Aubree is ONE!

The past three days have been absolute nonstop, but they have been nothing but fun :] We had two parties for Aubree's birthday. We had to end up having two because we had to invite everyone and their mothers lol. We really didn't want the wedding drama again. So anywho, on Saturday we had my family, Manuel's brothers and my friends over and on Sunday we had Manuel's mom side and his friends. Both days were stressful but a lot of fun. Aubree really seemed to enjoy herself :] I will post up pictures in another blog. For some reason, this site only lets me upload pictures on certain blogs.

Anywho, on Monday (Aubree's actual birthday) we took Aubree to Disneyland. My mom, Manuel, Aubree and I went. We had a blast! It was so much fun :] Going to Disneyland is always fun, but it is truly a different experience when it is with your baby... We got to Disney around 10, but we parked in the Downtown Disney lot, because we wanted to buy the parking pass for our passes... We didn't know that you could get reimbursed for your parking.... So it was an hour before we actually got into the park. Once we were inside we were having a blast! We went on Dumbo, Buzz Lightyear, Snow White, Mr Toad's Wild Adventure and the Carousel. In between rides, Aubree ran around the park saying "Cheese" so we could take her picture. It was the absolute best time ever!

I can't believe that my baby is a year! The time flew by. I feel like I just has her! I feel sad and at the same time excited because there are so many new things to come! She is SO incredibly smart and such a happy girl :] She learns so quickly! I forgot to tell you that she is starting to use silverware! I know, right? The daycare provider has started to show her how to use a fork... OMG, she is just growing up WAY too fast... I'm going to blink and she will be 16 asking me for the keys to the car :[

We want to give thanks to everyone who showed up and for all of your wonderful gifts! Expect to see your Thank You notes in the mail :]

Where did all the time go?

We are getting down to the deadline now... I can't believe that our baby girl is going to be a year! Where did all the time go?? We are busy as ever trying to do all the last minute cleaning and preparing for the parties on Saturday and Sunday and then Disneyland on Monday. It's hard to get things done while Aubree is awake, but when she goes down we are working our tooshies off!

Aubree is so independent these days. She is talking more than ever too! Before I know it, I'm going to blink and she is going to be graduating from high school! I know that sounds dramatic but time is seriously going way too fast!

This past weekend we celebrated Hannah's birthday with the family and on Sunday put together goody bags for Aubree's parties.

Life has been really good :]

Preparing

I'm sorry for not writing to you all lately to let you know how things are going. Manuel, Aubree and I have been so busy preparing for her 1st birthday party that I haven't had a chance to even jot down what's been going on with us! The guest list for the party was actually so big we had to split it up into two parties and so I have been stressed to the max trying to get everything together and practically perfect :] I hope that you all got your invites and don't forget to RSVP to let us know you will be there :] Hopefully after next weekend I will be able to fill you in better :]
