Riley turned 1!

Last weekend, Mackenzy and I celebrated Riley's 1st birthday at Tumblebees.  If you are wondering, Riley is the son of one of my friends/teammates (Sarah) from my gymnastics days.  Sarah and I did gymnastics at Tumblebees for years so it only seemed natural for our kids to play together in the same place for his birthday!  It's always strange going back to Tumblebees and being around the equipment, but always exciting to see old friends and coaches.  I usually get the urge to do a flip, but I resisted this time for fear of being sore for a few days!

Before eating cake, the kids were able to explore and play around the gym for a little bit.  Mackenzy had never been in a foam pit and as you can see below she wasn't to thrilled that I put her in there!

The balance beam was never my favorite, but Mackenzy loves walking on it at the Little Gym and loved it at Tumblebees too.  I think it's because she is so small right now and still in dare devil mode that she doesn't realize how skinny the beam really is...  It'll be interesting to see if she continues to like it as she gets older.

And this is Riley!  This cute little boy has blue eyes that will melt your heart and loves to flirt with the ladies!

 I think at this point Riley was getting hungry, sleepy, and his juice had just been taken away to make room for the cake.  Needless to say he was not a happy camper, until...

CAKE!!!  Who needs juice of a spoon when you get to eat pure sugar with no hands!  He dove right in to the cake and at about 1/4 of it before it was time to open presents!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Riley's first birthday!  1st birthday's are always fun because I completely understand how crucial and tiring the 1st year can be.  Sarah and Josh you're doing a great job and Happy Birthday Riley!
