My First Birthday

Cousins Caleb, Meg & Sam visited for the day. It was Karson's first time meeting them, didn't take him long to warm up tho. We are looking forward to seeing them again for our Thanksgiving get together along with the rest of the family.

Andrew & Jeremy brought 2 toy cars for Karson. One stays at our house, one at Grandma Kolb's - specific instructions by Andrew. Karson pushes them all over the place, climbs in and out by himself, piles rocks and dirt in the opening behind the seat.

I wanted to make him a cake instead of buying one. I mixed up the batter and poured it in the pan, that's about as close to baking as I get. Grandma Bonnie baked, frosted and deocrated the monkey cake. We used Hershey Kisses, M & M's and chocolate licorice for the face. Job well done!

First bite of cake, he made quite the face.


Karson received many nice gifts for his birthday. Clothes, toys, and much more. The cousins helped him open his presents.




Uncle Pat and Pete took the kids for tube rides behind the jet skit. At one point, Caleb was on the jet ski with Pete with Meg & Sam on the tub. Karson floated around and played in it.

The lake water was a little chilly after the cool temps and rain. Pete thought it would be a good time to tackle Caleb and dunk him in the water.

Anything Karson can steer or drive makes his day.

Grandpa Jim tells ones of his many stories to Uncle Patrick. ;)
Later on, he cooked up his famous shrimp boil for all of us. He brought back fresh shrimp from Texas for the special occasion.


Yummy!



Great Grandpa & Grandma Munger were visiting MN for Labor Day weekend and joined us for the birthday celebration.
