More Birthday Party Pics!!!

Just another round of party pics from sweet little Penny turning one! :)

Isaak's Birthday Party!

Yesterday we went to Jacksonville to attend Isaak's first birthday party and we had such a great time! Emma and Noah were in heaven with all the kids around to play with and I enjoyed getting to talk to and hang out with friends my age and make new friends! :) I took lots of pictures at the party, here are a few of my favorites! :)

When we first got there, everyone was bustling around, busy cooking, getting all the yummy food prepared. So, Noah and I hung out on the couch with Izey and Miah shared his goldfish crackers with them. They were loving this and making a huge mess!

These two are so stinkin sweet together! I just love it!

How cool are these decorations?!?! Love them!!

Kora is such a beauty...

Lotsa yummy food!

And the outside pictures were by far my favorites!

Love this!!

So sweet....

Sweet Birthday Boy...

We really had an amazing time and we can't wait to do it again!!! There are tons more pictures, these were just some my favorites. Annnd as soon as I post my next decorating blog, I'm going to post a pic of the new Willow Creek figurine Jessica got me for doing these pictures. I still can't believe she got me a gift!!! But I love it!!! I just haven't had a chance to snap a picture of it yet. It was a very busy day today with it being Father's Day and all... :)

Really... It's Not Over

I know it must seem as if I'm breaking up with you... my blog readers, but really, life has just been so overwhelming lately. So sorry. I plan for this to be the end of my blogless stint. I miss writing about my daily doings and reading what you think of them.

Last weekend was Tony's last weekend home and it was super busy.

Friday, we went to Darlington, SC for the engagement party of Maura and Johnny. We got there a bit early and I did a family shoot for Johnny, Maura, their three girls and also a few couple shots of Katelyn and her sweet boyfriend Dustin. It was so beautiful out and so much fun! It's so nice to be around teenage girls that aren't attitudinal and full of drama. They're wonderful. Then, I also shot the whole engagement party. There are hundreds of those pictures, but here are two of my faves..

My handsome boys...

Emma dancing with her Nana...

It was such a great time. However, there was a live band and tons of people we don't know, which together totally freaked Noah out. Then to make it worse, I was all over the place taking thousands of pictures, so Noah clung to his daddy for dear life for the majority of the party. He was finally starting to relax when it was time for us to go. Poor boy, he wouldn't let anyone hold him except Tony and I. It made Tony and I feel special, though. :)

Then, Saturday was Noah's first birthday party. His actual birthday was Friday, but that was an extremely busy day, so we had his party Saturday. Of course, we did a luau theme and we found a lady who was willing to make us a first birthday luau themed cake! It came out awesome!!!

And this is Noah's cake for him to smash! She told me it was just going to be a cupcake, but then when we picked it up, it was this big cake!

My precious birthday boy!I did the party favors as beach buckets full of candy, bubbles, balls, silly straws, and play-doh.

Noah and Tony matched! Love it!

Johnny and Maura brought the bounce house!

Here are my cool margarita glasses... yes, the mommies had strawberry margaritas! :)
Noah feeding Emma the icing off his fingers. So sweet!

He was so full of sugary goodness!

Me and my sister lovin on our daddy

Me and the love

It was such a great weekend and a great month we had together as a family. Sunday night, we went over to have dinner with Collins, Alison, Garrett, and Jack and I was so mad with myself, I completely forgot my camera on the counter at home! ugh! But they are so awesome! We cooked out steaks and they had this humongous steak for Tony since it was his last day home. It was as big as all the other steaks put together. I still can't believe I didn't get a picture of that thing!

Sorry I've been so MIA lately, though, hopefully it won't happen again anytime soon. :)

Now I'm off to try to catch up on the tons of blogs that I know I've missed reading over the past month or so!
