Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened!
~Dr. Seuss
Our little Boom Boom and Pow are ONE! Can you believe it?? They really do grow up wayyyyy too fast:( We had a blast on their first birthday...Andy took off work, and I took a half-day. We met up with Mmmie K and Daddy Mike at California Dreaming for lunch (dabomb.com), took them to get their first haircuts. We ended the day at Dippin' Dots!
The actual party was the following Saturday. We did our favorite...a Dr. Seuss theme! The planning was originally for a simple party, but Pinterest abducted my soul and made me feel like I was at a carnival when all was said and done. Lol. I basically designed everything in Photoshop and printed it myself...saved a TON of money. It was better than I ever could have imagined...we had family and friends come from all over! A great time was had by all!
Untillll...Baney had a meltdown during the cake smash. Refer to picture below. ;) Anderson could care less, he was so jacked up on cake and Kool Aid that he was doing face-plants into the presents.
If anyone still reads my blog, thank you SO much for coming...it means the world to us! Lots of pictures below!

Wow, you did a fantastic job! It looks like it was so much fun, and simply awesome!
Love seeing the photos of the boys too- my, how they've grown!
I don't even know where to begin. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this party theme!!! How in the world did you have the time to do all of that..times 2!? I totally want to do this for Pearce's next b-day! All of the pictures were so, so cute! Isn't it so hard to believe that a year has gone by? But the Dr. Seuss quote you used at the beginning of this post is a perfect thing to remember. There is just so much to look forward to! Happy Birthday boys!!!
Happy 1st birthday to your adorable boys!
You did a wonderful job, love the theme and decor and all the little details ;)
You are a wonderful nurse, I am sure! If you ever want to give it up you and Andy could plan parties and make a fortune.
Best Birthday Party EVER!
Jessica, the last comment was from me. Andrea
No clue where you found all the time to plan then throw such a wonderful First birthday party for your boys but I'm glad you had many photos taken. Hope that some day they look back and appreciate all the effort you put into it.
Oh my WORD! This party looks amazing! Great job! Happy Birthday boys!
Wow, that looks like a seriously awesome party! Happy belated bday boys!!
Also, this is making me feel like I should give Stella a hair cut - she is totally in mullet mode lately!
Yeah, so great to see the boys and happy belated birthday to them!!!!! What a year, they are so handsome and look like real characters. Thanks for posting, I check your blog often hoping to see something.
Thank you!
Thanks so much! It took aboutttt 3 months to plan, lol. Feel free to copy...it was so much fun!
Thanks everyone!
Holy toledo! What an amazing party for A&B! I love it!!!!!! My little munchkin is obsessed with Dr. S already at 6 months. He destroys anything in his path to get to his books. We will probably do a bday party for him like this but I don't think I could EVER pull off all this wonderful goodness! i may have to put you on retainer as a consultant! :) So happy for you guys. Can you believe it? After everything, your sweet precious angels are already ONE. I love it.
