So the wee man turned one today...crazy. I seriously can't believe how this year has flown by. I mean, one year ago we were in the hospital holding this tiny little thing, scared to fall asleep because then who would be watching him... and now we are halfway across the world in Pitscottie, Scotland. Who would have guessed? Even though it was just the three of us here celebrating his big day, we made the most of it (and made the most of the amazing blue sky and warm weather) and went to "Cairnie Fruit Farm" just a few minutes from our house. Don't let the name fool you - it was super fun for all of us (I think Trav came home more tired than Justus!).
We started with lunch in their "Tea Kitchen" - some yummy tomato soup and paninis.
Then we headed outside to the pedal go-kart track. Travis pedaled and Justus and I sat back and enjoyed the scenic (and bumpy and semi-wild) ride! Trav was taking the turns as fast as anyone ever has on this track, I'm sure. We were leaving the other little kids in our dust.
Maybe next year, buddy...
This place had like 8 in-ground trampolines. Again, Justus was the lucky recipient of Trav's over-enjoyment of these things!
Next, onto the huge above-ground blob type thing (as if we hadn't bounced enough).
As a nice break, we got to go pick our own basket of strawberries. Justus taste-tested several of them to make sure we were only getting the good ones.
Needless to say, Justus was pretty tired after all the activity. Thankfully they had a huge net swing that he could lay back and relax on before we headed back inside.
One last treat before leaving... strawberry ice cream. And in case you didn't know, this kid loves his ice cream.
After a nap and some dinner, he got to dig into his official birthday cupcakes (some even topped with blueberries - his favorite thing to eat right now, besides ice cream that is). 
We all had a really fun day and wish everyone we loved could have been here to celebrate with us! Now, can this kid get any cuter??

Happy birthday big boy! I remember holding you in the hospital a year ago! And just so you know, I just ate some strawberry ice cream- I love it too! Miss you so much and wish we could've been there to squeeze you!

awww I hate that we could not have all celebrated together. Happy late Birthday Justus... Absolutely adorable little one year old! why are you sooo cute? I hope your dad did not drive like a crazy man driving a BMW in a church parking lot!!!!
Yes, Jessica, he can get cuter... he will begin to say the most outlandish things - and you need to promise that you will share every sentence with all of us.
Looks like a really great birthday. Are you going back for Travis' birthday?
Wow! What a rock 'em sock 'em birthday party! We don't have cool places like that in AZ! Happy Birthday, Justus!
It's the weirdest thing to see you at the house... You all look so happy and that's not surprising.
Has Justus grown that much since you left?? Somebody took your baby and put a little boy in his place!
Hey, that Mexican restaurant called to ask where you are... ;-)
Blessings to you all! Can't even tell ya how much we miss ya. Your first "party-in-a-box" should be on it's way by the end of next week.
