It's a....baby!


Our ultrasound was this Wednesday, and we made it through the appointment without finding out the gender! It wasn't too tough these past few weeks leading up to the appointment, but right before I got called back, I saw another couple smiling from ear to ear after finding out what they were having. THAT made my heart flutter and wish we were finding out...just a little bit. Of course Scott had to ask the ultrasound tech if SHE knew what we were having...she said she was "pretty sure". Scott has his own opinion based on the viewing, but I don't think either of us can be sure AT ALL! So we will be surprised in November/December when our little one arrives. 

The best news of the day...confirmation that Landen is WRONG! There are NOT two babies in mommy's belly! Whew.

"You Are My Sunshine" - Landen's 2nd Birthday

Landen's 2nd birthday is tomorrow, but her "Sunshine" birthday party was held today. The only reason I'm able to compose this post tonight is because she went to bed over an hour early. Call it poor party timing by me, but after all the party excitement from the afternoon naptime was a bust. We had one very tired birthday girl on our hands, and she was in bed by 7pm. I'm just hoping this doesn't mean an extra-early wake up call tomorrow.
I'll share some pictures from the big day. As you've read, our theme was "You Are My Sunshine". I've been envisioning a YELLOW birthday theme for almost a year now and it worked out perfectly. :)

Happy Birthday banner...
A delicious cake from Baked to Perfection.


Love some fresh flowers.
Yellow candy party favors - along with some yellow toys depending on age/gender.  :)
Some of Landen's Instagrams from this year along with some sunshine-y decor.
"Yellow" snacks (popcorn & goldfish)...
A little flair for the birthday girl's chair.
Hayes and Landen enjoying the "sunshine".
 Blowing out her birthday candles (I can't believe she's two!)
 LOVING her birthday cake and ice cream. (She's been talking about her chocolate birthday cake for a month.)
 Enjoying some of her birthday gifts...



Landen got so many great, fun gifts that I'm sure she will LOVE! More importantly, she got to spend the afternoon with all of her favorite people in one place. Of course it was a wonderful day, but I'm totally exhausted. I'll post some images from our photoshoots later this week. :)
