Happy 1st Birthday Oliver!!

My other nephew turned 1!! 

Being an Aunt is SO amazing!! I've never been such a part of any kids life like I am with my nephews.  It's a privilege and so exciting!! And it's only going to get better from here!  My sisters have thrown amazing 1st birthday's for my nephews and it's been so much fun capturing them with my camera.  Oliver's birthday party was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme!! It was adorable and I wish I could have covered it better, but being pregnant and how hot it was, this was the best I could do.  I'm happy with it, but I wish I could have done more.  Can't wait for my own kid to be born so I can get back to normal!!  Enjoy the following!! And Happy 1st Birthday Oliver!!!

Love,

Auntie B

Customized bottles of water, silverware, goodie bags and bubbles!

The punch in this photo was a life saver.  There was a terrible storm where the party was the day before and there was no AC anywhere, but there was ice cream in this punch and it was soooooo refreshing!

These are my weird brothers...

 

 This is one of my favorites.  It was his party and he could cry if he wanted!!!

but Mickey Mouse cheered him right up! 

 This is the most common expression on my brother's face

 

My dad made Oliver's smash cake.  He used to make our cakes growing up and can do basically any character!

 

 He was a little skeptical for like 2 seconds and then dove right in!!

 This is my number one favorite!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

A New Living room!!!

I just wanted to post the rearrangement my husband and I did (with the help of my parents) this past weekend! 

We needed our living room arranged differently with our baby on the way.  We needed it more opened and baby equipment friendly.  This is the last our house will be baby item free.  The swing is already out and everything else is put away just waiting for the arrival of our little one.  And I was so happy that I accidentally got a picture with ALL my animal children!! I didn't even bother trying to get them out of the room because they like to be where all the excitement is.  

I'm excited to have a new work station too! While I'm on my maternity leave, I'll be doing as many personal projects as possible to keep you guys interested!! Please stay tuned and when I have my own little one to have as a guinea pig, I will definitely be posting a LOT of photos of her!!

Enjoy!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the FredWes Mom's

My pastor asked me to bring my camera to church on Mother's Day to take pictures of all the mom's with their kids and grandkids.  I happily obliged!

These moms are some of the most amazing people I've met and I love them all dearly.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy 1st Birthday Clive!!!

I am about to post 19 gazillion photos from my nephew's 1st birthday party!! It was so much fun, but I am such a bias Aunt, there's going to be WAY more than I would normally post. 

I can't believe that a year ago, this little boy was born.  He's a miracle baby, that's for sure. My sister did a dinosaur theme since when you say "RAWR" to him, he laughs really hard.  Sometimes, it's the only thing that will make him happy!

 He's so proud that he can do this now (walk behind his dinosaur).  Only a couple weeks ago, he couldn't

Exciting Family News Revealed!

I went to go visit my brother and his wife Amy back in March to do what I could to help them move into their new home in North Carolina and they had WONDERFUL news!! They are expecting baby #2 this October!! As I believe that all children are precious gifts from God and each are a miracle, this is amazing news! I'm excited to become an Aunt for a third time right after I become a mom for the first time! Below are their pregnancy announcements and their fun gender reveal!! Congrats Steve, Amy and Oliver!
