Micah's 1st Birthday

We had planned for the birthday party to be outdoors but unfortunately the weather threatened to be nasty so we ended up moving it inside just to be safe. So there was a lot of last minute re planning of the decorations. Uber and a friend ended up being in charge of the garland and I have to say  I love that they decided to deck out the front of the house!

 lebkuchen were worn

 as well as lederhosen (outfit courtesy of Mum's amazing sewing skills) but don't worry only by the wee one. 

We tried to get a mini photo shoot in but there were a lot of distractions... wind... dogs...

 This child kills me. 

 Mustaches which had nothing to do with the fest they just seemed like they would be fun

 and they were!

 Micah enjoyed his gifts

Though not so much when I put him in his gift...
**Disclaimer** there were awesome balls in this box... he should have enjoyed this!

 Kubbs was played - have you all heard of this game? It's Swedish and it is a blast- dad made our set. 

 Micah wasn't sure what to do while everyone sang to him 

 He was also rather miffed about the large cake in front of him, like we were playing some sort of trick on him.

 He was more than happy to feed it to other people 

 But we found out he is more of a chocolate boy.

My Day

I had an awesome birthday! Uber took the day off and we 'slept in' - not really Micah wanted to be up! So we loaded up the truck

 and headed out for a bike ride to try out my new shoes and clips... I only fell over once... it kind of hurts but it was rather funny it's like slow motion as you tip over...especially since I wasn't moving.... My right clip was too tight so I couldn't get my foot out. Anyway there will be no scarring from this fall so whatever!

 I thought you might be interested in seeing the trail. A lot of it is canopied it's really very pretty it goes for 14 miles and is all paved (it used to be train tracks) you pass all sorts of farm animals- though I didn't think to take pictures of them. It was gorgeous today but in the summer it will be too hot to ride.  We went about 10 miles - long enough to be fun but not to wear you out.

 Micah enjoys it as long as his toys are reachable

 Uber would rather be off road biking but he is nice enough to take this easy trail so that Micah and I can tag along! He tried taking Micah off the paved road last time and Micah is not into it! It was rather funny Micah protested until he was back on the paved road and then he settled back down.

 Next we came home and cleaned up and headed to the beach. Not for a long time just long enough to relax and enjoy the view

 This is the roof top deck of the Casa Marina Hotel it has gorgeous views.

 Then we headed over to Mum and Dads where Uber made me a ridiculously awesome dinner. Beef Saltimboca, Roasted Potatoes, Salad... so yummy in fact I need to go make myself a plate of left overs! And there was cake! Chocolate with Espresso frosting Mum hooked it up!

It was such a fun day! Possibly my best birthday ever. Between Uber and Micah and quite a bit of my family being here. And my gifts were all together ridiculous. Is it rude to tell everyone all of the awesome stuff you received? I'm not sure so I'll hold off and maybe show you some of the awesomeness over the next few days as I get to use it!

Ubers Birthday Party

Here is the front of the Birthday card I made for Uber

Mum threw him a Mexican themed party- which was hysterical and this is why I love my husband...
he's more than willing (in fact I would probably say happy to) rock a sombrero all night long! And how about Micah's face in the next shot... lol
Poor child is going to be sooo scarred!

I have SO many projects I am working on... can't wait to show them to you... one of them is trying to get Mum posting again- I tell you what people she is making stuff and holding out on you- lol!!

Happy Birthday Uber!

I cant believe another year has passed!

We love you so much!

Happy Birthday Mum!
