Throwback Thursday: Riley's First Birthday Part Two edition


Happy Thursday! Today I am doing at Throwback Thursday Post: Riley's First Birthday Part Two edition. 
Back in October I was talking about Riley's First Birthday celebration weekend. With my dad having hip surgery he was unable to travel so Riley had a unique twist on his birthday and we celebrated with neighbors and friends at our house on the Saturday before his birthday and on his birthday we drove up to Mimi's house and celebrated with family up there! It was a long weekend full of cake, presents, and love for our sweet one year old boy! 
Sorry this is so late, but sometimes life happens so today we are going to recap and reflect on celebrating our baby boy! 
Join me! 


Our day started incredibly early, we were packed in the car with all of our stuffed animals, favorite blankets, pj's, milk and breakfast at 7 am. 

By about 11 this girl was decked out in her sunglasses and more toys

And hubs and I were wired from our third cup of coffee.

It is a four and a half hour drive up to Mimi's from where we live and normally the kiddos do wonderfully, some days they have issues but generally they do very well. On the way up they were great. They played with all their toys, ate breakfast and just snoozed the whole time. 

This boy was excited about being able to run around. After outfit and diaper  changes it was running around and eating lunch. Scott and I left the kiddos with Mimi and Grandpa for a quick run to the store to grab some supplies and to get the balloons since I was not transporting balloons four and a half hours with us. So we ran some quick errands and came back right in time for our guests to arrive

Chicken fingers, sandwiches, chips, fruit, veggies, cheese, you name it, we had it!


He was so happy about lunch time he wanted to shout at everyone.

Decorations



And his birthday cake and smash cake, both made my Mimi :) 

Playing with toys and climbing on daddy was next after eating some yummy food.


This tie did not last long, but it is okay because we got the picture before he removed it





Then it was time for cake. He was so confused

But it did not take him long before he dug in. He was not hesitant at all about the cake like his big sister was when she turned one.



He was so exicted




Messy boy! 

Will tried feeding him with a spoon and he did not want it. 

After a quick bath to clean up, we did presents and then had to leave. It was sad having to leave so early but Scott had to be at work on Monday and we had a doctor's appointment for his one year check up early on Monday morning. We had such a wonderful time celebrating our baby boy turning one with our family, we wish we could have stayed longer :) 
This little boy is so loved and I am thankful to have such a wonderful family to have around the babies! 

Thanks for stopping by today! It was a long post but a good happy post! 
Have a great day!

Show and Tell Tuesday! House Tour 2016

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday! Today it is House Tour! I have always loved these posts, but have never participated in one because of the fact that we were in a two bedroom apartment, which was tiny for our family of four. This past April we bought our home and moved in and three months later we are finally here at this post and I am so excited to join along and invite you all into our home! It is still a work in progress and none of the walls have been re-painted but I am loving all the grey tones for now, it keeps the home neutral and cool until I feel like spicing things up! Come on in!  We are still decorated from Fourth of July, but here is the front entrance.  When you walk into our home this is the first thing you see. There is a hallway to the left of the staircase, and to the right is the dining room. This is our formal dining room! I need to do an updated tour of this room but for now I b...

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...
