Payton Martineau turned one this weekend; we got together to celebrate on Saturday, August 2nd. Mom & Dad came down from Idaho for the big event. Other attendees were: Ted & Tami, Julie & Jason, Ryan & Lindsay, Eric, and a number of little cousins. (Rylee, Rory, Baylee, Bridger, Carson, Mitch, Logan, Elle, and Ben!)
Rylee & Ted had a contest to see who could make the toughest "football face". I think Ted one this one. Rylee looks constipated!
Here's a cute one of Jason & Logan. He still thinks I'm pretty cool. I like that.
We had a delicious BBQ, complete with a yummy pasta salad from Lindsay, a potato casserole by Ted and the famous fruit dip by Julie. Mom topped it off with a new dessert treat, an ice cream cake with cruchy goodness on the top and bottom layers. Needless to say, I ate plenty!
The kids played kickball, volleyball and the little ones played in the dirt. Carson was hesitant to share this little toy. But really wanted to show Payton how to dig in the dirt.
Here's another one of Logan posing for a picture:
The kids played in the backyard until it got dark. Just before dusk, it was present opening time. Then came the time-honored tradition of letting the birthday girl play in the cake. Payton was a little timid and didn't seem to enjoy her pink & brown adorable cupcake. But she made a mess anyway!
One of the highlights of the evening was watching Carson learning to jump rope. Here's a video of his attempts ...
The adults sat around visiting. (Well, except for when Tami got in trouble for trying to sneak inside to clean up!) I supplied some great conversation starters with one of my favorite games ... "Would You Rather ..." It's a great laugh!
We had a great time at Craig & Lani's. And Payton was the perfect birthday princess!
