JAYLEE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO!!
Few weeks old
ONE YEAR OLD.. 



DECORATIONS, CAKE, BALLOONS + WIND=
MOM IN TEARS  :(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYLEE!
We had Jaylee's first birthday on Saturday and the Wind decided to take over. I have been planning this party for about 2 mo now and had so many cute decorations, ideas of what I wanted it to look like and had the cake picked out to be made and all.. 
What could be worse than wind???? Nothing.
 It ruined all that I had planned. 
Couldn't set up decorations...........
Pizza, table cloths, paper lanterns, bowls, plates and more all blew away.........
CAKE TIPPED OVER............... thats when I lost it. 
Yep, Mom in tears and Jaylee still just loving life. I think the party was more for me than her but I think all us moms do that. (At least I hope I'm not the only one)
Kinda funny now, but oh was I mad. Jaylee enjoyed her birthday and I can't thank everyone in our family enough for coming and supporting Jaylee. Even though I thought it was ruined, we still had a blast. 

HOME-MADE SUGAR COOKIES. 

HER CAKE RIGHT WHEN IT FELL OVER. 

EVEN WORSE!! IT WAS CUTE I PROMISE
ALL THE BALLOONS THAT I COULDN'T PUT WHERE I WANTED THEM CUZ THEY WERE JUST BLOWING AWAY!
HER SMASH CAKE THAT WAS BACKWARDS.
SERIOUSLY...
HOW THE LADY DECORATING IT DIDN'T NOTICE I DON'T KNOW. 
JAYLEE'S EXCITED FACE. SHE LOVED ALL HER PRESENTS, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE FROM UNCLE TJ AND AUNT LINDSEY!!!
OH WOW!! AS JAYLEE SAYS.. SHE LOVED THIS ONE TO. 
SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!
AND NOW TIME FOR HER TO DELV IN TO HER CAKE. 
FIRST TASTE........... QUITE LIKED IT!!
UMMMMM!!! I REALLY LIKE IT
OH YEAH........ THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!
NOW WHAT DO I DO?
OK GUYS....... I THINK I'M DONE NOW. 
PIN THE NOSE ON THE CLOWN. THE KIDS LOVED IT!
THIS BIB WAS FOR JAYLEE BUT SHE DIDN'T NEED IT AS MUCH AS UNCLE TJ DID!
AUNT TAMLYN HAD IT SPECIALLY MADE FOR HER. 
After all the partying was over we spent time w Nolans family and went swimming. It was a perfect day for Father's Day and we had so much fun. 
Thanks everyone for a great weekend. 

Giada, Jaylee and Nixon.. 

Totally matching. If they weren't cousins, we'd let them date. Instead, we just dress them alike. 
Jaylee pulling some weird face and Nixon stuffing his face. 
Me and my BIG 1 yr old in her birthday swimsuit. 

POPSICLES EVERYONE????
Nixon was definitely enjoying his. I think he ate 10 of them. 
Isn't this the right end?? Ummm. Tastes so good. 
Cute Little Leah. Always so sweet and innocent. 
Me and Jaylee w her Aunt Jennie and boys. Isn't Jennie a HOT LITTLE MAMMA!
THE SANDERS CLAN
 minus 
the guys who went golfing for Fathers Day!!
Jaylee has an obsession w putting her fingers in my mouth. For some reason she loves it. 
And after all that, she was tuckered right out. Slept for 3 hours. 
I am so blessed to have such a sweet little girl. I can't believe how fast she has grown up. I LOVE being her mom and hope I can only be the best mom to her and raise her the right way. 
I love you Jaylee Joy!!

Girls Weekend In Minnesota!!


Nothing like a girls weekend and a little "Time Away". We all need it and I think I was due for this trip. I was so scared to leave Jaylee for the first time. I think I thought she was gonna die w out me but then I realized it was me that might die w out her. 
Weird I know..  BUT......Both her and I somehow survived and I enjoyed being w my girlies for a few days. 
Jalene, Slow Mo (Debra Galindo), and I left on Thursday to go and see our friend Deb in Minnesota. Deb got us a great hotel room downtown and here are a few pics of the things we did. 


We went on a walk that was so Beautiful. I dont think I've ever "Enjoyed" a walk as much as this one. Thanks Deb for the tour. 
A boat ride on the Mississippi River. 

Went out to lunch at some cute little place on the street.
 A great view and great food to. 
MALL OF AMERICA BABY!!!
This is when we first got there ready to shop and SHOP WE DID...

11 HOURS LATER!!!
We got there when it opened and didn't leave until they full on shut the doors on us. We were still shoping when they pulled the door down waiting for us to leave. We had a blast. 
Hell's Kitchten.. I was so excited to go here after watching a few shows w "Chef Ramsey" He makes you think this food is to die for.. UM....... Not so much.. I wouldn't recommend it but it was the company that was a hit!
AND THIS IS WHAT I CAME HOME TO...
 AHHHHH my happy little girl. 
I can't believe how much I missed her. She was so excited to see me to. I loved it. 
Of course I missed my sweet husband to but theres something about coming home to your little girl.  Food on her face and all!
