Layla had her first birthday party yesterday and it was a wonderful success!

Here are some photos of all the fun:

She's getting so big!

Candy Bar and Favor Station - gummy bears, jelly beans, M&Ms, runts, gobstoppers, silly straws, stackable crayons, rainbow play dough, coloring books, stickers, toothbrushes, rainbow gum, and candy buttons!)

Rainbow marshmallow treats.

Red, Blue, and Yellow Sprite - make your own color (but watch your teeth, that's some serious food coloring!)

Color Wall Before...

And After... This was so much fun.

The most colorful food table we've every had. 

Rainbow Fruity Tray.

And Rainbow Veggie Tray.

Summer Fun!

Summer 2012 has been wonderful thus far!  

I started going to both Kidventure  ("KV") summer day camp at St. Patrick's school and twice weekly dance camp.  I get to do crafts, talent shows, eat snacks, play outside, tap dance, perfect my ballet skills, and best of all - make a ton of new friends!!!

Layla has been learning new things every day.  

She now has her two bottom teeth, eats regular food, sits up all by herself, babbles away, and "crawls" all around the house.

We are having a great time and wanted to share some photos of our adventures. 

Enjoy!

Layla taking a swim in Grandma Shea and Grandpa Steve's pool.

Zoe and Caci - love at first sight.

Bath time in the kitchen sink - Layla's almost too big for this!

Me at the park - Daddy is awesome at planning super fun outings.

Me swimming in the pool - I absolutely love swimming.

Uncle Zane and I keeping law and order.

Grandpa Steve even has a water slide - I am fearless!!!

Mommy's Aunt Sandy gave her and Daddy this idea. The thought is that this picture  will be neat to look back on when I get married some day.  This is my mom's wedding dress.

Mommy and I walking around downtown Dallas - Daddy was practicing his photography skills.

Grandma Kookaburra - recognize this expression?

Such a happy baby!

Daddy, Surprise!!!

SURPRISE!!!

A couple of weeks ago Daddy hit the big 3-0!  Mom, Layla, and I had a surprise party for the old man.  We even flew in Daddy's best friends, Jonathan and Elisa and their baby Cara from California.  It was all 1980's themed and lots of fun.  Check out our photos.

Mom's favorite photo from the event - Greg and Denisa came fully decked out!

Daddy's Tron cake.  

The baker's originally wrote "Happy 30th Birthday Jesus!"  

Mom had to think pretty hard about whether to get it fixed or just add a comma and more exclamation points...

Our great friends, Jeff and Terri - Love the 1980's digs.

Me, removing my authentic 1980's tee shirt clip.

Mom in her Pac-Man shirt and 1980's earrings (look familiar YaYa?).

Daddy coming in with Jonathan.  They went to the gun range before hand and were showing off their mad skills.

Razzles - one of my new favorite candies (a candy and a gum all in one!)

Blowing out the candles with the old man.

Just a sampling of the 1980's posters all around the house.

It's Bluebonnet Time!
