LIAMS FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

I finally figured out how to upload pics to the new blogger profile!! Yay!!

Anywhos, Liam's first birthday was April 22nd, and we celebrated with a Very Hungry Caterpillar Breakfast bash at the Evansville Children's Museum (CMOE) on the 21st. We had lots of friends in attendance, and it was a blast!

We had lots of buckets of breakfast treats and, what else, but breakfast flavored cake balls! Thanks Michelle's Icing on the Cake!

We had a hard time keeping the kiddos wrangled into the party room for long enough to eat and smash a cake!

Liam loved the cake balls, and actually enjoyed smashing them more than the cake!

Jackie and Emmerson McCormick

Not so excited to be wearing the hat, but we managed to distract him long enough to get ONE pic with it on!

Once he figured out how good the icing was, he had a big time! Silly mommy forgot a change of clothes, so needless to say, we went through a LOT of wipeys!

Here is our desperate attempt to get MOST of the kiddos in a picture. All in all we had 19 kids under the age of 5 to join us!

We had a blast shooting balls across the room...

climbing in the rain room....

Splashing around like crazy in the water deck...

But I think the funniest was the room with the stage... These kids are SHOWOFFS!! They danced and twirled and jumped all over the place!

My friend Julie (and her Henry) were in town and got to join us, too! Henry is exactly a month older than Liam. I'm sure they'll be great friends!!

We barely had time to open a few gifts when we got home before I had TWO crashed babies!

I'm positive Liam had an absolute blast! Thanks to everyone who made it out -- we sure have some awesome friends!
