PARTY TIME!!

What fun would a 1st birthday be without a party?

Family and friends gathered to celebrate Zane's birthday with us and a good time was had by all....especially the birthday boy himself.

Hamburgers, hotdogs, cold drinks, cake, ice cream, presents and pony rides...

It was a BIG day!

I was pretty busy running around keeping the party going. I really wish I had gotten shots of everyone there....sadly, I didn't..... but I did manage to get a few shots here and there. Enjoy!

Photos of Zane from birth to 1 year! Even some of his preemie clothes on display...my oh my he's grown!

Tim the Chef

Joyce came for the party!

So did Hesston and his Nana...

...and Hadlee and her mommy....

Chance and his mommy partied with us too!

Cousin Ian wouldn't miss Zane's party....

and neither would his twin brother Aaron!

The party had an Elmo theme and the cake was delicious!

Zane had his own cake...

...too bad he didn't care much for it....

Not even with a spoon...

Clothes and a cool ball cap from Nana and Grandaddy...

and a Taggie puppy dog...

Zane's little buddies really liked the pony rides...even though they have ponies at their house too....

Cowboy Hesston!

Cowgirl Hadlee!

Cowboy Chance!

Even Joyce became a cowgirl for a while!

Hadlee's Mommy and Daddy got quite the workout!

Lots and lots of presents!

G-Mama and PaPa got Zane a cowboy hat and a swimming pool!

Hesston and his mommy!

One of several tractors...all shapes and sizes!!

Zane and Joyce...party animals!

Even "Big Bertha" came and checked out the party....

At the end of the day when everyone had gone home Kelly and Ned wrote a note and tied it to one of the balloons and let it go.....

It really took off and we still have hopes of hearing from someone who finds it...

It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day!!
