JAMES' FIRST BIRTHDAY

It's been ages since I blogged. It seems that I never have enough time to blog lately. I visit some blogs and leave comments on those who visit my blog first or those special blogger friends, we all have some that we bond strongly with for some reason or other.  Tonight, it's a short post for a change.

Last week was James first birthday and my daughter Christine sent me some photos.


Oh mama, bring on the cake, I'm the Birthday Boy.  What-is-that-on-the-cake?




OOh... it looks pretty....James wanted to touch the fire on the candle. He was more interested in the candle than the cake. 



Now how do I go about it. Let me see....  Ah, this is gonna be a piece of cake...


 
How do you like my blue finger nails. I think it pretty cool.I bet it's tasty too. I think that I may have a sweet tooth or two...




I told you it was gonna be a piece of cake.  Mama makes the best cakes. Now I hope that I don't have to wait another year for another piece. I know that she's saving some for the birthday boy.

                                   ********************************************

Today was my husband George's Birthday.  I had so many errands to run all over town and no time to bake a cake,  I bought him a birthday cake and since he's a practical man, I bought him a big roll of duct tape. I didn't had my camera handy and he didn't want to wait for me to go get it. He dug right into the cake for desert. So I have no pictures.

This evening we were on the phone talking to my daughter long distance for a long time. She called to wish her dad a Happy Birthday. Then my son in law set up a conference call on Skype and we all talked again for quite a while, so of course, I'm late blogging.

Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment.  JB

  5. Gosh your baby is already a year old. I can't believe a year has gone by so fast. James is such a sweetie pie and I love these pic's. Sweet that their birthdays are so close together. I had to laugh at your gift to your husband. You are just so much fun to keep up with.
    I am so glad I came by tonight. Pictures of James always make me smile.
    Now I have to catch up with your other post since I was gone for a week.
    Can not tell you how glad I am to be back home. Don't get me wrong I love seeing new places but not like this. It was strictly a business trip for her.

  8. Our grandbabies are just a few weeks a part. your James has the most beautiful eyes. My grandbaby doesn't like to get her hands dirty so she didn't dive into her cake.
    Duct tape made me laugh. They have very fancy duct tape now so did you get him the lepord print?
    I love your header too.
    Happy Birthday to both of your birthday boys.

  19. So sweet. James gets cuter every day. He is changing - starting to look more like a toddler. He seemed fascinated by that blue frosting. And happy birthday to George also.

  20. Happy Birthday to George and James! Everytime we see James he is growing and changing as it should be, but it would be nice if that first year did not go so fast. I think Grandma you are right, a bit of a sweet tooth,but pretty neat he is not wearing much of the cake at all. Hope all is well with you and yours and have a great week.
