OLIVIA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!

I'm still in denial that my baby is ONE YEARS OLD!!! it feels like I just brought her home from the hospital.

I loved planning and getting everything ready for her little party! We had an owl themed bash and I think everything turned out way cute:D

 Her little owl cupcakes for all the guests

 Jessica and I took off all the labels for the water and slapped out own on.

 Does it sound bad if i'm so proud of how her birthday cake turned out? Cause I am!!!

 Jessica let us have it at her house ( thanks so much cuca)

 With all the hard work we did for the party this little girl zonked out on grandma right before her party

 Livs and Mom. I made her birthday outfit. A tutu and stripped leggings with a cupcake shirt. she looked darling! Although she wasn't quite sure why she had a tutu on!!!

 You can tell by the pictures who she ended up looking like:D I love that she looks like Josh. Haha after everybody left I asked Josh why he didn't even do his hair.... oops look like we were so busy that he forgot he still had bed head!

 We had lots of little party people but I can't figure out how to do a board so I'll post more of them if i ever learn how. (anyone know???)

 all she did was lick the frosting and stick her fingers in and wipe it on her face! it was pretty cute though! I'll post a video later.

 Awww she was still so tired!

Thank you so much everyone who came and celebrated the best year of our lives so far! She LOVES all of the presents that were given.... in fact she's playing with the little people car wash as we speak right now grandma!

We love Olivia so much. This past year of being parents have been amazing. No one can explain how much your going to love a little person so fast. She has us wrapped around her little finger ( josh more than i ;) ) and we couldn't be happier about it! 

VEGGIE MODEL

Well Jessica, I have to say.... I'm pretty sure you knew that this was coming. I mean what did you expect when you pose with all the produce and then fill my camera up with LOTS of pictures of you!!!

For those of you who don't know.... This is Jessica. She is among other things a VERY good fruit and veggie model. I mean who else could make those look so yummy and pretty? NO one.

Her innocent face is just perfect fit for the fruit.

I get joy from this one:)

I mean who else could make her hair freeze like that?

and this one 

APPLE PICKING

We have apple trees up here:D it is one of my favorite things about being up here. The last time they were ready, Jessica and I picked them all on our own. We had SO much fun that this time we got a lot more people willing to come up and help us empty the 3 trees! Jessa and her family and the Bangs came up. We made Taco Soup and headed out to pick the apples.... We had a BLAST!  Apple baseball  was a must this year again.

cute megs

I took the spot of catching Kerry's apples after he picked them and dropped them in the box. He was so fast that if I took my eye off him for one Second I would get smacked in the head with an apple. It felt just the same as having a baseball hit me in the head. I have a feeling he got to much Joy out of it!

Madi was so good to watch Olivia for me... thanks madi!

This girl didn't think i was taking enough photos of her.....

Brave LUKE!!!!

Even suki was trying to help dig up the potatoes:D

Jess.... I have so many photo's of my pregnant veggie model that you get your very own post!!! 

Everyone worked so hard climbing through our weed covered garden to get everything out. THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming up and helping us get the food all picked.... we still have lots more on the trees if anyone wants to come and fill up some buckets!
