Happy Birthday Cash!!!

Yesterday, our littlest Sundance Kid celebrated his first birthday!! It's been a pretty crazy summer for us and for several reasons this momma opted to forgo her usual one-year-birthday-party-extravaganza-blow-out that satisfies her need to entertain lots of people with food and creative festivities while distracting herself from the emotional meltdown she never fails to experience when her child turns one year old!

Anyway...no big party this year, just small family get-togethers. (But don't fret, I promise to make it up on his second birthday...the mental planning has already begun.) AND, YES, I know it doesn't really matter, but who doesn't love a party...big or small?!?!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of the birthday boy from this past year...

At three months...such a cuddly little chunk...

At six months...look at those cheeks and big blue eyes...sporting a custom made beanie handmade by Memaw Bobbie...

At nine months...oh, what can I say...that smile...those baby blues...

those little teethers...and that red tint to your hair...

CASH,

I hope that you know how much you are loved.

You have blessed our family with more than words can say!

Your brothers are crazy about you and Daddy and I thank God for you.

We have enjoyed watching you grow in size, spirit, and personality this past year

and we can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for your future.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASH ALLEN EDWARD!!
