Riley's First Birthday Part 1: Saturday


Happy Wednesday!  Today I am writing about Riley's First Birthday! Riley celebrated twice this year, because my dad had surgery and was unable to travel down to our home for his birthday party! Instead of posting about the entire weekend I am going to split it up between two days, Saturday and Sunday! Saturday was a party for our neighbors and friends, that we work, with to attend and it was so much fun hosting a party at our home! We grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, and ribs and had chips and other things that go well with a cookout like beans and coleslaw and all that fun stuff! After that we opened gifts and then it was time for cake! I didn't start taking pictures until it was time to open gifts, since I was busy running around hosting! 
Scott helped Riley open his gifts this time. I helped Charlotte with her first birthday so I thought it was super special that he helped his little boy on his first birthday!

Riley got the best gifts! We are truly blessed to have such amazing friends around us




Riley loved opening up his presents. He thought they were the coolest


All of the kids kept gathering around playing with the various toys! Scott was like woah and I captured it perfectly! It was the best :)

His cupcake for the day! My mom made both his smash cake and his cake for his birthday for Sunday so we just did a little cupcake for him and we made a cake ourselves for the rest of the guests. Plus I bought a few cupcakes for all of the kids running around, since I know kids love cupcakes so much!

The 12 year old made the cake, and the 16 year old frosted and decorated it! I had lots of errands to run so having them be able to help out and contribute was such a blessing! Plus it was yummy! 

Riley has never had cake before, so he was all for it


He wasn't sure at first

Until I smashed his face into it(not very hard though, just a slight push to break up the cake), then he was all in! 


He ate the entire cupcake! Everyone was like wait what?!? It was so funny

He definitely got a bath after his cake! After cake the kids just ran around and played while we talked with our friends. Then it was bath time and bed time for the babies! The party was at 3 and our last guest left at 7:30 which is when bed time is so the babies went to bed at the perfect time!

Once the babies were in bed I took pictures of the decorations.

We didn't go quite as crazy this year, just because we had a lot to do and nothing is close to our house so its a chore to go back and forth. It's an hour to the nearest Party City so I made one trip and hoped I didn't forget anything


We were so blessed to be surrounded by people that love our little guy as much as we do! We were so excited to have everyone over and I cannot wait for our next party! 
Have a great day! See you back here tomorrow for Part 2 of Riley's first birthday!
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday Ya'll!  I am so glad it is Friday! It has been. rough week for this momma, the kiddos have been loud and crazy but have been so good this week but everything else is just super crazy haha!  Today I am linking up for Friday Favorites with Narci , Andrea and Erika !  So here are some random favorites that happened this week! Cuddles with this sweet boy have been a favorite this week! I have been having on and off contractions and lots of pain so I have been bed ridden for a good portion of the week and this little has hung out with me and watched cartoons! Cuddles are definitely a favorite!    Trying to let this boy in the house more and more since its been chilly outside.  While the training process has been rough, he has started to snooze in the afternoons and those are definitely a favorite!  Breakfast conversations with these two are a favorite from this week! It is always non-stop with these t...

2019 Year In Review: Part 3

Hello!  It is such a hard time in the world right now. It has been a couple months since I last wrote, life has been busy, but while everyone is social distancing, staying home, and doing our part to get rid of this nasty virus I wanted to post some memories of last year to remember. October-December of 2019 were packed full of activities, and just going through the pictures is exhausting, so I have no idea how I even kept up! Grab a drink, and cozy up and I hope you enjoy! October  October started out with birthday naps. All three kiddos are in the same room, and I was laying on the bed with Skyler and we all napped and was just what this momma needed for her birthday!  Hubby brought me the most beautiful flowers for my day and we got booed, by a mystery neighbor Naps were had, especially in mommy's arms  and all of the kindergarten crafts occurred. We painted a pumpkin after her favorite book character Ferdinand.  Quick f...

Show and Tell Tuesday: Prom night!

Happy Tuesday! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday, and today we are talking all about Prom! Here are a few facts first before all the pictures of itty bitty high school me! 1) I dated the same boy from freshman year of high school until senior year of high school so he was my date for his junior and senior prom which was my sophomore year and junior year. 2) I went with my best friend my senior year. I had a good time, but missed my boyfriend pretty much the whole time. 3) I went all out for my first prom sophomore year, with my hair, nails and prom dress and then again my senior year. 4) I only participated in senior skip day, which really isn't a thing but seniors do it anyways at my high school, my senior year. My best friend and I met super early on the day of Prom for breakfast and coffee and then just spent the rest of the day together doing random things like shopping, then getting our nails done with one of our other friends, and then ...
