The birthday party

Today we did Addy's first birthday party and after many nervous breakdowns from a very stressed mother the party happened and it was a lot of fun. Addy had a really good time I think.....she was a little show off during present time. I loved so much I could have cried but I held back the tears. Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family for coming and making the party a success.

So just now I tried uploading some pictures and it is not working so sorry. I really do want to post pictures I do I do. Oh well maybe later.

One of the best birthdays ever

Yesterday was mine and Addy's birthday. It was such a nice day. I had the day off so that was nice. Addy slept in which means I got to shower and get ready on my own...wonderful! Then we went to Tracy's house so she could take pictures of Addy. Addy wouldn't really smile much so that was a bummer but it was still fun to hang out for a little while. Then we went to lunch with my momma at the cafe that is in Nordstrom...it was really good I would go back for sure. I hung out with my parents and brother the rest of the afternoon until Shane got off work. Shane, Luke, Addy, and I went to dinner and then went and got dessert. After dropping Luke off at his mom's house we went home put Addy to bed and Shane and I sat around and talked until about midnight. I know to some it doesn't sound like that exciting of a day but it was just a perfect day for me. I got to spend the whole day with the people I care about most and really that is all I need to have a good day.

Oh how I wish

If I had lots of money I would shop at Anthropologie all the time, but I don't so I will just keep on wishing. I saw this outfit on their website today and I am in love! Sigh.

Melts I tell you melts!!!

You know what melts my heart......The way my adorable little girl gives hugs and kisses now! When I ask her for a kiss she will give me one and when she is excited to see me or when I get her out of the bath she gives me the biggest hugs! Love it love it love it! I seriously love being a mom...it is just so nice to know someone loves me that much.

Now you are probably asking yourself why are there no pictures of this adorable little girl....well I just got a new computer at home so I will post picture really soon. Maybe even this weekend if you're lucky. I know you will be waiting in anticipation. Anyways I will start being better about posting pictures so please just give me a second chance.

Have a great weekend and a great Martin Luther King Jr. day!!

another year

Well the holidays are over and I am relieved! Most may not know for the last month my kitchen has been torn apart because Shane was putting in a new floor. Well the floor is done and it looks awesome! So the holidays are over and my kitchen is all in one piece again and I feel like I can finally breath again and it feels wonderful. I think that 2010 is going to bring some new exciting adventures for the Thorntons and I am ready!

Addy turns 1 on the 27th and I turn 26 on the 27th! I am super excited to plan her birthday party I think that it will be a blast. I was making a list of everything I need to before the party though and boy do I have my work cut out for me but it is still going to be fun.

Folks this is going to be a good year I can just tell.
