our little man jasper is turning the big ONE this week so we threw him a little birthday party on sunday. we got him his own little cake to demolish...oddly enough he stayed relatively clean since he would only eat without his hands which made it pretty entertaining to watch him peck away :)

he just kept cracking up every time he touched his cake...so flippin cuuuuute!!!!

all clean!

had an awesome couple's portrait session this morning...cindy and daniel flipped my lid.

our little guy is turning one in only a few weeks!!! here's a couple recent pictures from the park a few days ago...jasper looks so tough in his tight paul frank t-shirt :)

both pics shot with our handy dandy point and shoot camera!
