1st Birthday Party!!
Saturday, August 20th, we celebrated Eli's 1st birthday with most of the Barnett and Rhodes relatives that live close by. The party ended up being so nice! We rented a gazebo and everyone pitched in with setting up. I had put Auntie Amy in charge and she got everything rolling on the decor. Grandma Marty and Grandpa Bob helped out with the food. Everyone else just lended a hand where needed and everything went so well.
All in all, we had about 20 people there. We started out with cupcakes for the grownups and whipped cream and peaches for Eli. He was so cute. It took quite some time for him to dig in but as the pictures can attest, he did.
Then we had snack and visiting time. Once Eli was done making his mess, we moved on to opening presents. Boy, Eli sure got some fun ones! A couch, a bouncy puppy, a farm, an airplane, a piggy bank, a bouncy bike thing, clothes, books, a truck, the works!
After that, Eli and Cousin Logan played in the splash park. Logan wasn't too keen on getting wet from the fountains, but Eli had a blast! We'll definitely need to take him back before the cold weather hits.
Here are a lot of pictures! And these are just a fraction of what we took. I think there were around 200. Yay, digital cameras! Anyway, these will give you a taste of our party. :)

He Ain't Zero No More!
Our little Mr. Cute Stuff turned one today! We had a low key celebration with just the three of us. It was a special time!
Here's Eli checkin' out his early morning birthday present.
Yay, bouncy and squishy balls!
Water fun in the afternoon with Mommy.
My very own Doggie?!
Not quite sure what to do with this one, Dad.
We are so proud of our son. Such joy he has brought to this household. What fun is in store!

What's Coming Next
Howdy there, folks!
So I've been thinking for a while about coming up with a more systematic blogging method. I felt a spark of inspiration a few minutes ago and sat down to plunk my thoughts out. And here are the results:

My Daily Wisdom
The house don't clean itself.
Read them instruction labels.
Don't lock the sliding glass door if yer partner is still outside. (I do this at least once a week.)
Days are shorter'n they otter be, 'cept when they're too long.
