A Boy and His Truck

Harrison and one of his new favorite toys... his Tonka Truck.

Happy Birthday to Harrison

We celebrated Harrison's first birthday on his actual birthday, Saturday, June 25th. I have seriously been planning his party for months. We decided to go with a Little Red Wagon theme.

Welcome to our party

 The desert table

Harrison's smash cake complete with red wagon topper

Homemade chocolate cupcakes in Harrison's personalized red wagon

Homemade individual strawberry shortcake - I have been saving baby food jars for months for these



Harrison's amazing birthday banner made out of cardboard - you would have never known

It wouldn't be a birthday party without some balloons

and an antique highchair complete with banner and birthday boy hat.

We had sangria for the adults. Yes... those are wagons in the punch bowl.

Our red wagon turned cooler

And lunch is served... BBQ style

Don't forget your silverware

The mantel

Harrison's monthly pics banner

Harrison's fingerprint tree painted by a dear friend. This was used as our guestbook, and now is displayed in his nursery.

And of course, the most important part of all... HARRISON himself! Can you tell he was a little excited?!?!

Harrison is LOVED by sooo many people. What a lucky little boy.

Mommy & Daddy

The Kershner Family

The Underbergs

And of course his girlfriend, Emily

Gifts and Cake anyone?!?!?!!

All in all, Harrison's party was perfect. We were so happy to celebrate our little man's big day with our closest friends and family. Harrison enjoyed himself so much that he fell asleep in grandma's arms at the very end of the party. Now time to start working on next year's party.. ha!

Watermelon Days

Considering that I ate watermelon by the bowls full while I was pregnant, I am not surprised that Harrison loves it.

Hmmm... what part taste better?

The green part... 

Or... the red?

We shared with Bradie

Made a sticky mess

And loved every minute of it!

 Well.... almost every minute.



Busted Lip

Considering that Harrison is "ALL" boy, I think we did pretty good to make it this long before we got our first busted lip. This was a result of slipping while crawling. It actually bled pretty bad, but our little man was a trooper. He was quickly calmed down by looking at pictures of himself. Yes... he LOVES to look at pictures of himself - I guess he gets that from Mommy. You can't tell from the pictures, but he actually had a nice little blister the next day. Poor baby!

There must be a law against looking this cute, even with a hurt lip.

This face wasn't actually because of the hurt lip, but I found it so fitting.
