Cohen's 1st Birthday Party!!!

On Friday, June 13th we celebrated Cohen's first birthday with a huge party at the park!
It was a BUG PARTY! Each of the kids got a bumble bee or ladybug bug jar with their name on it and a butterfly net, bug tongs or a dragonfly magnifying glass!
We used the bug collecting toys during the BUG HUNT!

Cohen's favorite bug was worms! (Plastic ones of course!)
Look, here is a dragonfly!
We barbecued caterpillar dogs and had baked beetles, butterfly salad and bug juice! Along with fruit, chips, cake and ice cream! Scott made all 50 (yes, 50) hot dogs for all the 50 friends, cousins and family members that came to celebrate with us!
(My HOT husband!)
We rented a pavilion and decorated it with dragonflies, butterflies and streamers!
More of the party!
(There were 3 very pregnant women at the party and I was hoping someone would go into labor! Our friend Andrea (pictured below, this is probably the last picture of her pregnant), was having contractions and after she left the party she decided she should probably go to the hospital! She actually had her baby that night at 1 am! CONGRATS Andrea, Chris, Tanner and Dallin on your new baby, Colter! He is beautiful!)Cohen's cake! Oh, it was YUMMY!!!
Scott and I cutting the cake and serving it up with ice cream and a gummy worm! I want more!
Time to eat the cake! He thought the candle was exciting!
*Make a WISH!*He didn't dive right into it like I thought he would so I placed his hand on top to show him that it was his to demolish! He liked that!
Our baby is ONE! Crazy!
"Hey Dad! Do you want some?"
Happy Birthday my sweet baby!
Cohen had so much fun at his party and got to play with his Grandmommy a lot since we were busy with all the guests!
(My beautiful Mama!)
Cute as a BUG!
Cousins Devan, Cameron and Kaden!Cohen was spoiled by everyone and got great birthday presents! A lawnmower, bouncing elephant, lots of cute clothes, a puzzle, dvds, a blow up pool, books and even more toys! Thanks everyone for celebrating with us! We love our little boy!

Okay, lots of comments. First, Alicia you look gorgeous in all those pictures! Way to be a perfect mom while keeping up your amazing looks! Second of all that woman can't be 9 months pregnant! She looks like me at about 4 months pregnant. I hate people like that (not really, but I'd like to). And most importantly, what a wonderful birthday party! That looks like it was so much fun, and darling idea for a theme! Where did you get those bug tongs and bug catchers? You guys sure throw a mean party, wish we could have been there!

We loved your party! It was so much fun! And Cole LOVES his bug jar. He carried it around for days and kept saying "my bug!" It was so cute. Well, until he said it really loud in sacrament meeting. Anyway, we loved all you did for Cohen's special day. I have a lot to learn from you about being an awesome mom!
