Thomas had his first birthday party yesterday (July 20th) and had a ball!! We had a pretty large group, 20+ adults and 8 kids, all out in the backyard on the hottest day of the year! We may not have been in the desert but we certainly felt like we were in Arizona! You all were with us in spirit and in heat :) While the adults sweated, ate and drank the kids had a fabulous time in the blow up pool and sprinkler. It was so fun to watch them play and explore! T was exhausted by the end of the day but still managed to eat cake for the 1st time!

I will post the pictures of the past four days soon! There are so many, we had a great time with Grandma Donna! It was so nice to have her here, sightseeing was fun and we were so happy that she could be with us to celebrate T's first birthday! It made it extra special!
