Lily's First Birthday

Our baby girl turned one this week! We had two birthday celebrations.
First birthday celebration started out with a day with Mommy and Daddy at the Accentra Match Play Golf Tournament. We made a poster for lily that said 'today is my 1st birthday' and got autographs from Martin Kimer, Ernie Els, Grem McDowel and a couple other golfers who I don't know. BUT, they were all very nice. Funny story: I had the poster out for Grem Mcdowel to sign and Mark held lily next to me. Grem read the sign out loud, then looked at me and said 'there is no way this is your first birthday', it was funny and just shows that even though they are celebrities, they are still willing to have fun. We had a great time outside in the sunshine. Funny cause the next day it snowed.


 



 
Then we went to Guadalajara Grill and celebrated with family. Lily had her first cupcake and she loved it! It was a fun day.





 
 
Today, we had Lily's second celebration. It was a 'Candyland theme' so we tried to make all the food look like candy. It turned out very cute, even though I suck at time management and did not give myself enough time to finish everything...oh well. I made a sprinkle rainbow cake that turned out pretty awesome, and was so fun to make! We had some friends come and family, overall it was a lot of fun and a great memory for all of us, even Lily.

She did not like the cupcake. lol




But Amma liked it!




 
I cannot believe my princess is one. She is such a beautiful and precious girl, such a blessing to us. I live for lily, she is my everything and can't wait to celebrate more birthday's with her.

One Year Photos

Yesterday Lily and I went to Trail Dust town here in Tucson to take her one year photographs. Initially I wanted them professionally taken, but hopefully they will be more special to her because I took them (probably won't be, but I like to think so.)
She had lots of fun running around on the grass, picking up leaves and meeting new little friends. It was such a beautiful day, we need to go outside more often.
Anyways, here is a little preview on the photos I am working on. Some of my favorites, but I love all of them.


I love my happy little girl! She is so much fun


Cute story behind this: Lily is very friendly, so she sees this girl and runs to grab her and play. The little girl shied away from Lily but then walked over to Lily and stretched out her hand to walk with her. Come to find out, this little girl is named Lily too! Two Lily's walking hand in hand...to cute!

My curly headed stinker!



Totally Lily

She was trying to chase her own shadow.

She was mesmerized by this Indian
