Happy 1st Birthday Jack

One of my favorites photo sessions is that of the baby's first birthday, I love the excitement, the family, the friends and best of all the cake.

Thank you Angela and Jim for inviting me to Jack's 1st Birthday Party and allowing me to capture these sweet moments.

Birthday Bash

The other weekend we all gathered at Linda's house to celebrate my step-father Ernie's birthday. We enjoyed a great hot-dog and hamburger cookout with all the trimmings.

We got out the candles...

We sang the ole' birthday song...

We ate the best German Chocolate Cake ever!

Sorry Ernie, we didn't leave any leftover cake.

Even Poncho got to join in on the celebration!

How to eat cake, the video.

How to eat cake!

First you get your Mommy to make you an awesome 1st birthday cake with chickens, pigs and cows along with a red barn and an fence to keep them all in.

Then have everyone sing Happy Birthday, this is what ligths the candle so you can blow it out!

Then have your Daddy give you your 1st piece of cake on your 1st birthday plate!

Check with Daddy to make sure it's still ok,


and it was, so then grab two hands full of cake and squeeze,

and squeeze, this makes the cake just perfect for this...

and that's how to eat cake!
