Xavier eating a doughnut his dad brought home for him for his birthday. Lucky little guy!
This is how much he cared about presents, he is playing with the ball we got him why the other kids fight about opening his presents.
His cute little #1 cake I made for just him to eat and Zar trying to get him to eat it. He wasn't very interested in sticking his hands in the cake and just having at it. I finally got a spoon to try to at least get him to taste it and then maybe make a big mess but that sort of blew up in my face. He just wanted to eat his cake with a spoon. What one yr old doesn't just dig in. Owen wasn't really all about it just being his cake and he was more than happy to just stick his hands in it and eat. the two boys ate most of the cake themselves but ended up sharing some with their cousins. I think
Emme and Annika got a little as well. Not a lot of that little cake went to waste. The rest of the kids had homemade Ice Cream and cupcakes.

So how typical is this, women all in the kitchen talking while the guys are all watching some sporting event on TV. I do believe this was one of the basketball playoff games. Mike made Xavier wait because there was only 38 seconds left (which actually the game went to overtime)before he could open his presents. Good to see he has his priorities straight right? This was with my family. We did Xavs and Owens birthday with the Howard side this last Sunday because Kerry and Grandma Sharon were in England and unfortunately I met mike there after work so I have no pictures of that side. Good thing we can count on grandma for pictures but it does me no good for this blog! Anyways thanks everyone for all the gifts he sure made out well especially in sand toys which if it ever stops raining I know he will get a lot of use out of them all.

Its so crazy how everyone is getting so old i guess everyone just needs to have more little ones;-> his birthday was fun and i am glad you had the game on for Andrew!!
He's such a cutie . . . Happy Birthday!
We just celebrated a first birthday, and had almost NO interest in the birthday cake (again -- neither of my kids even try to mess their cake up! So, such weird uninterested-in-their-cake kids exist . . . I thought only mine were this way!) I also had a hard time with the one-year milestone (it went SO much faster than my first kid's first year!), and of course my husband didn't think twice about it
Happy Birthday little X-man I am sure he will be into cake at his next birthday and the presents as well!! And trust me that will come faster then you can imagine!
um yeah, I think Annie ate 1/4 of Xav's "special" cake... after her first little taste she was all in! cute little sucker. I hope he likes his outfits.
Last first birthday! I would have been sad too. He was adorable. He is getting to be a good little walker. I loved watching him eat his cake while the other little ones hovered like little vulturs waiting for a bite. He seemed to have a good birthday. He is such a good kid.
Mike, have they scheduled your surgery? I had mine yesterday. It went ok. You will be so sore, but ok. Let me know if you want to know anything about it...good luck!
*sigh* .. since I follow so closely behind you I can totally relate. Still undecided if this will be our last or if we'll give Jeramie a last shot at a girl. I love that picture with the cake in front of Xavier, you can see Zar's hands like she is managing the show like always!!
