Landin's 1st Birthday!

Later last Saturday, we went to Landin's 1st Birthday party!  His actual birthday is tomorrow, Wednesday, July 17th.

Kyle & Jen had a water fun filled theme!  Complete with a slip 'n slide...which I failed to get pictures of people sliding on!  But it was very cool.  They also had these awesome squirter things for the kids that Nathan loved.  Here he is sneaking up on Kyle's dad, Jeff.

He's in trouble now!

Picnicking on the grass!  Kyle & Jen got their turf all installed!  They did a great job.  Jen said they still have some lines to take out (from the football field) but they got a lot done.  So nice to have a big green yard :)  It was a great place for a party.

Nathan seriously loved this thing.

Each kid got a sand bucket too (and bubbles) !  Perfect for refilling his squirter :)

Got him! And getting away.

Nathan's try on the slip 'n slide was short.
 photo IMG_0992_zps8df56836.jpg
Later he told me he fell and one of the boys told him "be careful!"  This is all I saw.  I didn't realize he was over there.  They did a really great job building it.  Lots of people slid all the way to the turf at the end!

Landin started walking a few weeks ago!

The boys eating on the turf.  It appears Josh thinks Nathan has something for him to eat!

Nathan had moved to be by Jamin when Jamin moved near the trampoline.  On his way back when Jamin moved on to the sand box...being so careful!

He loved this watermelon.  He calls it "Jen's watermelon".  Even the one we bought the other day he called "Jen's"!

Josh liked the watermelon too!

Matt and I just can't believe how good Malachi is!  He was amazing with Josh.

Even when Josh tried to eat him! ha ha.

I'm not kidding.  Josh really was crazy about this dog.

I think Malachi is the best behaved dog I have ever seen.  I loved watching Josh enjoy him :)

Nathan found the pool!

He liked smearing the icing around with his hands for a bit.  But then he was done. So he stood up :)

Great party.

Happy 1st Birthday, Landin Elijah!!!

Such fun. I loved the picture of Josh in Matt's arms with his little finger on his chin like he was thinking. You have such great friends.

I also loved the pictures with the dog. Is it a golden retriever? Grandpa said they are good with kids and it is obvious Josh was quite taken with him.

You're right,Grandma J. They are great friends! The dog is actually yellow lab. He's the sweetest.
