That's okay. Even if Seth doesn't know to be excited about a countdown calendar, we know what fun he is in store for.

He's so cute, as always.

Luke looks like he is plenty happy with counting down. He knows what it means!

 

[TinksThree]

I'm like you and so busy but I have definitely been following along...although it has taken me this long to catch up to end of August posts! Looking forward to the TR!!

I didn't realize Cape May had crab legs!! We haven't been there in 2 years but they didn't all the times we went in the past. I will definitely have to tell Ray...we stopped going b/c it's boring for the kids but I may just have to make a res for Jan!!

I hope they have crab legs - I'll be super disappointed if they don't. Allearsnet.com lists it on their August 2011 menu:

And the Disney website lists it, too:

So I hope that's a good sign!

They had them in July and we loved them! That was part of the reason we ate there...we love crab legs!

Just thought I'd stop by to celebrate that we are now at 16 days!!!!!!

And also to share some pictures of Seth's 1st birthday with you guys. We had a ton of fun, but were exhausted afterwards....birthday boy, mommy and daddy all! Seth had everyone cracking up. He is getting to where he dances with any kind of music and when people laugh, he laughs along with them, even if he has no clue what he's laughing at. And that makes them laugh more!

This was our big present to him (um....besides a trip to Disney World). It's a Thomas the Train table and Ray got it on craigslist for $75, which apparently is really good. They supposedly retail for something like $250. Ray is really pushing the Thomas stuff, which is fine, except I asked him why he chose such an expensive hobby!

The spread....

The star of the show!

Opening some presents (he loaded up!!!)....

At this point he was done with presents and wanted to play, so I was on my own....

Lightning McQueen brought him back for a brief second....

A quick family picture before it's cake time...

This is his smash cake. We just got this and cupcakes for everyone else. So much easier than cutting a cake!

Singing Happy Birthday.... I think he was less than impressed.

Um.....what do you want me to do with that???

He dug in a little bit. But he was more interested in trying to "pick up" the stripes on the cake than destroying it. He's so funny about that kind of thing - he notices the tiny little details. And also every time he'd start to really get into it everyone would cheer and I think that kind of freaked him out, so he'd stop doing it!

Once or twice I picked the cake up and put it to his mouth and he'd take a bite out of it!

What the heck do you have on your face, Dad?

The cake....after!

Playing with balloons....

Later that night, playing with his aunt and uncle, who kept him very busy!

My dad and brother....they look so much alike here! By the way, that bandage on my brother's hand is from a severe burn he got back in May from cooking donuts at home. It was so bad!

Seth with his granny (my mom)...

The next day, Sunday, was actually his birthday. Here he is trying to share breakfast with his great-grandfather (and namesake)....

We decided to head up to the North Georgia Zoo, which is basically goats, sheep, pigs and chickens...oh, and a couple of llamas. Yeah, a big farm. We have Zoo Atlanta nearby but I hate to pay $22 to get in and then only stay a couple of hours, which would have been his limit the day after his birthday party b/c he was so tired! But Seth loved it and that's all that mattered that day.

Feeding the goats....

And the sheep....

Checking out the pigs!

This picture cracks me up b/c the goat wanted Seth's snack and Seth wasn't gonna share!

Oh, and I have to share these. We were trying to get a good picture of my dad's side of the family before they left that night, and we COULD NOT get one! It was insane. Here are some of the funnier ones....

Seth being silly....

Yeah, remember I said I'd share a "few"? I don't think that works with me and pictures.

 

[shannon47142]

what fun pictures of Seth's big day! You guys look so happy and he sure is becoming a cute young boy

 

[KatGarcia]

i cant even believe Seth is 1 already! I can barely imagine meeting my daughter much less her being 1! Def enjoyed the pics tho! I cant wait to hear all about how Seth loves Disney, its in his blood!

 

[Poolrat]

The days are long but the years are short. How true.
Where did this year go? I have loved seeing Seth grow from a tiny baby to the toddler he is becoming.



I hope we cross paths in a couple of weeks.

 

[hcmommy]

Thank you for sharing Seth's bday pictures . They were so cute. Especially the ones of him in his high chair.

Those family pics are hilarious!!!! Your brother and dad look just alike, don't they?!

16 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Such adorable pictures from Seth's birthday! Thanks for sharing his cuteness with us!

 

[lovealldisney]

Dawn,
Long time lurker here, I had to come out and say Seth is adorable! And looks so much like your DH! He has really grown! What a sweet family. Thanks so much for sharing. And a Happy Belated B-day to Seth.

 

[mickeyfan71]

Wow! A year old already! His birthday looked like a lot of fun for all!
In case I miss y'alls send off I wanted to say- "Have a great time and I hope Seth's first trip is magical!"

 

[TinksThree]

So happy you posted birthday pictures! Seth is an absolute doll! I know you must be getting beyond excited that the trip is getting so close!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

enjoyed the pics, and having a son who loves thomas the train stuff, here is a little tip.


there are many knock off brands of tracks that look almost identical some you cant even tell the difference that match up with the thomas stuff and are 100% compatible.

there is a imaginerium brand at toys r us, circo i think is target...ikea has there own.

walmart carries one and so does meijer...so you dont have to spend a ton of money on the thomas name brand ones.

also send me a PM if you want i have the names of a few people on ebay that sell authentic thomas trains and cars pretty cheap as well.

 

[punkin413]

Dan - OMG...you and Ray would have a field day together. ALL HE'S BEEN DOING for the last 2 months is researching Thomas stuff. He sends me e-mails with links to ebay saying things like, "yeah, right...I'm not paying that for this," or "Holy moly, this guy doesn't know what he has....what a great deal" and it all sounds like he's speaking Chinese to me b/c I don't have a clue! Yeah, please send me the name or whatever. You can PM me here or just send it to me on Facebook. Thanks!
