A couple weeks before Em's birthday I saw a post about taking a picture the night before your babies first birthday. I thought it was such a cute idea and luckily remembered to do it. Why oh why do they have to grow so fast?
That night we were also super excited to have Kimber and mom come to visit and stay with us for the weekend. Hallie thought it was pretty cool that her and grandma were matching
We decided to give Em the full princess treatment and shouldn't every princess have a cupcake for breakfast? She wasn't so sure either. We sang and then let her dig in
She seemed to like it though....at least the frosting
Once we got everyone up and ready for the day we set out for a fun day exploring Huntsville with the family. We started at one of my friends Hilary's house. She and her family have a hobby farm that includes chickens, rabbits, cats, dogs, sheep, and yaks.
The kids also loved picking all of their dandelions on their large property
They had some cute baby lambs that the kids really liked feeding their weeds to. They were down on another property eating all of their grass so we took a walk down to visit them.
On the way home we walked past this cool fence made of skis....and of coarse we needed a picture
We also stopped to see the yaks. They were huge and kinda scary looking but it was cool to learn a little about them.
By the time we were done with everything everyone was hot, tired, and hungry. We headed back to the house for some lunch. While the moms were making lunch the kids watched as our excavator fixed one of our window wells that had pulled away from the house due to settling.
After lunch and naps for some of the kids we headed to the lake to play...mostly in the sand and sun. Nic is so great with my girls she always makes sure she takes time to connect with each of them. It helps me out a ton
Gracie loves Lydi and babies in general she was very attentive and helpful with her while Kimber and the kids were here.
Em decided sitting on the blanket wasn't close enough to the water and took matters into her own hands...she was a mess
The kids played in the water a little bit but it was still pretty cool. They spent their time running up and down the beach and splashing
We love this little group. They are all at an age that they do really well together and it makes it so much fun for everyone
Our selfie....and everyone was looking
The rest of Em's birthday was just fun to be together and celebrate this special little girl
Friday was low key. Mom and Kimber went to Salt Lake to get her kids pictures done. We used the day to get ready for the party and let everyone nap. The rest of this story continue
