Yesterday, Saturday May 5th, 2012 my sweet little baby boy turned one! Where has the time gone? This year has been absolutely amazing! I have enjoyed every minute!
We celebrated Robbie's first birthday with all of our family and friends at our home in San Clemente, Ca. The theme for the birthday party was Cowboy/Western. Everyone dresses up, we served Mexican food, Margaritas and played tons of games! Most of all, I enjoyed the look of sheer joy and excitement on my little one year old's face throughout the day!

Let The Games Begin!!
I wanted to have a party that would be fun for everyone. We had a ball pit set up for the kiddos, along with "Pin The Tale On The Donkey" and a "Bean Bag Toss" game. We gave out prizes for the adults and kids.
 |
| My parents bought a small ball pit for Robbie at Easter. The ball pit was a huge success and the kids loved playing in it. |

Time For Cupcakes!
I decided to make cupcakes for the birthday party. I thought something small and cute was appropriate for a one year old birthday! I tried a new recipe for Devil's Food Chocolate cupcakes with Carmel Sea Salt icing!! Yum!!!!
I have to share this, over the past week or so, I showed Robbie a candle and tried to teach him to blow it out. Well, you wouldn't believe it... we all started singing Happy Birthday. Robbie started smiling, looked at Rich, looked at me and gave us a little smirk as if we were all in on his secret. When we had all finished singing, he leaned over and blew out his candle with a proud grin! I was so proud!!!
Cake-Face Baby!

Everyone enjoyed yummy cupcakes and ice cream especially Miss Angelica!

At the end of the day the smile on this face was all I could ever have hoped to see on my little birthday boy!
Go to sleep my little bug . . . have sweet dreams of your very fun, special first birthday. We love you so much!
Mommy and Daddy
