Tylan's 1st Birthday

I shared my birthday weekend with our 1 year old neighbor, Tylan. Our neighbors, Tom & Chessie, were sweet enough to invite us over to share the big day with the little guy.

He had the coolest cake & it was SO yummy. Anybody who knows me, knows I LOVE cake. This caked rocked!

Tylan had his own cake. I think Tom called it a "smash" cake. At first he really didn't know what to do with it.

But it didn't take him long to realize that the cake was GOOD and he dug in! At one point, he was literally shoving hand fulls of cake down his mouth. I think he enjoyed it!

He was so messy that they had to give him a bath. They stuck him in the sink and I've never seen the kid happier. Apparently he really likes taking baths in their kitchen sink. Don't you love kids in sink photos? So cute!

The whole neighborhood was there. This is the Allen Family. They live across the street. We love the Allens! Carl has got to be one of the funniest people alive, Aimee is SO sweet and so are their 5 year old twins- Stewart and Annie.

Todd & I love our neighbors! I just wish our house had another 1,000 sq feet. I need some more closest space and apparently a fake tan cause I look kinda pasty in this picture. But I still liked it!

Tom & Chessie have a hammock in their backyard and it was a huge hit with the kids (and with me). I've already convinced Todd that we HAVE to get a hammock this summer. I had one growing up and I forgot how much fun and relaxing hammocks are. Its definitely on the "to-do" list now.

Two weekends ago, Tom & Chessie came over to our house on a Saturday afternoon. It was really nice out & we literally hung outside for 4 hours! We had the best time. We hit up one neighbors garage & Chessie scored on old toys they were giving away. I took pictures. More neighbors came over. The boys drank beer. We had the best time and we really enjoy spending time with this family. Thanks guys for letting us celebrate Tylan's 1st birthday with you this weekend!
