Part 3 of Ry's birthday weekend

So, Sunday was the big day... my baby turned 1! It was kind of crazy to think back a year ago to what I was doing and where I was! We went to eat at Carrabas, rented Twilight, went to bed cause the movie was so stupid, and then woke up an hour later to my water breaking. I still remember Chasey telling me to pinch it off... like I was peeing and had control over it! I didnt know weather to be annoyed or laugh at it! The whole experience was unreal to me. I had carried this baby for 9 months, and suddenyl I was going to be able to see her! I was scared to death, and told Chasey that I wasnt ready, and I couldnt do it! The past year has been the best! I never thought I could love someone so much, and worry about them constantly! I still check on her two or three times during the night. I have learned ALOT from Rylee, and I can only hope she learns more then Beyonce songs from me!

We celebrated Ry's birthday on Sunday with just me Chase and Ry. It was nice to go to church and then just be lazy at the house. Most of my family was out of town this weekend, so we are doing her party on Saturday!

I had to post this picture... Chase and I were up until 2 in the morning setting everything out! I really love birthdays, and I really love to decorate!

This pic is out of order, but its when we went in her room in the morning when she first woke up.

We snuck in after she had gone to bed, and decorated her room! She LOVED it when she woke up and kept laughing at the balloons!
This was the first picture when we opened her door.
She is the cutest.

Opening gifts

Its my party and Ill cry if I want to.... Chasey wasnt handing the gifts to her fast enough. We would give her a present and she would quit crying.

Okay, so my SIL Katie is the best cook and can decorate cakes pretty good! I barrowed her giant cupcake mold to do Ry a cake. Let me just say that it turned out terrible. I needed Katie's help, but she was on a cruise. So, I was left alone to figure it out! Chase and I were laughing hystericaly at the finished project. It looked like I had put mold and mustard on it with pink polka dots! Oh man it was bad. Good thing someone else is making her cake for her party!

I guess she got sick of picking at the cake with her fingers, cause she picked it up and started eating it!

Grandma Jen and Great Grandma Jones called to sing Happy Birthday to Ry. This was her face when they started singing.

Despite the burnt part Ry loved her first birthday cake!

We went to GG's that night.

Ry in her birthday outfit. They are supposed to be capris, but since she is a little squirt, they are more like pants.

Grandma gave her a dollar and a locket to wear on her baptism day.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture.

It looks like me when I was little. I played with those exact same toys on that exact same kitchen floor !

She was so tired by the end of the day! This is the only picture we got with GG.

100% ready for bed that night!

It was such fun day with just our little family of 3!
