July Birthdays Pics Parade~

We just had the joy of celebrating our grandson's first birthday, only a few weeks after he arrived! It was a wonderful day complete with a fiesta theme, tacos, nachos, marguaritas and of course a pinata! Any other July birthdays want to share a photo?
Also, congrats to all of the OUTS I've seen posted this week - keep them coming!
~Grams to Gabe

Well, My birthday and my husbands birthdays are both this week....I realize that we're not kiddos, but can I still share a picture? The best birthday present we could have gotten was Emmy getting Out of PGN (she did on Tuesday) and the next best present was our amazing visit with her...so, if it's alright, here are my pics.

Michele,
I have the same problem. We got a new computer and nothing to resize photos (or that I know of) on there yet. I did all my resizing in Photobucket. They're really fast with uploading and resizing.

Connor turns 3 on Monday, the 16th <<<<<snifflle sniffle>>>> We're having his party on Sun so out of town family/friends can be there. I'll post more pics after that.

Here's a couple of him from the other day. He handed me the camera and said "mommy take pishures of me!" and proceeded to pose (note the grin)--who could resist that request? Not this photo-addicted mommy! So here's my camera hog...

Love all the pics! And yep-the big 'kiddos' count, too

Gabriella turned one on June 12. We had a pool party for her at our friends house. Our little pookie loves the water! (Now why doesn't she like baths?) My mom made the cake with some decorating help from my sister, they are so great. Sorry everyone, I have lost my mind as Gabby turned one on June 12, not July (edited because I am a loony dad). Congrats to all you July Birthdays.

Here's my Gracie. she turned a year old on July 4! It's amazing to me when I think that a year ago today, my dossier was in Kemerovo, Russia and I had no idea Grace even existed. And she is the absolute perfect fit for our family.
