into the paper!

Raefe entertained us throughout the night, as well. :)

Dinnertime...

The "grown-up" table -- Grandpa Mark, Grandpa Rick & Kim, Grandma Rosie, Great-grandma Joan (Stotts), and Grandma Susan (who is not in this picture because she is taking the picture!)
The "kid table" -- Ross, Brittany, Raefe, Colette, Roman, Jake, Rick, and Conrad.
Roman loved his cake - courtesy of Grandma Susan!


I don't think that he got as messy as either Jake or I thought he would... which is fine, easier to clean up in the end! :)
He inspected it all before diving in...
Here is Jake, trying to coax Roman to "just put your face in it"... Roman decided otherwise.
We eventually gave him his spoon so he could enjoy it.
...which he did! :)

After supper/cake/ice cream, Raefe and Roman got to play in the sandbox -- dirty, but fun. (Note: Raefe is in his diaper and happily buried up to his waist, thanks to his dad.)

Raefe decided to lay down for a little while... must be hard work to play in a sandbox!
Smiles all around from the boys...A pic with the grandparents before they all went home!
More playtime for the boys, after a bath with lots of bubbles!

It's hard to believe how fast this first year has gone -- so many changes in such a short amount of time! Roman is a funny little guy and we are so blessed to have him in our life!!
