The Happiest of Happy Hours - Mayer is 1!

Today my youngest love, Mayer, is ONE! 

I am so blessed to be able to share in my niece and nephews daily lives and be loved so much by them. We had such a great time celebrating Mayer on Sunday at a Happy Hour birthday party.

You might think it's weird to call a 1-year-old's party a 'happy hour' but {as Patty put in the invitation} his favorite things are boobs, bottles and snacks. Sounds like a happy hour!

And now on to picture overload!

All the cuteness! And sweet tea sangria!!

Babs and her girls

This picture cracks me up, Drew looks like she is crawling up my dad.

The 2 crazies ready to sing to the birthday boy!

 Happy birthday, Mayer David!

Oooh, this is soft. I like it.

Oooh, it tastes pretty amazing too.

What? Do I have something on my face?

Got any more?

But, Mom, I was saving that icing for later!

The big fail of the party was my inability to take a family picture of either my sister's family or my own. But the kids had fun, Trent was moderately well-behaved, so we'll call it a success!

Happy birthday, Mayer! Aunt Allena loves you!! xoxo

{Busy} Weekend Recap

We had a very busy and very fun weekend! I love busy weekends because I think it keeps us from getting bored and irritable. Am I the only one who can get annoyed being home too much on the weekend? {grin}

We started Saturday by inviting Bumblebee to breakfast.

Don't tell Brother, he still doesn't know! #littlesisterlikesbrotherstoys

Drew and I started a 'Parent-Child' swim class at a local YMCA. Our friends Dez {and Foster} and Susie {and Reid} are doing the class as well. True to form, Drew LOVED being in the water. She splashed and splashed and got everyone really wet. That girl is our water bug for sure.

Mamas and babies

Saturday afternoon we went to a Frozen themed birthday party. I had a stroke of genius when I remembered my *FMIL had bought the kids snowman shirts at Christmastime.

Me with Olaf and baby Olaf

Baby Olaf was worn out! {And loves herself a clutch to carry around}

Today was Mayer's first birthday party. Another year that went by too fast. I took a ton of pictures as official photographer {of course none of my family or my sister's family}. The party deserves its own post, but I decided to share my favorite picture of the party.

Don't even think about taking some of my cake.
