K is one year old already! It is hard for me to believe.
First a little bit about the party:
We wanted to keep the meal simple, and I think we did.
We had:
Personal pizza's done on the grill,
Lemonade,
Ice cream,
and Cake.
Titus offered to fix the main food for me. Well, who am I to stand in his way! He did such a great job (like he always does) and had the toppings all prepared before hand. Everyone just had to assemble their own pizza and then wait till it was done on the grill.
They turned out delicious!
I mixed up the lemonade and forgot to add the sugar.
Open packets, add to water, add sugar, stir.
Easy right?
Nope.
The cake turned out good though.
It was (notice how I said was? We ate all of it
The ice cream was vanilla, and strawberry swirl.

K's smash cake.
Her big cake.
She got really excited when we started singing to her.
She kept looking around giggling.
Cake?
Yum! There was no question as to what she would do with her cake.
She dug in as soon as I put it in front of her.
K's newborn picture is behind her.
She has changed so much!
I love looking at the older pictures and being able to see the difference.
So much fun!
Focused on cake!
She is my little crumb maker.
Little K started walking ten days before her birthday.
She has also figured out how to get big brother in trouble.
If he comes close to her when she is in a bad mood, she starts shreiking like he has hurt her. It does make life very interesting. She does love him though, and looks for him if he isn't around.
Oh, and food, I cannot write this without mentioning how much she loves to eat! She can out eat T some days. Of course, I am never sure if she has more in her tummy than what is all over the floor, the high chair, under the high chair tray, the table, in her hair, and anywhere else that she can touch. She is messy, but she sure has fun!
A whole year ago I was scared, really scared that I wouldn't be able to be a good Mom to Two children, (especially with them being so close in age) but you know what, I made it! Were there hard times? You bet there were, but I did it with the help of God. Sure I wasn't perfect at it, but I love them more than I can even explain. Children are AWESOME! They truly are a gift from God.
In the past two years I have grown in so many ways. Sometimes I get discouraged at how far I have to go to be a great mom, then I realize how far I have come and I am amazed. I can't see how God would trust me with these innocent little lives, but he does and I sure don't want to let Him down.
These children are not just little cute accessories that I wear on my arm, they are human beings and I was given the job to prepare them to meet God.
Dear K,
I am so glad that God gave you to us. You have changed my life and made it better in so many ways. I want you to know that whatever happens I will always love you, and God will always love you. I don't understand how He could love you more than I do, but I just know He does. I will fail at showing you how much I love you at times, but it will never change the fact that I do love you. God on the other hand, will never fail in showing you His love.
Grow up little girl, grow up and serve Him, The One who created you and loves you more than you or I could ever imagine. I pray that you will grow up serving the One that loves you so much, and that you will never turn away from His love. He may ask you to do some hard things, but I can assure you that it will be good things.
God created you for a purpose! Go, and fulfill that purpose!
Your imperfect, loving Mother.
Here is the only picture that I got of K with the bib off, (don't look at it too long or you will go cross eyed) The focus is on the door behind us. :(
