Happy 1st Birthday Maddox!

Today was Maddy's 1st Birthday! I can't believe he is already a year old! My how time fliest. Because today is a Sunday, and we wanted to do something super fun as a family together, we actually celebrated yesterday. We had a family zoo party! We went to the zoo and spent the afternoon pulling Maddy in his new wagon (thanks pops and grammy!). He LOVES his wagon! We even took him to the petting zoo there but he was much more interested in what all the other kids were doing than he was petting the animals.
We got to see pretty much all of the animals which kinda suprised us because we got there an hour before it closed! I thought there was no way we would get through it but we did! Grandma Weeze even made sure to show him the flamingos. She was so excited to show him. While they watched she told him what they were doing. "See the two pretty birds. Look at them come over here in the water. Wow, look how pretty that one is while she spreads her wings. Oh wait! No! No!" This would have been about the time when the other bird jumped on top of the first bird and started going at it. I guess my son doesnt need the birds and the bees talk now. Infact, who needs the bees? He got to see the birds and the birds first hand! It was SO funny! Thanks Grandma Weeze! What an educational experience! After the zoo we went home and had a BBQ. Yum! We opened presents. Of course, however, he was more interested in carrying around the bags the toys came in than he did the actual toys. Silly kid. Maddox even had a blast destroying his Zoo themed cake. He was on the biggest sugar high the rest of the night! What a fun day!
