Spring!!!

I love the weather! the snow is melting and the sun is shining! I feel like I'm in paradise...ok, not really, but I am so excited that the weather is turning from nasty snow, wind, grossness to wonderful sunny warm spring!
We get to play outside without layers and worry of frostbite. The only downside is the mud, but i'll take the mud over the alternative.
Spring also brings about other celebrations in the clark/snyder household, such celebrations as Weston's 1 year birthday!

I know, it can't be, but it is. Weston will be 1 in one month. I can't believe he is going to be turning one in a few more weeks. It makes my heart so glad, but also, I am very emotional about this time because he is no longer my baby, he is my little boy who is walking, throwing, solid-food eating, milkshake-weaning, almost talking and tantrum throwing sweet heart. How can he be growing up so fast :(
I love you my little man, even when you drive me crazy :)
So what are we doing for the big birthday bash? Well, we were thinking of travelling to an exotic destination and flying all our friends and family to join us on our private jet. Unfortunately, the jet is having some mechanical issues, so we have decided to stay home and enjoy some cake and ice cream-perhaps an ice cream cake from dairy queen...mmmmm.
I still don't know what to get my little man for his big day. Chad wants to just get a bunch of card board boxes, which in all reality would be just fine because weston really enjoys playing in them, however, I can't bring myself to that. What will happen when Weston is getting pictures around for his graduation party in 17 years. (ok, i'll be doing this, but just for the sake of argument...) He will notice that mom and dad were too cheap to buy him real presents and instead they opted to go to wal-mart and retrieve all of their free boxes.
Needless to say, i am going to get something for my darling...but I just need to figure out what. Any suggestions?
