Apple Picking

The company my Sweet Husband works for has a social group for the wives of the employees,

they do different things every so often.

A few weeks ago we went apple picking!

It was our first outing with them and it was a lot of fun!

Sweet Girl loved picking up the apples from off of the ground... lol,

some of the kids really loved picking the apples and would just leave them on the ground,

Sweet Girl thought that was great and would pick them up and put them in our bag!

She is so social, so it is fun to get out and get her around kids her own age! She loves it!

We made some yummy apple pies with the apples we picked!

Seven Years!

Lucky number Seven for us!

The beautiful flowers my Sweet Husband surprised me with!

 From this

to this, I'd say we're super blessed, even if my Sweet Husband says were getting old...lol.

For our anniversary we got a real babysitter!

As we were pulling away from our house to go to dinner my Sweet Husband said he feels like a real parent, leaving his baby with a babysitter. We both laughed. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and went on a walk at the park. It was a great evening with my Sweet Husband! I'm such a lucky girl!

Birthday Girl!

I hit a slump where I couldn't figure out what I needed to blog about.

So I looked to see what I had last blogged about and I'm not sure how I did it,

but I forgot to blog about Sweet Girl's Birthday!

I love birthdays!

 I didn't feel like throwing a huge party since she won't remember it (no judgment, I'm just lazy),

so we decided to do things that we all like!

Sweet Girl LOVES water! And she loves the boat.

So we decided to go to the lake on her birthday, we had planned to go two days but it was SUPER windy the first day. So we ended up just playing in the water that day. 

Her actual birthday was a gorgeous day! 

 Mommy and Daddy showing off... lol

 Switch!

 Ta Da!

  After the lake we had a family party.

 No birthday is complete without CAKE!

Sweet Girl LOVES raspberries,

so I thought it was fitting to make her chocolate raspberry birthday cake.

This is the cake that everyone ate

 And this is Sweet Girl's personal cake.

It is tradition on both sides of our family for the one year old to get their own cake.

She LOVED it! She first picked off the raspberries one by one and then started out slowly but gained speed once she realized there were raspberries inside the cake too!

Both cakes were had two layers with raspberries and frosting in between.

 Starting to eat

 After the cake she went straight to her bath.

Then it was bedtime.

I think she had a great birthday!

She got to share it with both sets of grandparents, some aunts and uncles, great great aunts and uncles, and mommy and daddy,

I think that makes it a great day in her book!

I know it does in mine!

That weekend my sister took a few family pictures for us. 

I love how they turned out for impromptu family pictures (aka didn't really plan what we wore) 

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

We love you!

Fire Station

We went to visit my parents last weekend.

We met my mom at my dad's fire station, so she could take Sweet Girl to their house and we could go to the temple. It was a beautiful session and we had a great time.

Sweet Girl had a great time at Grandpa's fire station!

She especially LOVED the big trucks!

She thought it was pretty cool that Grandpa let her sit in his seat and pretend to drive the trucks!

 (I love this picture)

 She also thought it was pretty neat that you could see yourself in parts of the truck!

 It was a great weekend, we even got to do a little yard work!

AND I got to see one of my best friends and meet her new baby!

I love when it works out that we are both in town at the same time!

Her little girl is a cutie!
