Breanna's Birthday!

With Breanna's actual birthday on September 3 which is the start of a holiday weekend we decided to have her Party this Saturday. We had it at the park and prayed all week that the rain would stay away. It did but we had to brave the strong winds which made Breanna's eyes water. We had fun with family and friends.

She got lots of presents and really had no interest in open anything after the first one. But Megan and Nik sure could help fast enough. For all those that came and are reading this post I just want top THANK you all the gifts were great and sure loves them all. Once we were home she sat and played with the toys for quite awhile.
The cake was done by Brenda Chance from A Cake Affair! She creates fabulous cakes and I wanted to have a big cupcake cake for Breanna's big day. Brenda exceeded my expectations and everyone loved it. There was many oohs and aahhhhs as they were eating also. Breanna could get to her fast enough. Aunt Christie got to close and she got a handful of icing right away. We buckled her in her chair and she went for it. I love that my kids are not timid when it is time to make a mess.





I am still trying to decide when she became so spoiled. Her loot pile is a great combination of clothes and Toys.
THANKS again everyone for helping us celebrate her FIRST Birthday! I can't believe that it has almost been a year since she was born. It has been truly an amazing year and a fun adventure to experience with her and the rest of the family. Breanna has been a very good baby and has made it a fun year watching her experience her first in her own way. She may be a small baby but she is not afraid of anything. She is beginning to walk more and more and if we don't watch her she will climb up the stairs or anything that is in her way to get what she wants. She loves feeding herself and playing with Chase. (I will have to try to get a video to post of that it is the funniest thing). As long as mom is close she will sleep through the night (which she has done since she was less then 2 months).

I LOVE YOU BREANNA and I wish that you remain the happy child that you are and dream big Your life is full of wonderful potential. HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!

Where has the Summer gone...

One week left of summer vacation and then it is back to school. The kids are all excited to meet their teachers Wednesday night at the SEP meeting. Then come August 23 they are back to school.

We have had a fun summer. We spent an amazing week with Becky and the kids, Robert took the kids camping a couple of times and who knows we may get out one more time to test the trailer that he has been fixing up before the elk hunt.

Getting ready for a party!

I am working on Breanna's First Birthday party. We are going to have it on Saturday August 28th at Valley Regional Park. Her Actual birthday is September 3rd but since a Holiday weekend we decided to do it early. The theme is CUPCAKE, so I have been searching for ideas and came across this recipe called "CUPCAKE POPS" from Bakerella. I made a test batch today and they are pretty simple and yummy.. Breanna and the kids really like them. You are actually suppose to put them on sucker stickers but for the test batch I decided to leave them like little bon bons.
