Where Does the Time Go? Ireland is One!

Our sweet baby turned one on August 8th.  We celebrated with a preppy ladybug themed party at Auntie's home in Saratoga.  Highlights of the party include a fabulous chocolate cake, a special serenade from Grandpa, and a spectacular pinata (thanks Grandma & Grandpa).  We felt so loved to have so many family members celebrate with us.

A Party at the Beach

Our Blaire turned three on July 8th.  What better way to celebrate than unlimited carousel rides at the beach, homemade cotton candy, and a fabulous pink cake?  It truly was a wonderful party with lots of dear friends to help us celebrate.

Our sweet neighbor, Eva, made this decadent chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream.  

Love Our New Cotton Candy Machine!

Mommy made these pinwheels.  

It's Great to be Three!

Summer Photo Shoot

Family photos are hard work.  I am a bit obsessed with documenting my babies and so I always have to remind myself that all the stress and investment will be worth it.  While in Utah, we had Julie Burton snap a few family shots, primarily to document our Ireland's first birthday.  She did a great job.  Not easy to manage a frazzled mommy and two tired babies.
