Since Blake likes all-things-round these days (balls, balloons, etc.), and since we have the Disney movie "UP" and all the other things needed for the characters' "costumes," we went with it. 
Blake loved having second-cousin Jax over for his 1st birthday!
Balloons!
The dessert/decor spread (we had a sandwiches and dips bar as well)
My attempt at hot-air balloon cupcakes
1st Birthday banner
It was a family party, and Blake sure enjoyed all the attention! The birthday boy with GG
And the kids enjoyed the playroom!

First cupcake: taste test,
Palming it!
I think it's pretty good if I do say so myself

And then we took to the great outdoors for some sandbox time
Blake could seriously live outside!

Kicking!
Our family was generous and gave Blake some loot. He had a lot of helpers in his cousins!
Stewart gals!
I'm ONE, Yay for me!
Daddy's boy for sure
My sis, Lynnlee, and sweet lil Josie, 4 1/2 months
Cousin Riley loved Blake's/aka "Old-man Carl's" walker :-)
After afternoon naps, we headed to the backyard for some "staged" shots :-)
He wasn't having anything to do with the glasses, as predicted...
Russell and Carl :-)
Love this one!
2nd year, say what?! Here I come!

My attempt at a hot-air balloon/basket
We had a blast celebrating our littlest boy turning 1! And Jameston LOVED helping me plan and gear up for Blake's party, which made it even more special.
And we think Blake had a pretty good time as well!
