The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Today we celebrated Ren's first birthday with a Very Hungry Caterpillar party!

Smash cake!

Happy Birthday Ren!!

Today my baby is ONE YEAR OLD!  I don't understand how 365 days could have flown by so fast.

Just for fun...a monthly recap:

Lily's birthday

Ren was invited to his first little friend's birthday party.  Our sweet friend from church/small group, Lily, turned one this past week and celebrated her birthday today with a very pink party!  Too bad Ren wasn't old enough for cake.

Happy Birthday Lily!!

J turns 30!

On 12-12-12 my man turned 30!  Now I can say that I am not longer older than him because we are finally BOTH thirty.  We had a big dinner at the Parks' house to celebrate the occasion.
Lorelai did not have such a great evening because somehow she got left outside alone in the rain while we ate dinner.

 J got a new rain jacket.  The first one his mom bought was too small but she didn't realize that until she got home.  She forgot to take the original jacket back so just bought a second one with plans of returning the too small one.  Come to find out it was just the right size for Jeremy so he got an early Christmas present.

 Happy Birthday my love!

Happy Birthday Sister!

Through the years

You only turn 30 once right?  So I might as well celebrate on the blog one more day with a trip down birthday-memory lane.

My mom found all of these old pictures of me on several of my birthdays growing up and I though I would share them with y'all.

And then we have what my mom calls the "lost years."  She couldn't find any birthday pictures from years 9-16.  Her picture drawer was just too huge, but she knows there in there somewhere.
