A sweet birthday for a sweet girl!

This past weekend, we had Bailey's 1st birthday party! Her birthday is on Easter, so we celebrated a week early.

Her party didn't have a theme per say, it was just sweet, simple and girly...just like her!





We had the party mid-morning, and served fruits, veggies, cheese, chicken salad with croissants, and cupcakes.


We had a few "adventures" the day before the party. Our cupcakes/smash cake got a little messed up, so we had to buy pre made ones (which was a-ok and turned out great!) Our balloons also deflated before the party, but the store was kind enough to let us pick up new ones.


To say that Bailey was a fan of her smash cake would be an understatement. She LOVED it. By the end, she had it in her ears, her eyes, and all over her face!




Big Sister had a blast at the party as well.  She kept saying "Happy Birfday Bay-Bay!"


She was even kind enough to help Bailey open up her gifts ;)



We were so thankful for everyone who came! As usual, I did not snap a picture of everyone that I wanted to.






My favorite guest was this guy...He drove up from CS to surprise me. I may have shed a few tears when he walked in the door!




We spent time playing on Bailey's new slide, and outside on the girls motorcycles.






Somehow we didn't get a family picture of the 4 of us! We are so thankful that we had a chance to celebrate the life and 1st year of Miss Bailey!

Little Fish

Ashlynn recently started swimming lessons! She has a bit of a fear of water in her face/being in a pool, so we figured it was a good idea to get her comfortable in it before summer.  

She did fairly well her first class! She was pretty nervous, but hung in there. By the end of class 2, she let me put her head all the way under water, could climb out by herself, was at least attempting to kick, and loved jumping into my arms from the side of the pool. We are still working on blowing bubbles in the water and floating on our back.




Rangers Game

Last night, we got to meet up with some sweet friends and take Ashlynn to her first Rangers game of the year. We were going to take Bailey, but the weather was a little dreary for her.








Spring days

I have oodles of birthday posts coming up, since a certain Baby B will be 1 next Sunday.  Until then, here is a peek at life around here!


Making PBJ with mama for "National PBJ" day!


Miss B got brave and slid down the slide...only to get her first busted lip!


She is a lover of all things food...and SCARFED down some spaghetti and Grandma and Grandpas!


Someone is a daddy's girl!


About a week ago we put our zoo passes to great use and took the girls for the day.




We also got to go to the Arboretum with friends!


And here is B "trying" mama's coffee ;)
