Happy 1st Birthday, Bridger!

Wow! Where does the time go? I can't believe one year has actually come and gone since Bridger was born. It feels like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital! Now here it is a whole year later and we just keep loving him more each day!


Bridger had a fun day! The morning started off with Jake and I singing "happy birthday" to him and surprising him with a bouquet of balloons which Bridger loves. He could play with balloons all day if we let him.

After lunch Bridger and I went over to Grandma and Grandpa Hart's to get ready for his birthday party. My mom and I made a dinosaur cake for his dinosaur party. It turned out pretty cute!

The party started off with dinner at Cowboy Grub with G & G Hart, Grandpa Nielsen, Brody, Corine, Makenzie, Eliza, Ivy, baby B.J., Barry, Brooke, me, Jake, and the birthday boy, Bridger. I didn't get any pictures of us eating but here's one of Bridger and the girls riding the horses.

After dinner we went back to G & G Hart's where Great Grandma Hart, Great Grandma and Grandpa Smith, Cookie, Steve, Zach and his girlfriend, Brittney, and Madie joined us for cake and ice cream, presents, and games!

Here we are in our dinosaur party hats except Bridger took his off because the elastic snapped his face and made him sad.

Lots of guests at the party

Mmm...cake!

Bridger was so funny eating his cake! He must have been tired because he was so serious about it. I wasn't sure how he'd react to the cake but he dug right in and made a mess! I had to help him figure out that he could eat it though.

Jakey helped Bridger hit the pinata and all the girls had their turn too but in the end we had to have Zach bust the pinata open so we weren't waiting all night for the candy!

Happy birthday, kiddo! We love you more than anything. You are so smart, sweet, happy, fun, energetic, funny, and cute! We have had the best year with you and we look forward to having you in our family forever.
