Happy Birthday Ari!

We had Ari's 1st Birthday on Jan 21, 2012. Her actual Birthday was on the 23rd, but I wanted to do it on a weekend. I had a ton of fun planning and preparing... well I think you call that fun...I was actually quite stressed about it! I found this website called www.Karaspartyideas.com they have the cutest parties on there, and I've always aspired to have a party just like that for Ari. The party turned out really cute but not as fabulous as a "Karaspartyideas" party... I do not know how these mothers have the $$ or time to throw parties like that, its nuts! Oh well we had a fun time and Ari loved her cake and presents, that is all that matters right?? Here are a few pics from the party, one of my Besties was kind enough to bring her super nice camera and be my photographer, because heaven knows when you are throwing a party for 50 ppl you do not have time to think about take pictures and chase a 1 year old.

Exciting Things

 I have been a sucky updater! For that I apologize.... We have had lots going on that I need to write about but one big thing I need to tell everyone about is.......



ARI is 1 !! ( you thought I was going to say something else didn't you??)
 Our little Ari is one and I am so excited for her. She is growing up so fast and she is so smart.
 She loves learning to walk she will get up and take a few wobbly steps ever chance she gets, and she is so excited to be able to be doing this cool thing. She has a few toys that help her walk and she always has the biggest smile when she is using them, she just thinks its the coolest thing ever!!
 She babbles all the time and acts like everyone should know exactly what she is saying. She loves her Daddy, and says Dadda? all the time. When we ask her what the puppy says she say "ruh! ruh!". When I ask her what Fergie says she says "grrrr" (Fergie is the little Diva of the house). I still cannot believe my little girl is 1, we are going to have a big celebration for her I can't wait to see her dig into her cake! Here are her 1 yr pics! So stinking cute! I love those big blues eyes!
