End of the month fun

April has been a beautiful month. We have spent a good amount of time outside enjoying the beautiful spring. I sneeze all the time because of the pollen, but it is usually worth it. Andrew LOVES being outside, too.

Grandparent's visit

Mom and Dad got to come for Andrew's first birthday. They were only here for a few days but we had a great time.

My parents bought Andrew this little bike. He doesn't know how to ride it yet, but he's figured out it's bell for sure.



Andrew just being his cute little self.

Andrew is ONE!!

We had a party this last sunday for Andrew's first birthday. Everyone brought some meat to grill, and we hung out for a few hours. It was the perfect day, sunny and 70. My little boy had his first taste of sugar, got his first sunburn, and had his first birthday all in one day. He's not the tiny little boy I brought home from the hospital... that's for sure.


He's watching Rusty, Jody, and Julia play wiffle ball.


Heather Taylor was MUCH more interested in opening birthday presents than Andrew was. She was polite enough to ask, "Mrs. Chockala? Can I help Andrew open his presents?"


This was as interested as Andrew got, and I had to force him into my lap!!


Heather, Zoe, and Andrew. Look at Zoe's face!!! Hilarious.


This picture makes me look a GAZILLION feet tall. I like it.


Some mid-afternoon manditory snuggles.


This is our friend shannon, or shanta claus. Andrew's getting his requests in super early this year. That's right, friends, you missed out on a rockin' party. Shanta was there!!

Andrew, sucking on the chocolate easter egg rice crispy treat that he stole from Zoe!


He loved it when Grandpa put him on his head. I know... I don't get it either, but it was cute.


Bekah, Darcy, and Julia. My only question is, "What is Darcy talking about?"


The party people!

Thanks for coming everybody. You made Easter, and Andrew's party really special. Let's grill out again soon.
