July 14, 2009...Happy 1st birthday Summer!!

July 14th marked one year since Summer was born! I can't believe it ! The first part of the day was spent at Children's clinic visits....lucky girl. At her first appt. they brought in a huge gift bag containing a book, a stuffed Tigger (which she still loves), and a shape sorting toy. We went to the Home care nurses office next and they had bought her a birthday balloon. Everyone there is so happy with her progress...so are we, of course! She has come so far...we decided to celebrate with our families and some of our closest friends :) My brother in law and 3 of their kids were in town from Utah to join us :)

Summer's cupcake cake...Sunshine, a natural choice :)

Andrew really wanted to share his family birthday party with Summer, so he got a 3rd celebration!

He loves Pokemon...cupcakes make great Poke balls!
I had fun making these cakes :)

Andrew is sharing in the celebration for Summer's birthday....Philip Arnold Park

The Snedakers! Angie helped set up for the party...in order to avoid a big reservation fee, she staked out the pavillion at the park...she almost had to duke it out with another lady who wanted this spot...ha haha

Andrew didn't believe us that this package of diapers was for him! Ha ha....Summer got probably over 1,000 diapers for her birthday...we just used the last of them at the first part of October :) Wow, that's a lot of diapers!
