Birthday Month



This month is Jayna and I's birthday month! Almost two years ago she surprised me and came into this world on my Birthday. I love sharing my birthday with her! It has made the 14th that much more special for me. I know in the future she may not like the idea of sharing her birthday with her Mom, but I am willing to give mine up. After all I love to host and plan for parties! So as long as I can plan a party for her I am happy and that can be my birthday present. So I think it will work out well for both of us.

For our present this year the husband got us family pictures. This will be the first professional photo session we have done as a family. Crazy to think about since I have always been really into photography. We have not yet taken them and I have been searching for a photographer that will not charge and arm and a leg, but edits pictures in the style I like. I think I have found one, so hopefully by the end of the month I can show you pictures and do a post on the photographer.

Next year Jayna will be 3 and I will be 30. This will be the only time our birthday ages will match up number wise, so I am planning on celebrating big. I want to have a 3 ring circus theme and go all out. The weather here in Utah during March is still sketchy, but I am really wanting to do it outside. I have already started researching what I want to do and will most likely spend the next year planning it. Unfortunately we will not be having a big party this year since we had our Hip Hop party last year. The husband has put a party limit on things to keep us girls in check. I think it may end up back-firing on him though, because it makes me want to do even more the next year. Here are some fun inspirations I have found so far for next years party.

  5. Alexis: Nice to hear from you. Those were cute pictures of your party. Glad you like the blog. I have to do an update post about what I wrote in this post. I am lame and didn't know how old I was. My Mom had to call me and tell me that I am only 28 this year which means I will not be 30 when Jayna is 3. lol Both good news and bad news. So now I have to decide if I still want to do that theme. (I probably will). Thanks for the reference offer, but I am living in Utah and it looks like you are in CA (I think). Chat with you later.
