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...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
