Rylie's First Birthday

A year ago from yesterday, we were blessed to have sweet little Rylie Jane join this crazy family.  I can't believe it's already been a year.



Everyday, she grows more and more and not just in size, but also personality and beauty and intelligence.  She's our little miracle.



Yesterday was her very first birthday and it was bittersweet.  I'm really excited for her to grow but I also would like to keep her my little baby forever.

Yesterday, Ben and Sydney helped me make her birthday cakes.  It was a lot of fun, and the cakes turned out great.  Can you tell the kids were on sprinkle duty?



Last night, I ordered a few pizzas, Torren, Shawn's Parents, Terry, Morgan and the girls came over, and we ate, opened presents, and had cake and ice cream.  It was a wonderful evening.

Also, because it was Valentine's Day, valentines and candy were exchanged.  Lots of kids with sugar highs here.




After presents came cake time!

Rylie did not like getting dirty and I don't think she was a fan of the frosting.  She loved the ice cream though.



How do you clean this up?  They need to be cleaned up just to get in the bath!


Yup, cake in the bathtub...  Kinda looks like poo.

After most of the company left, I put together Rylie's new garden.  It took quite a while, but it's really cool, and all of the kids like it.





I think we had a wonderful evening and a great way to celebrate little Rylie's birthday.  Tomorrow, we have another birthday party for sweet Rylie with the whole family.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
