Jack's Balloon Party

Mr. Jack is turning 1! The Well's family will be moving in a couple of weeks for Seattle so I drove down to the beehive state this weekend for my last hurrah and to celebrate Jack's Birthday. I helped my sister put on a low-key Balloon (Jack's favorite) themed party.

I thought it turned out great! Unfortunately I was having too much fun during the actual party to take pictures of the guests and the birthday boy haha. So, What do you think?

The Daybook Blogger Meet Up!

My old classmate Sydney put on a super cute party for local bloggers this last weekend in Rexburg! It was so fun to see her again but it was also great to meet other bloggers from around this area.

Lots of yummy treats- like mini cupcakes from the Coca Bean!

I went with my friend Dawn who likes to blog too. We're kind of nerds :)

Most importantly, I made handmade business cards for the event!

I printed them off at home and hand sewed different ribbon on them.

I'm really happy with how they turned out! What do you think?

Kage's Birthdays

ok ok I think my subconscious kicked in after my ranting earlier on how I'm not going to worry about blogging anymore... because I keep finding my camera when I want to take a picture and I keep having spare time to blog- 2 things that NEVER happen. lucky you!

Kage (my adorable nephew) turned THREE this past friday! To celebrate Jesse and I took Journee and Kage to the Zoo in Idaho Falls on thursday! It was SO fun! The Zoo was cute and small but I was impressed at some of the animals they had- 2 HUGE lions for instance. We got to pet and feed goats- which was my favorite part- Journee was honestly giggling her brains out and Kage couldn't figure out if he was afraid of them or if he liked them too. I did however forget my camera on this trip but I borrowed Rachel's camera so hopefully she will post some pix ;)

The next day we were back in Idaho Falls for Kage's family birthday party. He got a mountain of gifts- including a baseball tee, a bat, and wiffle balls- which I think was his favorite! Happy birthday Kage!

ok he doesn't look very excited in this picture but I think we did a good job on his gift this year! after the Zoo trip we let the kids play around in the gift shop and watch what Kage would play with- then Jesse took them out to the car while I bought this cool thing. its like a gun but the top is a head of an alligator and when you pull the trigger it opens and closes his mouth- WAY COOL! Kage seemed pretty happy with it.

Rachel is SO good at making birthday cakes! She makes these super cute creative ones every year for the kids and I am always so amazed!

Kage is OBSESSED with Football! so of course she had to make a football cake. SO cute!
