And my deepest apologies to all who caught the stomach bug as a result of attending this party :-(

For lunch we had a yummy Nacho Bar!


I made cupcake toppers for the yummy cupcakes! I also made all of the signs! Thanks for letting me borrow the Cricut Bev!

Party favors for the kids-Sand bucket w/ shovel, mini beach ball, whale stickers, ocean animal tattoo, crazy straw, ocean notepad, shark water shooter, salt water taffy, and a personalized luggage tag! So fun!
Party favors for the baby guests- Bowl with 3 spoons, hand sanitizer, lotion, and a personalized luggage tag!

Game #1-Fish out of water! The kids tossed plastic fish into buckets filled with lollipops...if the fish went in the bucket, they won a lollipop!

Pin the Tail on the Whale!

A quick time line of Owen's life!

For our guests who made not like Nachos, we made Peanut butter and Jelly"fish" sandwiches!

The Punch didn't turn out exactly like I wanted, but I still liked it! I froze "Swedish Fish" candies in ice trays hoping it would look like fish swimming in a fish bowl!

Other Ocean "ONEderland" snacks- Goldfish Crackers, Salt Water Taffy, and Swedish Fish candies!

The Birthday Boy!! Poor child was having the absolute worst hair day of his life!



The classic First Birthday picture! ;-) He really didn't like the hat!

Here's a picture of the Birthday cake I made for Owen BEFORE he tore into it!


He had so much fun with his cake! And I think everyone else had fun watching him!! He just kept hitting it over and over, watching the cake fly into the air! By the end of it Joe and I were both in tears because we were laughing so hard!

Here's the "After" picture of what was the fish cake!


I truly cannot believe the first year of 'lil Owen's life has come and gone! At this point I can hardly remember life without him. He has brought us so much joy and we hope he has and will continue to be a blessing and joy to others!
I'll have to write a post in more detail about his first year, but right now this pregnant woman is too emotional!
