Farrah's Rainbow 1st Birthday Party

Farrah turned ONE on Saturday and her birthday party went so well. It was rainbow-themed and I had a blast planning the food and decor for it. Here is how it turned out! {Warning: Picture overload, but I did try to narrow it down!}


The birthday girl wore her rainbow lace petti romper I bought off Etsy before she was even born. I was so glad it still fit!









I of course filled the table with foods full of color - i.e. fruits and veggies...I even made some Fruity Pebbles treats {a nice play on the regular Rice Krispy Treats}.


I free-handed a chalkboard sign for her pretty quickly the night before, using Pinterest images as my inspiration.


And I thought it would be a nice touch to add pictures of her for each month up until one year...


The rainbow made from cupcakes was my favorite part though...



My friend also surprised me by making a rainbow cake of her own...



Farrah enjoyed her smash cake...








It really was a great time and I still have a hard time believing my little baby girl is a year old already.

Weekending

I am so not well-rested after this weekend. It was a great weekend with a lot to celebrate: Farrah turning one and Mother's Day. I had hoped for some pool time, but that didn't happen - maybe next weekend.

Saturday was a bit stressful, I will admit, with getting Farrah's party ready. Luckily I have a wonderful friend that was happy to take the boys for me that morning since Jake was at USCG and unable to help me set up for the party at all. I am so glad it all came together beautifully though and Farrah was so well-behaved the entire time.


Come back tomorrow to view all the details of her rainbow-themed party!

Mother's Day felt pretty much like any normal weekend day - I was cleaning, doing laundry and caring for the kids. Jake again had to do USCG duty, so he wasn't home until the afternoon. He did end up getting me a Fitbit Flex as my gift {I know, weird for Mother's Day, right?} I had one on my wishlist for my birthday last month, so he remembered and got it for this day instead. I think eventually I'll want the one that tracks heart rate too, but this is definitely a neat little gadget.



We went out for a very low-key dinner last night and then stopped by Jake's mom's to deliver her cards and flowers.

Breckin has his Pre-K graduation ceremony tonight. I'm going to try to make a big deal out of it for him...after all, he's now the middle child {and I can relate!} and usually hasn't had anything big going on...usually it's Tanner having things with school or Farrah with all her attention lately as the baby...I definitely want him to feel all the attention is on him for once. He deserves it because he's such a sweetheart and has been so easygoing about anything and everything. He's just a great kid.


I can't believe he starts Kindergarten soon...geez, this is too much at once - my baby girl turned 1 AND I've got a Kindergartner! Not to mention, Tanner hits the double-digits in age this year. Holy moly.

Have a happy week - don't forget to check out the post on Farrah's rainbow birthday party tomorrow!

A Year Ago Today...

I held my little Breckin in my arms for the first time. My baby has grown from an 8 lb 13 oz infant to a 24 lb 1-year old! This year has gone by so fast, but it has been full of wonderful memories I will cherish forever. Here are a few of my favorite photos and videos from over the past year:
