Happy Birthday Layton!!!!

Layton turned ONE just about a month ago..I know, I'm slow at announcing things, but oh well..I am now! :) He seriously is THE best thing that ever happened to me. I look forward to seeing that little face at 6:30 every morning..or 4:30, or 2:30 or 1:00  lol (Last night he got up at 1:30am and 4:30) still loved seeing his little crying face. Anyway, he brings SO much joy to my life. He's a bundle of energy and keeps me on my toes, but I love it. He has SOO much personality for a one year old, it amazes me. I feel like he is aging twice is fast. Can you believe it...he already knows how to climb all the steps at the park to go down the big slide!! I DIDNT TEACH HIM THAT! lol He is such a daredevil. :) Scares me everytime he does it and I'm right behind him in case he falls but he does it, and goes down all by himeself also! :) Anyway...back to the post!

SO, we had an UP themed birthday party for him because of the 'Russell' in his name. :) lol Barely anyone around here just calls him Layton, it's always Layton Russell. I even catch myself, when I really need to get his attention I use both names and he listens! :) So back to the party..lol I guess I should let the pictures do most of the explaining...it was a fun day, I'll say that much. I was really having a hard time that Laytons grandparents on my side couldn't be here for it, but on the day of the party it was all good, and I'm so thankful for that. We missed them, yes, but it was still a fun party!
