CALIFORNIA FUN AND BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

We drove down to California on Friday, Sep. 18th for Dylan's #1 birthday celebration. On Sat. we went to Alex's and Sophia's soccer games.

On Sunday, we celebrated Dylan's birthday. It's hard to believe he is ONE year old now.

It was a cupcake theme party.All the family and friends came to Chris and Kelly's house for food and fun and to wish Dylan a happy birthday. Kelly prepared a feast of delicious snacks. (cheese-chicken balls-mmmm) Mom and dad and the birthday boy.

The swimming pool kept the kids happy for hours and hours.

Kelly made a cake, that looked like a cupcake with a candle and flame. It was very good.
Dylan had his own personal cake. Kelly tried to get him to blow out the candle, but he was more impressed with the flame.
After we sang Happy Birthday to him, it was time to "dig in". At first, he wasn't sure.
He gave it the taste test.

And decided it was yummy!

When it came time to open presents, he was passed out. The presents had to wait.

After the 2 hour nap, it was time to open presents. He needed mom and dad's help at first.

But then he started to figure it out.

Then he really REALLY got into it.
It was a great party. Cousin Owen was left thinking, "Cool, I get to do this in 2 weeks!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. D, #1

Dylan Robert Burks was born on Sep. 12th. He was greeted with much happiness by everyone.

Above picture is daddy Chris and below is Dylan. Strong gene pool.

A few "rare" pics of Dylan sleeping. He is getting better, but not a great sleeper.

Dylan likes mommy's milk, the jowls say it all.

Cereal, didn't like it so much at first.

Dylan likes his tongue, and is always finding it.

Mr. D likes to wear big boy clothes like dad

He found his smile at a pretty young age, much to all of our delights.

He loves getting around, his mom was the same way.

Some holidays for Dylan.

Mr. D liked summer time, hanging out with grandpa.
