Bad Blogger

I know I have been a bad blogger. There have been so many things I haven't blogged about and just put up on Facebook. There has been Mike, mine and Van's birthdays. Casey walking! The Thanksgiving trip to Florida. And all of my woodworking. (yes I have started to build things out of wood.)

I can skip over Mike and my birthdays because the only thing that happened is getting another year older. Van's birthday was Toy Story themed and a bunch of fun. We had it earlier this year to accommodate our Thanksgiving plans. All toy story characters I could dig up were used as decorations, I even had Barrel of Monkeys hanging off the TV. I even got the kids to play pin the tail on Bullseye.

Thanksgiving we flew to Orlando. We stayed at Bonnet Creek with Mike's mom and my parents. The place has gotten even better since we last stayed there. We spent much time in the newer lazy river and pirate ship themed pool outside of our tower. Van even played mini golf with daddy and PopPop. Becky treated Van and us to Breakfast with the Characters at Animal Kingdom where Van got a kiss from Daisy. The rest of that day we spent at the Magic Kingdom. My parents and I took Casey back for bed while Mike, Becky and Van went to see the Osborn Lights.

We also made it to Sea World with my parents. Van rode his first roller coaster. Watched the dolphin and whale show and the sea lion show.

Casey decided to walk during the Kentucky/UF game and quickly took off. Now crawling is just a novelty.

Happy Birthday Casey

Casey James Meyer turned 1 at 9:30AM Friday.

Friday we had a family party with my parents with Sweet Wishes cupcakes and present opening from the family. Casey only ate the chocolate star off the cupcake. He was delighted by the Toy Story toys, clothes and Cars blocks. Aunt Heather skyped from Haiti earlier in the day and watched Casey open her gift.

Saturday was the big party. Casey had a red, white and blue baseball party (pictures on the slideshow). Lots of friends came to celebrate. Casey wasn't very interested in baseball smash cake but dived into a chocolate covered pretzel. We opened the many great presents and then went outside to play in water. The weather cooperated by staying cloudy but not rainy (Bonnie broke up well before she hit our area).

Casey at age 1. He crawls and cruises around the furniture, he has no interest in walking yet. He has 4 teeth and has had 11 hair cuts. He can say baby, we are not sure if he is calling us baby or referring to himself. He talks a lot. He's my free range chicken by being able to wonder all around the house without many limits. He tends to find trouble like it calls to him. I have found him many time pulling books off of books shelves, pouring his bowl on food on the floor or emptying tables of the items on top on it. He makes up for all the trouble by making you laugh.
