Conner's First Birthday!

We had such a fun time celebrating Conner's first birthday! We were in Utah for Kimberly's wedding, so we were able to celebrate with a lot more family than we otherwise would have. We chose a water themed party since Conner loves EVERYTHING to do with water!



This is the sign we had on the front door.

An overview of the food table.



I labeled everything with a water themed name. I have fun with theme parties :) Notice that some of the foods are served in sand buckets and the pasta salad even has a shovel instead of a serving spoon!
Submarine Sandwiches

Sea Shell Pasta Salad

Salt Water Taffy

Ocean Water (it was Ammon's creativity that decided to put the octopus in the drink! I loved the way it turned out!)

Fan-SEA Cupcakes

Octopus Dip and Chips

Fishing Bait

Catch of the Day (gummy sharks and sweedish fish)

This is the smash cake I made for Conner. I thought it turned out pretty cute!

Conner's not too sure what's going on...

 This video is fun to watch because it shows Conner from the beginning when he wasn't sure until he was digging in! You can also hear the excitement of all the kids! But we also got pictures :) Conner mostly just played with the cake. He ate a little bit (we got some good pictures of him eating), but not much.









Most of the kids who were there (family and friends)

The kids sang to Conner one more time before he took a quick bath!


Conner was pretty spoiled, he received a lot of awesome presents! You'll notice in the background of these pictures that we made a time-line of pictures of Conner, starting with newborn and one each month after.

Later that night our family went to the Provo Mall (just for fun, not actually for Conner's birthday). The kids got to ride on the carousal!



Then we went out to eat at Red Robin (YUMMMM!)!
