A Not So Good Photography Session

This is our favorite place to take Georgia Kate to take pictures. It is Loch Haven Park. It is not far from College Park and it is just a great place for GK to run around in hopes that we can get some good pictures of her. There is the big tree that has branches that are really low to the ground and I am sure that one day we will have adorable pictures of her climbing all over them. We were trying to get some good shots to use for Mother's Day gifts. Needless to say we didn't get ANY good shots and had to resort back to some previous pictures we had taken. We had a good time trying to get the pictures and I am sure it will be a while until we get a "great" photo of GK. We will have motion shots for a while I am afraid!

LOVE this little girl

I am not sure I will ever be able to get a good picture of Georgia Kate for a while. She is constantly on the go!

Epcot~ Flower and Garden Festival

Last weekend Robert and I took Georgia Kate to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. We had a blast and Georgia Kate really enjoyed herself. When we go to Disney these days we go with the attitude that we are on Georgia Kate's schedule. So, with that said we stop when she wants to stop and we play when she wants to play. This past time we went to Epcot and saw all the fabulous flowers. It is my favorite time of the year to go to Disney. This year they had several kiddie playgrounds that were fabulous. She had so much fun and played and played and played.

I thought this picture was beautiful! They had arrangements like this all over the place.

A Girl and her Daddy!

I love this picture

She loves her daddy's shoulders

She's pooped after a long day. This is when Robert and I get to sit down and enjoy the scenery.

She's A Mess

Ok...so GK LOVES playing outside. I really like it to because she will play and play and never gets tired of it. I can't wait for the summertime. We are going to have a blast at the pool and the park with snocones or icees! Oh....so much fun to be had.

Today GK had on an outfit that I adore. My sweet cousin Casey gave it to her for her first birthday. It is so precious on her and we think of our beautiful, sweet Addison when we put it on her. We went to Robert's cousins softball game this afternoon and Georgia Kate had a blast. She was best friends with everyone there by the end of the game and pitched a fit when we had to leave. She played and played with all the other kids that were there. She kept stealing the bag of goldfish from one of the little boys and I think that he really didn't like her. GK started her day off pretty nice and neat and looked like a doll. As you can tell through the picctures she got a little dirty. I love it though...she had fun, I had fun, and then we got to play in the bathtub when we got home. Cheers to a good day in Otown.

Life is Good!

Georgia Kate is getting to be so much fun! I LOVE her so much and hate it when she goes to bed at night I get kinda sad. We really have a good time in the afternoons when I get home from school. Here are few pics from the other day when she was an absolute doll. She plays so hard during the day that when it is bed time she walks to her bed and reaches for me to put her in. What a dream come true! We have come full circle from this time last year. Robert and I were pretty sure we would NEVER have another one! I think she has kinda changed our minds now!

She is a mess...but she sure is a cute mess!

Playing with her stuffed bunny she got in her Easter basket and her color wonder markers that she loves! She loves to color on the "magic" paper and see the colors pop up! Oh the little things that entertain them!

Summer Time is Coming...and We Can't Wait!!!!!

I NEVER knew that the spring and summer could be so much fun with a little one. Robert and I have had the best time with Georgia Kate over the past several weekends. We pondered over what we should do for GK for her birthday realizing that she really didn't know what we were doing or why, but we still wanted to make it very special for her. She will see pictures one day! So...we decided that we would give her a water table and a slide. I have to say she LOVES both of them very much. Our sweet Aunt Piper, Uncle Daniel, Cooper, and Campbell gave us the pink and purple Cozy Coupe and I have to say this might be her favorite. I recommend it for any new walker. She LOVES it!!!! She also got a wagon. She loves to ride in it too! All of her outside toys have been a hit and we can't keep her in the house. She also had the chance to splish and splash in the pool this weekend. She had the best time ever this weekend! Hope you enjoy the pics!

A Few of my Favorite Things From GK's First Birthday Party!

Ok...so here is the big birthday party! These were a few of my favorite pics of all the decorations and preparing for the big party! I couldn't have done the party without all the help from my precious friends and family. Thanks to everyone who helped out and made it a special day for me and Georgia Kate!

These are two paintings that my father in law drew and my cousin painted. I thought they added an extra touch to the party!

I loved these balloons. The green wasn't the "perfect" color, but they were super cute!

I LOVE Styrofoam cups and had to have special ones for GK's first birthday.

And of course the napkins to match!

This was the main focus of the party! It was actually my favorite part. I love the poms!

Like I mentioned earlier, I love Styrofoam cups...so for the adults at the party we gave away cups! I had more adults than kids there. I actually didn't have a cute pic of the kids favor, but it was pretty cute. I gave a cupcake cookie cutter and a container of play dough!

The CAKE! I LOVED IT!!!!

Yea for poms I ordered off ETSY

The perfect cookies from none other than "Cookie Cousins".

The banner I made with my cricut!

I loved this party too...I did a picture from every month of GK's life. I put them in cute little green and pink tin cans that I found in the dollar section at Target!

The centerpieces for the tables

The smash cake!

This might be my favorite idea. I got the table cloth idea from a picture I had seen and then I decided to add the cupcake and the year. I plan on doing that around the bottom of the table cloth for all her birthdays. I will put the year and the theme of the party! Won't she love this when she gets older? I hope she does at least!
