Van turns one tomorrow (9/23/2014) so this past weekend we celebrated the only way we know how….with a LARGE and super fun birthday party. We had about 40 adults and 19 kiddos running rampid through our house. Everyone laughed, played and celebrated our little man. It was wonderful to see so many of our friends with their little ones. Both sets of grandparents were there along with Aunt Shannon, Uncle Joe and Aunt Lindsay. We head to Tucson this weekend to celebrate with the rest of the family.

Van is very excited to have some toys that are all his own. He got blocks, a little rocking horse, books, clothing and lots of trucks and play cars. Gwen is also pretty thrilled about the new toys.

The skateboard ramp got some use as well as Van’s Tattoo Shop where we set up a temporary tattoo parlor in the back yard. Fun was had by all!!
