Party Time!!!!

We had a first birthday party around here on Saturday. The theme was April Showers (think rain drops, umbrellas, and rainbows) so guess what the weather did- rained all day! Perfect to fit the theme. The good news is we could do everything inside and all was well! A had a great day and we were so thankful that all our family could drive and join us for the big day. I had fun planning this party and coming up with ideas, although I have decided that Pinterest is the devil!

Food Table

Everyone's Cake

A's Smash Cake

COOKIES!

Thanks Mrs. Johnson for the banners and cutouts! Too Cute!

Not sure what to do about the candles- at least she didn't try to eat them or burn her fingers off!

Hmm- Cake?

About as much as she liked it~

I'm over this cake stuff- I think I'll drop it off for Roxie to clean up!

Who are these people and why are they so close?

OOHHH, a big one!

What does this do?

Cousins!

Beth and Dandaddy

This is how opening presents went- A didn't care or know what to do so all her cousins helped!

Katie, Dandaddy, Amy, Grammy, and SK

Thanks for coming to the party- see you next year! :)

1 Year Photo Shoot

A few weeks ago we had a friend take some pictures of A for her first birthday. These are a week or two early but SO CUTE. She did a great job. There are some really great ones of A and Daddy that I can't wait to order and hang in the house! Thanks Darci!

Here are some of my favorites, although it was hard to choose!

11 Months

March 30th

It's hard to believe that A is already 11 months. She is walking 4 or 5 steps on her own but falls and mostly likes to crawl to really get anywhere. She says Bye-Bye anytime someone leaves (unless you want her to of course), she says Mama for milk or more (as in food), she moos (really she says booo) when asked what a cow says, and roars when asked what a lion says. She still loves the paci at night in her crib to sleep and she is still on 4 bottles a day. She eats mostly table food, the only baby food she will east is if she doesn't see any other type of food around. Otherwise, baby food is out! She likes to throw food off her high chair for Roxie when she gets finished eating or when she doesn't like something. Her favorite foods are grapes, chicken, broccoli, peas, peppers, cheerios, turkey, and cheese. She does not like strawberries, cottage cheese, lettuce, or applesauce. I'm sure there are others but I am drawing a blank. She loves to walk in her "walker" around the house and is pretty fast in it, so watch out Roxie.

Here are a few pics from 11 months- very difficult to catch!

Cheering on the Cats early in the SEC tournament (Friday to be exact!)

Bathing Beauty

This is one of my favorite places to climb-inside any door that opens and then I throw a small fit when you make me
move. :(

Not big on the hair bow.

"Oh, I'm bigger than this owl now. I'll sit on him to prove it!"

First SEC tournament game- Yes, it is a UT game but it was so empty we could get in.

Easter 2013

We had a busy weekend! We went to an Easter Egg hunt on Thursday, had cousins stay the night Friday, and then went to Hoptown on Saturday. We were supposed to go to Sturgis to see my grandparent's on Sunday but Mamma wasn't feeling well so we stayed in Hoptown instead. We attended church, had a delicious Easter lunch with my parents, sister and family, and Grandmother Parker, and then an Easter Egg hunt with both the Parker and the Thomas families.

Family Easter picture

The Easter bunny visited on Sunday morning and brought A puff-filled eggs, candy, a few new outfits (including her birthday party outfit), new "beginning-walking" shoes, and some bath toys. She had fun with everyone!
