The morning of Tate’s birthday party, Noelle told Anna Kate, "We’re going to see your boyfriend today, sweet baby girl." Mike and I were cracking up!
These were my favorite favorite pics from the weekend birthday in East Texas!
Noelle seriously said, "Let Tate’s First Birthday Begin!" and blew the trumpet!
The Kelly family! 🙂
Anna Kate and Tate!
Elizabeth did such a fun job decorating Tate’s Cinco de Mayo party!
Cake, presents, and more outdoor fun!
Thanks Bill and Delaine for having us – your back yard is so much FUN!!!
To start off every road trip we have to listen to Taylor Swift’s "You Belong With Me," otherwise known as "The Phone Song" in our family. Noelle always sings like she’s talking on the phone because the lyrics say “you’re on the phone”… lol…
Noelle calls this her "Caroline" outfit, because after meeting Caroline, she had to get the "match outfit!"
Noelle drew these two pictures on 4/29. She even wrote her name all by herself on her self-portrait. She brought them to me and said, "I drew pictures of me and Anna Kate, Mom." When I saw them, I said, "Wow, Noelle, these are really cool!!!" Honestly, she draws better than me already! No joke!
This is my wedding dress, cut down and made into a baby dedication dress. Rara and Poppa did this for me when I got pregnant with Noelle, and it has become a family treasure, so sentimental and pure. To think, my baby girls are wearing the exact dress I wore when I vowed to love their daddy forever and ever… melts my heart!
Noelle couldn’t be more excited and can’t wait to show all of you her new "big girl bed" in person!
We just planted lots of spring flowers in our flower beds. When they really start blooming, I’ll take lots of pics to show you (crossing my fingers)… this was one that I cut to put in a vase next to my kitchen sink. This pic was another surprise I found on my camera, love Mike. Thanks for taking pics that I don’t think of… you’re super creative and that’s cool!
One of Noelle’s favorite places in our house: our closet, my scarf drawer!
