Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice...

...that's what my girls are made of!!! We celebrated Ashley's 1st Birthday on Memorial Day weekend. HOLY MOLEY, could it really be that Ashley is 1!! I can still remember the Memorial Day Parade last year, going into labor, and having her just shortly thereafter.
We had a big party for her at my parents and it was a HUGE success. We were SO nervous about the weather cause it was really supposed to pour rain. The no rain dances paid off cause we didn't get hit with anything!!!! Ashley seemed to have a great time and it was just so nice spending the day with everyone and sharing out little snappy snap's 1st birthday. It's amazing to see how loved she is and we are so thankful for that.
SO, just a little warning, we all know that I am queen of the friggin pics, I take a TON. This is my baby book, so I want to document it all! Every part of it. I worked hard and so did Ry and my parents (Thank you all!). So I want the ging to be able to see these pics one day and see how much we did for her and how cute it all was.
Here are her pics, months 1-11 (since she wasn't a year yet). They were all hung up. We did a shabby chic color scheme, soft aqua, yellow and pink. Was originally planning on a buttons and bows theme but we kinda just did a little of everything once the invite was put together.


The food table. I totally focus more on the desserts than the actual food.



The Cipot fam a lam. Ava was all dressed in her cami's. Shell looks friggin awesome after having the baby!

Tony helping Ash smack the lanterns around.

Me and my ging

It's her party and she can have a s'more pop if she wants...even if the party hasn't even started!!

And she thoroughly enjoyed it. I was praying and crossing every finger to be sure she didn't get it on her shirt! You'll see why when you see exactly how friggin cute it is!

Auntie Char was babyless (both girls were sleeping in the car) so she cuddled Ash for a bit.

Nona was even here. Meeting Ava and she was able to be at the party! She was a huge help and it was so nice spending time with her and having her at Ashley's 1st party!

Gracie arrived and was ready to party in her stunners.

We did a little arts and crafts (cause how can I not?!). I had the kids paint pots, than we planted a flower in them! It was a huge success.

The kids loved it.

Kel was helping Gracie plant her flower.

Little Miss Ava had her face all done up! Mimi got her a makeup kit and she did it like a pro! Pretty little mama.

Planting flowers.

Than Mya and Ava watered their flowers.

Ry iced her cake and did an amazing job!!!! He's my very own Martha Stewart!


Time for cake and this girl loved every second of it! It was absolutely adorable. She was watching everyone, looking around and smiling up a storm!

Playing the harmonica dancing around like wackos!

She's walking now, at her party though, she was still in the stepping stage. Took quite a few steps here!

I love when she starts making noises and you put your finger to her mouth and make it sound all funny. She actually likes it too, funny!

Ry, Poppy and Ash, PASSED OUT!

Joey is passed out too.

And just a little while later, so was daddy! It was a long, fun day!

Thanks to everyone who helped make her 1st birthday so extra special. She is one loved little peach! Love you all so much. xoxo
