The Big "One" - Part 2 and 3 of 3

Happy Father's Day!

Okay, so maybe Part 2 got lost somewhere between 1 and 3, so I've included a bunch of pictures here to make up for it. It's been a busy week. Simon, of course, turned one and graduated to the forward facing car seats. We installed the Graco Nautilus in the Mini Monday night, and Tuesday afternoon on the way home from daycare, someone changed lanes next to us and dented up the side of the car. So we put the new seat to use right away. The rest of the week was full of my favorite thing... dealing with insurance companies. I think Simon charmed the cops enough that they said the other driver was at fault. So I got that goin' for me, which is good.

Anway, here's some neato pictures from the last two weeks.

Walking to the Farmer's Market in his new swagger wagon.

The Marion Farmer's Market - Iowa grown for you! So you better like it.

Private Simon ready for duty.

Not sure what to think about a house full of people.

Singing and clapping to Happy Birthday.

The tension builds...

SIMON SMASH!!! (cake)

All he pretty much did was poke the cake with a spoon.

All done!

Simon's smashed smash cake.

He is very intrigued by balloons.

Kara helping Simon read the card she made him.

That stupid Elmo camera... whatever makes him happy. (j/k, we love it Julie!!) : )

Kian and Simon playing together.

Uncle Rich's latest woodworking creation.

Piano duet featuring green ball.

Shout out to Christina whose camera puts most others to shame (Mom, you don't have to print this one).

It's like a race with the devil to get the blog done before Simon needs attention. I just made it with minutes to spare. Time to change the stinky baby and see if he'll go down for a nap. Until next time!
