here's a few of the weirdys that were there as well.

2nd cousins

snow

Yes, this would be Rykers first time in the snow. The first attempt was up at the cabin and he wasn't feeling good that time. :(

I think it was a success all though he hated getting dressed for it. But in the end he had a good time.

Dont worry. He stayed away from the yellow snow ;)

one.

Holy Poop... Where do I begin...

Happy 1st Birthday Ryker! This kid is definitely my world. And i am definitely okay with that. I seriously can not believe this baby of mine is now considered a "toddler". Yes, like everyone  else... he is the best thing that has happened to Ryan and I. We love him to death. Sorry i still treat him as if he is a baby and dont want to miss a single face he pulls... so PICTURE OVERLOAD>>>>>>>>>>>

This kid got beyond spoiled... We woke up about 8:30 to open presents.

Then got ready... Or should i say "tried" to get ready for the day... Destine all over the place. We made our way to IHOP. This is going to start a tradition in the Ryan Cottle household. To take the kids out to breakfast for there birthday. I like it. So I think we will keep it.

After we headed home to make his cake. While Ryker enjoyed a 3 hour nap... wooo.

My husband my be a hard working construction man. But deep down he has an art... (which is great! More power to him! thanks for makin the cake babe!)

Ryker decided to wake up and join us.

The final Product!

Looks Amazing!

Next we had family over for hotdogs and burgers. And of course cake and ice cream.

Ryker was being so funny! He would close his eyes on purpose when we would take pictures.

He's getting better at mastering the skill of opening presents.

Currently Ryker is OBSESSED! And i mean OBSESSED with cars (the movie). He watches it all the time.

The party. (wish i would of got pics of the family. dumb me)

And now the party begins... I don't think he could believe we were giving that whole thing to him. ha.

he went to town.

Ugh. I can not get enough of this sweet boy. He is an ANGEL!

A few things about him...

Does not crawl... STILL 12 months! NADA? Whatever...

He has a fasanation with pulling on yours/his eyelashes... so weird. But its funny.

Sleeps through the night... hal-ya-freakin-lu-ya!

Obsessed with balls. All kinds of sizes.

He now waves buh-bye.

He can give kisses (even though they are mouth open. they are the best!)

Loves to walk around the furniture. (he can do that for hours!)

Loves yogurt & cheese.

He is such a good baby. We are so lucky. Love him so much! Hope you had a great birthday Baby Ryk! Even though i'm sure you were thinking "what the heck is going on". ha.
