Happy 1st Birthday Bishop!

Happy 1st Birthday Bishop!!!!

Wow-what a year it's been, I can't believe you're one already!!! Crazy! You are such a joy...ALWAYS happy, giggling and enjoying life to it's fullest! You have taught me so much and I am so proud of you!!

Thanks for the past year, you are amazing!!

Bishop's last day of being a "baby". We spent the afternoon/evening at Grandpa and Grandma Froehle's (yesterday).

Lifting weights!!

Bishop's last "sleep" before he turned one!

Bishop got to take a bath the morning of his birthday--one of his favorite things to do!

Eating lunch at school!

Opening a few presents from Gpa and Gma B!

Grandma B gave me some cake so I could practice before my party on Sunday!

Eating at Buster's for my birthday dinner!

I thought the last two pictures were so cute--with Luke looking at Bishop and then Bishop looking at Luke. He had so much fun eating out--and we had chocolate cake to celebrate and Bishop LOVED it!!!

We had such a great day! Bishop was able to celebrate with his friends at school this morning. I picked him up around noon and we celebrated with Gpa and Gma B. We visited my cousin, Tim, who just had back surgery and we celebrated with more gifts from (Great) Uncle Bob and Aunt Sandy. We ended the day with a trip to Buster's and celebrated with Uncle Jake! The best is yet to come with the party on Sunday!

I re-told our crazy story to Bishop's teachers today at school and it brought back so many memories. A year ago today was a scary day!! Neither Bishop, nor I, were doing very well...but we have had such a happy year and things couldn't be better! It's hard to believe what we experienced within the past year and Bishop puts everything into perspective! His smiles and giggles are unforgetable--to me he is the definition of HAPPY!! Such a happy, go with the flow, carefree boy (we're still trying to figure out where that came from)! :)

I thought I might be more emotional today--and while it was a little sad to see my "baby" turn one, I am so happy and proud of him! I was sad to see the day end though--as it was such a great day and I didn't want it to end!!

We have Bishop's one year appointment tomorrow and his party on Sunday--so we have a fun weekend ahead!!

Here's to the next year--it's sure to be even better than the last!!

You Are My I Love You, Bishop!
