Joaquin’s 1st Birthday (Party)


Elayna’s best friend Joaquin celebrated his 1st birthday last weekend!



It was really fun being a part of the celebration and watching him enjoy being king for a day (he is usually just Prince Joaquin). Ha! Elayna was extra social and really in her element with all the guests there. We got a lot of comments about how cute and sweet she was, and how adorable the two of them are together.

I realized that in the last few weeks I have seen less and less of the toy stealing and frustration between each other, and I think that they have finally learned how to truly get along… pretty much all the time!! Don’t get me wrong, they got along pretty well before, but now they are inseparable and they really love each other all the time! They play peek-a-boo with each other, giggle, chase each other, kiss and snuggle each other. Adorable. Just adorable. Makes my job SO much easier when they are happy all day! =)

Speaking of adorable. Want to see the most successful 1 year old cake attack OF ALL TIME? Watch the video below!! J wasn’t messing around and he LOVED him mommy’s cooking!! Haha!

Here are some pictures of our fun day!

Birthday snuggles

Making their serious faces. 😉

Balloons galore were one of the main attractions… and Elayna was in love. (Anyone remember her old mylar balloon friend? It was like seeing 20 of her old friend. ;))


First time getting ice cream! She loved it. Shocker, right?

Master of his cake and kingdom
