A Weekend to Remember

WHAT A WEEKEND. This Saturday was lil taters birthday party. The very first one. It's crazy to think that only a year ago he was born. It seems like yesterday that I held him for the first time. That I heard him take his first breathe of air. It seems like only yesterday that he slept right next to us in his bassinet, and now a year later hes walking, talking (his own language) and exiting babyhood and moving into lil boy(hood).  I'm not sure if I'm ready for him to grow up. I know what your thinking he still only one you've got seventeen more years to have him, but if this first ONE went by that fast how fast will the rest go. Its such and amazing overflow of emotions as a parent, be proud and excited as your baby grows up. And on the other hand be saddened by the fact that they are. I feel kinda bad now that I think about it, I'm sure this is how my parents had to feel as I grew up. I'm not sure if ill ever be able to look at my lil tater and not see him as a little baby, so cute and lovable. That's kinda hard for me to admit because I would love for him to grow up and be a tough linebacker type, a gentle giant. An animal on the Field, or court, and pleasant, and nice off.  I guess I'm putting the cart before the horse we probably better just get him sleeping without his teddy bear before we unleash him on the football field. Well, anyway, this weekend was a complete success, thanks to my wife. I really can not brag about her enough. She put together this amazing birthday party. She made cakes, sent out invitations, it was great. Not sure if lil tater will remember it but we have enough picture to last him a lifetime.  A bunch of people should up for the party, including the grandparents and Great Grandparents. So of course since we had everyone in town we had to share the "NEWS."  I'll tell ya what its kinda hard to divide the time, because we wanted the party to be about lil tater but we wanted to tell our family while we had them there in person, so we did. My wife thought up a great idea about wrapping up little diaper to share the news on the front it read "Boy ? Girl"  then on the inside we put "TWINS."  It was a great hit, I believe both sets of grandparents were blown away, completely caught off guard, but blown away.  Everyone was extremely excited about the thought of twins. For my parent this is going to be there second Grandchild so they were elated to escalate up to three grandchildren to spoil. My in-laws were thrilled as well. My brother in-law also has three children so we have caught up to them, and now my in-laws have an even number to spoil. All in all it was a phenomenal time. I love when we get to see out parents, especially when we have wonderful secrets to share with them. This weekend was a wonderful time, lil tater got more presents than he knows what to do with. Our parents got a little extra gift surprise that they were unexpected. And we got the joy of being parents to the worlds best one year old, and looking forward to celebrating many more with him and the TWINS.
