MiaJolie is 1!

Boo hoo I officially have no more babies...MiaJolie is a TODDLER! Well, we celebrated anyway and had a good time doing it. My mom, dad, and brother, Cameron drove over 1,500 miles from Michigan for it- and we had a lot of other great family come to her party too. It was our last 'big' birthday party since we usually only invite extended family for their first birthdays. I had a LOT of fun making a girly party- pink and purple cakes & balloons, hearts and star sprinkles...have a look for yourself!

In the morning we went swimming as a family at the aquatic center- she enjoyed watching the kids but was super annoyed she couldn't crawl in the water without drowning.

Kyson doing his 'angry' face. Woah, right?

This is the present Mia received from her loving Uncle Cam- she has SO much fun in it!

Here she is at her party opening gifts- she pretty much had the hang of it after learning at Christmas, but like all 1 year olds she didn't care about new presents once she had opened the first couple!

She loves to ride on her car from Grandma Carolyn!

The Seaman cousins gave her this stroller- she loves it! Here she is trying to figure out how to push both things at once...multi-tasking already!

This is us singing to her- the thumb sucking began because she was getting pretty tired by now. She was so dainty with her cake we didn't even take a pic because there was NO mess. She just stuck her tiny fingers into the frosting and licked them.

Happy girl getting a ride from her awesome big brother!

Here is her smash cake- confetti with pink homemade butter cream frosting and heart sprinkles!

Purple and PINK!

Here is her 'official' cake that we served at the party- same ingredients. The cupcake was SUPER yummy and moist because I froze it the night before and let it thaw during the day. (A secret Ty's mom taught me!)

Here are her balloons- I don't know why but we started getting them balloons to have when they woke up on their birthdays. She was really freaked out by them at first but the fear gradually faded to complete apathy- oh well they were cute!

Here's the party! I think we counted 27 guests. Thanks everyone, for making her day so special!

Awe, sibling hugs! He is my "little" brother :)

Here is the family minus my other brother, Garrett (stayed in MI for work).

And here are 4 generations of women on my mom's side- we took the same pic when she was born!
