Cate is ONE!

I cannot believe that my precious little girl is one year old! Gosh, time really does fly! I remember when I was pregnant with Cate and people would tell me to "Enjoy it, it goes by so fast," I would get so sad. But It really is true. I always pray that I stop and enjoy Cate every single step of the way!! She is the biggest blessing that God has ever blessed Ryan and I with! My heart overflows with love for her!

Her birthday party really was a labor of love! I had so much fun planning everything and making her birthday amazing! I'm glad I have a million pictures because I know Cate will not remember:) I had the book, "If You Give a Cate a Cupcake," there for people to sign and part of what my Me Ma wrote was:) "You party was the best first birthday party I have ever been to. Too bad you will never remember it!!" Hahahah! Crack me up!!

I have a million pictures and details to share with you guys and a 12 month update on Cate and will do it all this week! I have a lot of free time now:) Thank you for all the birthday wishes and encouragement on twitter and my previous post!! You guys are the best:)

Here are two pictures from her party!!




Happy Sunday Friends:)
