Blake's 1st Birthday 7-11

We celebrated Blake's 1st birthday on Saturday, the 9th when we got home from the ranch. Cody was going to scout camp on his actual birthday and I figured since everyone was already with us, we might as well bust out the cake and ice cream. Cody baked the cake before we came home so I just had to frost it and turn it into a fish.
 Blake wasn't quite sure what was going on, he was actually ready for a nap. He just sucked on his thumb while we sang and the kids blew out his candles.
 He really wanted nothing to do with the cake either. He touched the frosting and I tried to put some in his mouth. He ended up flicking frosting all behind him on the highchair and the door.
 While we were gathering to open presents Cody brought his new gun out to show my Grandpa Foster. It's bullets are so big! And they are ridiculously expensive. $4 a bullet! Um, you better shoot that elk/deer with the first shot buddy!
 Blake received wonderful gifts from everyone. We don't like to give our kids much, they already have a ton, and with him being the 4th child and 3rd boy, we pretty much have everything covered. He did get some new sippy cups, some clothes, truck, and a couple other toys.

 I'm throwing this in just so I don't have to make a separate post. Tucker has been wanting to fly the kite he got for his birthday, last September, and Cody finally unpicked the knots in the string and Tucker flew it Sunday afternoon.
 On Blake's actual birthday we celebrated, or rather the older kids celebrated by getting free Slurpee's from 7-11. That will definitely become a tradition every year now. I'm not sure why I've never done it before. : ) Too bad Blake was taking a nap when we decided it was Slurpee time.
