Bowie's First Birthday

It feels like just yesterday I was updating about the birth of my baby bear and now he's ONE YEAR OLD! It's so wild how quickly life passes you by when you've got little ones. 

Since he was born on the 4th of July and he is our little starman we decided on a RED WHITE & BLUE SPACE THEME!

we got this amazing   "Shuttle Imagination"  cardboard spaceship and painted it up in my kitchen. Clementine had a great time painting the fins for me and  she really did an amazing job. I was super proud of her.

I made a rocket for Bowie's smash cake! It was my first time carving a cake and even though it's a simple shape it was really hard to do, and it was SUPER hot the day I made it so the frosting kept melting. It's was kind of a disaster, but I'm actually pretty proud of it.

red white and blue space cupcakes for all of our guests

I also made cheesecake stuffed strawberries that turned out SO GOOD OHMYGOD! I want to eat them everyday for the rest of my life. perfect.

I made Bowie a birthday banner, and some marshmallow rocket pops!

My dad made this adorable watermelon rocketship that was filled with star shaped fruits!

we did a little photo station with space themed props

I found the cutest star print plates, I was so in love with them

Clementine had fun helping blow up balloons

nails :D

(we had fun trying to get this thing through my front door)

it was the best birthday gift ever. He was running in and out SQUEALING all day <3
and Clementine has requested the "Castle" for her next birthday

HE LIKES IT!

he got SO MANY great gifts! You could tell that he was really happy to get some toys of his own. He's always sharing Clementine's old toys, and I think he's getting tired of playing Disney princess with her all the time.
