Happy Birthday Mom!!

My mom turned another year older and she looks amazing. We did a small dinner over here at our house for her this evening. I made enchiladas which turned out great, we had Spanish rice and a salad. I also made a boxed cake, I figured that meant more than just buying one. Everything turned out great and I'm very thankful for my family. I just want to say Happy Birthday and thank you for being the mother you are. You are so wonderful and I love everything about you. If I had to pick a few of my favorite things about you they would be your strength, your fun-ness, your givingness, your beauty and your love. You are and have always been my rock and I love you more than you will ever know. Thanks for all you do and I hope I look half as good as you do when I'm your age. Your so beautiful inside and out.

Family Pictures

My baby is so handsome, I love this picture of Kade

Last Thursday we met with a lovely lady named Jessica to take our pictures and I must say I am very happy with them. Our original intention was to just get Kade's 2 year old pictures done which I hope I can keep the tradition of doing every year, but we figured why not get a couple family one's done while we were at it. Jessica had the great idea of doing it out at Kirby Orchard and it was a great idea indeed. I want to add how great she was with Kade and we loved her personality so much, so if your looking let me know, she is wonderful. It's been a long time since I met such a sweet and genuine person and I'm happy we had the pleasure of working with her. I hope to take more pictures with her in the future. Thanks Jessica for your work, your so wonderful.

Birthday Party!

I know this is the third post about Kade's birthday, but it was just that way this year. We wanted to make sure he knows how special he is and we couldn't think of a better way then celebrating his 2nd year of life. He loved his birthday this year. First off I want to start by thanking my mother-in-law for helping me get his party ready and also for letting us have it at their house. We love you so much and I don't know if I could have done it without her. Also thank you to everyone that came and for all the great gifts you got in thinking of our baby. We love you Kade and I hope I documented this enough so you can look back and the fun times we always shared together. We had a spongebob come to do magic and had a face painter on the side that the kids loved. Kade got so many gifts, but his most favorite gift was from me and Jared and that was his Kawi. He was so pumped and I cried when I walked him over to it because we had it hidden in our garage for at least a month and that is all he had been saying he wanted for his birthday so of course I teared up when it was time to give it to him. All in all it was a day we won't forget and I am so thankful for all our friends and family. We love everyone so much. Thank you for celebrating Kade with us.

This is Kade's face above while we were singing happy birthday to him. You could tell he felt so special.

Birthday Pictures

Kade's Birthday was on a Wednesday this year and even though we had a big party planned for the following Saturday, I still had to do something for my little man. We had close family over for tacos, cake and some gifts he could open. My mom however wasn't able to be there because she was in Mexico with her mom so we missed her very much.

My baby was so funny, he loved it when we sang happy birthday to him that he made us sing it to him twice, it was the cutest thing.

Jared's parents got Kade a bike, and boy was he pumped. My baby is getting so big!


Thank you everyone for the gifts and the help in preparing food. We love our family and friends so much and we don't know how we would do it without each and every one of you.
