Josua's First Birthday

 “The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different -- to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.” ~ John Fischer

 Joshua turned one and we had such a lovely day together with Ethan and  Megan and Megan's family up in Cache Valley.  We always have to make a stop at Gossner's Cheese Factory - great ice cream, cheese curds, milk products and cheese of all kinds.

 We had a lovely picnic in the park and the children enjoyed playing on all the toys and we enjoyed watching the children . . .

 Joshua had lots of helpers ~ the cousins were so cute playing together ~ everybody wanted to help him walk around the park. 

Loved this photo of Hunter ~ in the pink!

 Logan has a small zoo and it was just right for the little ones, and the old ones and the in between ones too.

Our little birthday boy!  

 One of the healthiest birthday cakes ever - one of Megan's delicious muffins with cheerios on top!  What a great idea!
