Matt's first birthday -- the parade

We had his party on the same day as our local parade day so after the food and the cake, we went out to the front yard to relax and watch our "Laurel festival parade".

New Toy 4 wheeler

First Matt thought he would watch the parade from his new 4 wheeler push toy.

I ate 4 Pieces!

But then Grandma brought out the watermelon. so he sat in his chair to eat h is "share" and his momma's share and his daddy's share etc...

Did you know they throw CANDY?

from the floats they throw candy and since he was super sticky from the watermelon whats the harm in a sucker?  OY VEY! sticky boy!

I missed my sister

what does a super sticky boy do when momma says you need a bath?

 he says hes gonna go a visitin'

I need a drink after that sucker!

up on sissy's lap for a quick drink

Drum lesson....

 then a drummer came over to see Matt, 

I cant wait for my own drum set!

 Matt can con anyone out of anything cant he?

This has been a big day!

then a quick snooze
