Our little man turned o.n.e -- so we had a party. I decided to go with a vintage/airplane theme. Our families are amazing & helped us create & celebrate his birthday even though Mother Nature had other plans. It is funny though, the rain dropped the temp down to bearable & all the little boys LOVED the water, mud, trucks, and planes! :)

It is true what they say… don’t blink because the first year of your child’s life goes by in the blink of an eye. How in the world is it time already for you to be o.n.e my little boy? You made me a mommy and I love watching you each day. Watching you learn, grow, laugh, love, and be the sweet little boy with a side of spunk that God made you to be. I love how each day someone compliments your amazing, crazy hair. I love your ticklish, squeezable, thighs. I love when you puff out your chest and talk to us with that intense look on your face. I love how sweet you are in the morning with your hugs and kisses. I love your laugh. Man, do you have an incredible laugh. I just love everything about you little man, and feel blessed your daddy and I get to be your parents. Here’s to Jude Dude – he is ONE today!

Oh sweet Brandi My cousin Brandi is preparing to bring a beautiful baby girl into the world. We celebrated the both of them (& Ryan too) today at her shower. I can't get over how talented the people in my family (and extended family) are. My Aunt Melinda deserves an award for this adorable shower she created! In the above picture is Brandi in her Mom's chair (that she also sat in during her baby shower) -- We brought in a few of our pieces to accent this awesome chair. Thanks for letting honeydew vintage be apart of the event. We love you B. [and cannot wait to meet baby Eden!]
I've been a planning kind of person for as along as I can remember. Just recently, I've learned to let go and trust that there is a bigger picture and no matter how much I think I am in control, I'm really not. Some days I come to terms with this quite easily... other days, well, I don't.
Sunday, we had family and friends come over to help us celebrate the gender reveal of baby number 2. The weather held off, and it turned out to be a great day full of excitement and surprises. One surprise was that my bestfriends came the whole way from Texas. I haven't seen the Mahaffey's since last summer when Jude was about a month old. I was confused at first, but quickly got it together and realized it was real life! :) The second surprise is after 3 boys on my side of the family and 5 boys and 1 girl on Gabe's side -- we were shocked and excited to learn that Jude was getting a baby SISTER! Arlynn Grace Bowley - is due to arrive on 9/14/16. ..MORE CHANGE Time to start planning on reorganizing our house, loving on my baby boy [while he is the only child], and preparing for Miss Arlynn. We're so thankful and so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends in our lives. THANK YOU for all of the congrats! :) |
