31st birthday!

My birthday was great this year! I love being able to spend the day with our nuggie!! We went for a run, shopped, met daddy for lunch, and took a nap :) all my favorite things!
 


The weekend before Andrew and I went out for a early birthday celebration at Shensei!! Delish! Some of the best sushi I've had in a long time. Andrew will eat sushi but it's not his fav so we don't eat it all that often. When my birthday comes around I feel like it's all we eat (because I choose all the places we go that week! Of course!) I highly recommend Shensei to any sushi, Asian cuisine lover! 


We also had a fun night out with some of my best frjends. Love this group of girls!! We play multiple times during the week and they often save my sanity when I'm needing to just get out of our house and find something to do. We all live within blocks of each other so it's been so fun to just be able to pick and up walk to places with them! 

So that makes um...dinner nĂºmero dos for my birthday. The 3rd was our traditional morgan clan dinner. Henry takes the whole morgan clan out for dinner every birthday. It's always so much fun! And even a little more relaxing sans baby. We had our first non-grandpa babysitter that night. Grandpa babysits once a weekend for us so we can get out and have date nights or go out with frjends-it's a huge blessing and keeps us connected! We cherish these times and are so thankful he does this for us! No pic of family dinner but sweet little cousin Claire was looking so sweet that night-I wish I had a pic of her sweet face in her pretty little pink coat :)

Other than that we have just been up to our usual--wanting to climb in the washer and dryer...

Playgrounds all the time (while thinking daddy is a horse and pulling on his glasses)...



And just hanging out...

I have a blast with this busy little nugget :)

One Year Party!

Oh goodness!
 
It came and went so fast. Like they say, days can be long but the years are fast.
We celebrated our sweet baby girl this weekend and I want to burst with happiness!
It was the most fun and I enjoyed every. single. minute.
She most certainly had a blast too! From playing with some of her favorite friends and digging into the cake (Seriously) to being covered in dirt! It was perfect.
 
I cant even begin to explain the joy she brings to our life.
We catch ourselves everyday saying...gosh I love her more than I ever imagined.
We had friends and some family over for the big day. The house was filled with about 10 kiddies and their parents. It was just like a big, fun play date. 
Our party was all about ice cream--sundaes, ice cream cupcakes, ice cream rice krispie treats! What more can you want on a hot summers day?
Cold and yummy!
 A little preparty before our friends and family were here

Deedee and madds!

 Our big 1 year old!

We had lots of fun getting ready for everyone.
Balloons, ball pit, water table, croquet for kids (balls and noodles), bubbles, chalk.
It was so much fun playing!

M cups, smash cake, ice cream! All sorts of deliciousness

Maddie and her man before the party.

Doesn't get much sweeter
