Jaylee Turning ONE!!!

So crazy that a year ago yesterday I dropped off my sweet little Joseph for his first day of Kindergarten and off to the hospital to deliver our rainbow princess Jaylee. It still seems like a dream at times.

I am not even sure what to say about her birthday so I will let the pictures do all the talking......



I love your birthday outfit!!! I am so pleased how it all came together. I had ordered the skirt shortly after she was born and then custom ordered her shirt and headband. She is the Rainbow Princess.
Someone didn't want to wait for everyone else to get there to open presents. So yes I let her sneak one in there to hold her over. I think enjoyed the paper more.
The Cake!!! the center piece of any birthday!!! My awesome brother Sean has taken up the hobby of making cakes for friends and family along with the help of his beautiful wife. It turned out sooo perfect!!! Including the cupcakes I found on pintrest :)
But before we dig into the cake must eat food!!! We kept it simple and had a hot dog bar with all kinds of toppings. Always a kid favorite.
Can we say spoiled!!! OK well loved. As you can tell she had no problem catching onto this whole open presents thing.

Candle and song!!!
Drum Roll Please............
Hum.....
OK.....
Feels different.....Taste yummy!!......
I am liking this.....
Aww!! Look there is more to this sweet squishy outer layer......
Check me out!!!
Yep!!! We got this in the bag!!!

What a great way to end the day with a fun messy birthday cake!!! She made a bigger mess then her brothers did on their first birthdays. Although they had coached her a little from the side lines. 

After all was done and said I want to thank everyone who came and shared in the day with us. I felt such a release and weight lift for a perfect day!! We are so glad Jaylee is in our family and brightens everyone she meets. 

......I have another post coming sharing the thoughts and emotions of this past year........

Back To School

Well this is it!! Our only year that all three boys have the same school schedule with a year round. After this Jarren is off to the big leagues and goes traditional. I would love for the year to takes it time so I may enjoy and simple schedule. Well, one can dream right ;) This will also be the last year that all three boys will be in the same school together as well. Makes me kinda sad in knowing they really are growing up.


Jarren my big 6th grader
Jacob My little big 3rd grader
Trouble
My Three musketeers. Oh Man I love them!!
Joseph's official first day of 1st Grade was the following day! My little man is now moving up and leaving me without a lunch date. He was so excited!!!
And of course Jaylee had to see them off. Well the boys didn't want to put her down.
