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.

1st Birthday Invitations

I know I am finally getting to Micah's birthday. 

I went back and forth trying to decide on a theme and then it hit me - It had to be an Oktoberfest. 

So here are the invites, party pictures will be tomorrow.  

Jacksonville Zoo

We took Micah on his first trip to the Zoo a few weeks back. Just thought you would enjoy some pictures!

Atlanta

We went on a 'little' road trip a few weeks ago and our first stop was Atlanta to see some of Ubers family 

 Micah met his cousin G-Rex for the first time - he's 3 months younger 

 Apparently I seriously need to work on my picture taking skills because out of a hundred or so pictures I think I took one that wasn't blurry.... 

 We had so much fun visiting. Hopefully the boys will get to see a lot of each other. 

Next up is Tennessee. 

I know I promised b-day pics but we are currently missing the memory card that has them on it .... soooo.... hopefully we will find it soon.... send good thoughts our way on that!

We've been busy...

...to busy to blog (apparently). I have a bunch of pictures to show you of all of the fun things we've been up to and I will try to get them up over the next week... but here a few random ones 

 This boy loves his Puky 

 This is how he walks outside to keep his legs off the concrete... or grass... it kills me. He reminds me of a baby elephant

 Micah was taking a bath when a storm rolled in. Poor Brinkley just wanted in his tub. 

Micah turned one on Sunday- how has a whole year gone by? His Birthday party is this next Sunday so I will be back next week with those pictures for sure- it should be fun!

Micah Update

Just a few pictures from the last few weeks... 

Micah is really loving kayaking he wants to help paddle the boat

We went to check out the beach the day after the storm went by ... we found quite a few big sharks teeth but nothing amazing. 

.....I think this is pretty self explanatory 

Someone likes ribs

And a video for everyone wanting to see him in action- this is not in anyway a super exciting video just a few clips of him doing his everyday stuff.
