Day 26 in Colombia!

Owen turned 1 year old today! Happy birthday Owen!! He started out the day with breakfast…

I need to floss, Mom!

And then spent the morning playing…

…and talking on the phone to his pals…

Some privacy PLEASE!


After a bath, he was all set for the party...


Erin and Lucas Sibley stopped by for the party. The pizza hadn't yet arrived, but Lucas was starving!

Then Owen gave Papa, Grandma Slominski, Great Grandma and Grandpa Dineen, Uncle Jason, and Aunt Laura and Kris a call on his webcam. He's very technologically savvy!
Then it was time for pizza!

Hmmmmmm...Dominos!

Boy was that some good pizza!
We then went a little crazy and whipped out the party hats!!

Mom, you know I hate hats!

Hola family in Minnesota! Can you see this silly hat Mom made me wear??
Next it was time for cake! We had gotten an "Elmo" tres leches cake from a nearby bakery . Uncle James thought Elmo looked a little like a red Kermit the frog!
Owen couldn't even wait for the cake to be served. He just dug right in!!

This is some good stuff!

Grandma Klein brought a very special candle for Owen's first birthday - the candle that Mama had for her first birthday! That's one old candle!

A group picture of the Colombia party...

...and one of the Minnesota party!

After Owen devoured his piece of cake, he was sticky from head to toe. There was no way to salvage his birthday clothes so off they went!

After he was cleaned up, he swung over to the computer to see how Papa was doing.
And then came time to open presents...
Owen wanted me to say "Muchas Gracias" for all the wonderful gifts! He absolutely loves them!He may be the next American Idol...

You were so incredibly fortunate to have had two simultaneous birthday celebrations going on in your honor.

You are so adorable and have the cutest smile. I can't wait to meet you!
