How is it possible that she is ONE?

Or for that matter nearly 16 months since we all know that I am posting this nearly four months late!

Her party was so much fun and I had a great time planning and making it as pink as I possibly could. Brooklyn did a good job getting herself pink too! She loves cake about as much as her Mama. At a year she is all smiles, loves to cuddle, and is such a joy. We love more than I ever thought possible. How could I have known how much Mommy, Daddy and Weston would need you in our lives sweet Brooklyn. You bring all of us such joy.

At our family reunion in Las Cruces the weekend before Brooklyn's party, we ran into Super K Mart. After a night of no sleep we realized pretty quick that Brooklyn needed a real pack n play and not the metal cage thing at the hotel. We didn't find a pack n play but I did find the cute "Brooklyn" t-shirt for the bargain price of $9.99. I think it would totally fun to go to New York and load up on Brooklyn T-Shirts. For that matter I might drop by the Westin Hotel and get a few t-shirts to represent my sweet baby boy. Except then it would be spelled wrong and that really bugs me. If you happen to notice the "B" spray painted on the concrete in our backyard I thought it would be a nice touch. I hung butterflies from the ceiling moved furniture and had about 50 wooden pinwheels all throught the inside and outside, paid a ridiculous amount on cupcakes that so weren't my vision of what I wanted and started planning her party right after she was born. So would I really go as far to paint a B that will NOT ever fade or go away? No, I wouldn't go that far. I was spray painting primer on her letters in her room before she was born and for whatever reason thought the primer was clear. It obviously was not clear and a year later it's still there and going strong. I think I might add a "W" to give both kids proper recognition. Oh well it fit the theme of Brooklyn and Butterflies.

Everyone's Turning 30!

Pretty much everyone of our good friends is celebrating the big 3-0 this year. Unfortunately we have missed lots of parties but we did get to go to Austin's. It was baseball games complete with a pretty pink limo! For my 30th Jeremy and I went to Capital Grille and stayed downtown for the night. The next day we got have the couple's spa package. Lots of fun and it was nice to get away with my sweet hubby. I would post pics from that but it seems I am in the same dress that I have been wearing in several other occasions on the blog! It does make me feel better for what I spent on that dress :)

I just have to post pics from Austin's b-day. Pink limo and all!

Guess I should explain about the pink Limo. Jami's good friend Sue (in the white) and her husband have a Pretty Pink Limo company. It was available the night of Austin's party so she us cruise around in it before and after the Astros game. It was so much fun! Most of the time it gets used to take little girls to the Hannah Montana Concert or for birthdays or showers or stuff like that.
