Easter 2018

    We had such a wonderful Easter with family and friends. We spent it in Corpus Christi at our family friends house this year because we were helping my sister move into her new house over the weekend. We had so much fun vising with everyone and celebrating Jesus's resurrection from the dead.

My beautiful babies!

Connor's Fourth Birthday Party

    In April Connor turned four years old. We didn't throw him a birthday party because we were in the process of moving, but we did promise him we would celebrate when we got to Texas. We kept that promise, and on May 6 we threw him a small birthday party at my mom and dads house. He had a lot of fun playing with his cousins and eating the special strawberry cupcakes I made him {he requested them months ago}. 

Connor's Fourth Birthday

   On Sunday my sweet boy turned FOUR! It's so, so crazy how fast he has grown. Because we move in three weeks, we chose to skip the big birthday party and do something small. We went to the zoo with our good friends, drove through a safari park, ate burgers and shakes at Steak 'n Shake, and then walked around Verona. When we got home Connor played with his new toys and then we sang Happy Birthday. He had the biggest smile on his face the entire day because he knew it was his special day. Here are a bunch of pics I took through out the day...

Connor's 3rd Birthday Party

   On Saturday we celebrated Connor's 3rd birthday! We had to celebrate it a couple weeks early because unfortunately Aaron's going to miss his real birthday. I can't believe my baby is almost three {tear}! He has grown so quickly! So many people tell me he already looks like a four year old. 

Connor's 2nd Birthday Party

     Yesterday we celebrated Connor turning two, and boy was it special day for him! It started with my father-in-law surprising us and showing up at our house. Connor loved playing with him while we got ready for his party.

Sharing his chips.

Connor's First Birthday: Part 3

     Photobooth: I have always thought photo booths were adorable at parties and weddings. When I saw a kit at Walmart with everything for less than $5, I knew I had to buy it!

Connor's First Birthday: Part 2

     The Cake: I knew that I wanted to bake Connor's cake and cupcakes from the minute I started planning his party. Originally I wanted to make funfetti cake, but decided not to at the last minute. Instead, my mom made some really good chocolate cupcakes that I iced with butter cream frosting.

Connor's First Birthday Party: Part 1

     On Saturday, we threw Connor his first birthday party at our neighborhood community center. I never realized how much work throwing a party really is. I am so lucky that my mom and aunt were here to help me get ready for it.  It was pretty much perfect! I am going to have to divide this into a few posts because I have so many pictures and don't want to miss anything :)

      Decorations: For a few months now, I knew that I wanted to have a circus themed party. I started planning it as soon as I bought fabric that I used to make several banners, a cake topper, a high chair cover, party hat, and backdrop for the buffet.  This fabric set the theme and colors for the whole party!
