Happy First Birthday, Sweet Sutton!

Sutton's birthday party was a blast!!! Enjoy!

invitation from etsy.com (chickabug designs)


love this recycled project!! these were soda cans that i cut to look like flowers, the yellow centers are lids from sutton's baby food, and we used clothes hangers for the stems.

these are mason jars filled with bug candy!

bug nets with bubbles, candy, bugs, magnifying glass, and more!




i hung this banner and realized there were no pictures of sutton on the mantle. there were pictures of my maternity session from cannon and all newborn pics of cannon. so i pulled these off sutton's wall a few minutes before the party.

each flower petal has a picture of sutton from each month of his precious little life.

the night before! brett was a huge help! he put the bug houses together and even "munched" the plates for me with a scallop punch. :)

i LOVE LOVE this picture of sutton.





brett and i made this photo board. it turned out soooooo cute!! i love this and plan to try to do a version of this for future parties too.






loved his cake.


our sweet family. cannon is wearing an adorable ant shirt from etsy.com. i made brett's "roach" shirt with an iron-on and sutton's too. my shirt is just a white shirt from old navy. i got these flowers from the craft store and glued them onto pins and pinned them on.




this picture CRACKS me up.




it was a perfect day. the weather was perfect and sutton seemed to enjoy himself. this was our best party so far! everything turned out so well.

i really hope that my boys remember these sweet moments when they get older.

i just LOVE birthdays. growing up i only remember having 2 parties. i guess i am making up for it now.
