I have been wanting to put this on the blog for a while. Well since September. Finally doing it, maybe if we are lucky we will get Halloween on before Christmas. After school started we got to spend a weekend in Park City with Nathan's Brother and had a blast with their family. I wish I could find the pictures for the proof of what we did, but I can't and I am wondering if some little cute one year old wandered of with one of the secure digital cards. So I will have to skip that post and go to this one.
Our Kayla Jean's First Birthday
I love birthday parties I love planning them especially first birthdays I think I planned this one for at least 5 months in my head and it was so fun. Nothing huge just dinner with family but everything I wanted it to be.
I just used Kayla's nickname for the theme which is Jellybean's for the mere fact that, that is what her big brother wanted to name her when I was pregnant. Elise wanted escargot, for her love of snails. Luckily Jellybeans rhymed and thus we have an awesome nickname, now it has become more like Baby Beans or all sorts of variations. So I went with Jellybeans and the rainbow colors they come in. Enjoy some of the photos and the fun I had putting it all together. For some even better photos see Jess's blog she is AMAZING and I was lucky enough for her to bring her camera and take some photos for me.
Cake, decor, take homes, and invitations!
The best part! Enjoying the cake. She was pretty dainty at first but then got a few fist fulls in. She even wanted to share!
I can't believe she is one. She started walking the day after her birthday we bribed her with Jellybeans from one end of the kitchen to the other. I still remember thinking when I was pregnant that she would never come. She was enjoying her Grandmas in heaven a little to much. Kayla keeps us laughing and on our toes. She has a fantastic personality and she isn't afraid to let you know what she wants. I still love those blue eyes and blonde hair, but am surprise that she has them. You have changed me in so many ways for the better and am loving learning how to be a mom to a baby again and to have THREE kids. Kayla we love you and our family wouldn't be the same with out you! Happy Birthday Beans!
