Jayla's Birthday Party and Book

The girls together at the birthday party!

Kyan kept himself busy at the party playing croquet with the other older kiddos!

Love Jayla's birthday girl face in this one!

Daddy decided to give Lola a chocolate covered pretzel. When she started to get it all over his clothes, he made me take it away! Needless to say, Lola was very upset!


This is the book that I made for Jayla from Lola, it may not be meaningful right now to her or Lola, but one day I hope that they can both look back on it and smile and appreciate their friendship! I was crying as I was making it, crying when I was finished making it, crying when Susie opened it for Jayla! Not only was it a book for Jay, it was a book for Susie and some of the quotes are meant just as much for her as they are for Jay.

You see, Susie has always been "Chad's friend", she was always the girl that got to hang with the boys that I was always jealous of, that I could not hang out with them, but she could! Don't get me wrong, she has been my friend too, but I would just say a friend. Throughout our pregnancies together and our daughters growing up this first year, I feel like they have brought us so much closer together and I can trust Susie with anything! So yes, this book is for you too Sue, thank you for being a best friend to me! I feel like you are "my friend" now, not the other way around. I value our friendship and I hope that one day our girls will be able to do the same thing!

Ahhh Jenni did you have to make me cry AGAIN! ;)
Seriously this was the sweetest present ever. I wish I could be half as creative as you. I better start working on Lo's present for birthday #2. You are a best friend to me too!! I have always loved you! Then I loved you even more when you became Chad's wife. And now I love you indefinitely thanks to our girls. You are such an amazing person. I am very lucky to have you in my life. We have two very lucky girls too, they just don't know it yet ;)
~~on to that face of Lo's, the chocolate mess, LMAO!!~~ Greatest picture ever! Our girls are drama for sure!
