Just thought it would be fun to compare the first birthday cake experiences here. What an interesting glimpse into these two unique personalities! (Can you guess who makes the majority of the messes around here?)

Corrie Turns 1!

We can't believe it, but Corrie is already one! Has time flown by or what? We had such a wonderful birthday party at Lynn and Jay's house. Corrie got to celebrate with her cousin Hannah, whose birthday is just a few days apart from Corrie's.

There were beautiful cakes (a ladybug for Hannah and a Butterfly for Corrie) which were made by Shirley Kimmel, Lynn's mother in law. Mac got to play in the dirt, and the other kids got to play on the new swing set in the backyard. All in all, a great day :)

Mac takes playing in the dirt very seriously

As does Landon!

And the girls took eating their cake very seriously!

Dan! You made it! Next time make sure to bring your better half too :).

Both girls got such wonderful gifts!

Stay classy, Pasadena

Mac got to end his day with a ride on the lawnmower...can't beat that!

What would YOU do with your first pair of rain boots?

For anyone who knows Mac, this comes as no surprise.

yeah...sorry the video is sideways! Still learning how to use the video recorder on the new phone.

At the pumpkin patch!

Corrie had a great time at her first pumpkin patch...and so did Mac! Click on this link to see the whole album:

Through the years

Yesterday, the kids and I went with Amy and Ryan to the Virginia Farm Market, which is a great attraction year-round for kids and adults alike!

I thought it would be fun to post pictures of Mac through the years showing his height at the various pumpkin patches he has visited:
