Happy Father's Day

MrKLB enjoyed his first Father's Day this weekend.  We had a lazy morning and I made Pioneer Woman's Migas and they were really good!  MrKLB loves Mexican food so this was a great way to start the day.  I took these photos of Brady and framed them and gave them to MrKLB so that he could take them to work.  I think he really liked them:

Brady also gave his Daddy this book:

And he got some parts for his Jeep Wrangler that he wanted.  We cooked out later in the day and did a little shopping, but mostly we just relaxed with Brady.  All in all, I think it was a good Father's Day.

1st Birthday Party Invitations!

The invitations for Brady's first birthday party went out on Monday morning!  I can't believe it's less than a month until his birthday (which is July 2)!  We're having the party the weekend after the 4th of July because some of our friends were going to be out of town for the holiday.  So, we'll be celebrating Brady's birthday two weekends in a row!

Here is the invitation for Brady's party (the white text on blue background shows up better in print than on the screen):

We're doing red and baby blue as the colors with argyle and sock monkeys being used for the "theme".  The smash cake that we are having made is going to be adorable!  I can't wait to see it!

1 month and counting...

Brady turned 11 months old yesterday.  That means 1 month until the big 1st birthday!!

Party planning is coming along nicely.  The invitations have been designed and ordered.  They arrived this weekend and now I just need to get some stamps and send them out.  They are too cute!  I'll post a pic here once I get them sent.  I've also designed a "Happy Birthday" banner for the party that I'll need to print out and assemble.  The cake and cupcakes have been ordered, as has the cake topper and t-shirt for the birthday boy to wear!  It's all very exciting... I love to plan!

We hit another big milestone last night... Brady took his first steps while holding onto a toy!  Well, technically he took his first steps while holding onto a training potty - LOL!  My sister-in-law gave us the training potty they used for my niece and it's still sitting in our sunroom because we haven't moved it to the basement yet.  Brady likes to play with it and open and close the lid.  Last night he opened the lid and then pulled himself into a standing position.  The potty started sliding on the hardwood floors and he took one step and then two more to stay with it!  MrKLB and I were both standing right there so it was fun because we looked at each other and said "Did you just see that?"

We had a great trip to North Carolina this weekend to see MrKLB's parents.  Brady got to ride in the boat for the first time and play in the sand and get in the ocean.  Here are a few photos from the trip:
