Your first birthday Party

By -

Your first Birthday party, they say that first birthdays are the most overwhelming, but they must not throw as many parties as I have in my lifetime, your party wasn't stressful but fun... and a lot of people came from near and far to celebrate you and we thank God you're loved by so many!




You started walking around 10 months, so by your birthday you were practically running. Your bama made your outfit; it originally started with a little boy's onesie swith suspenders on it, and about 6 hour later of rhinestone placement and sewing of the skirt and sequins, paired with leggings and red slippers, your outfit was complete. Your friend Isla's mom made your bow. It was a Dumbo Bow custom made and there isn't one anywhere else in the world like it. We're so thankful for her. 
 (You'll notice yoga mats on the floor because there were so many small babies invited to your party and the floor of the clubhouse was tile, so we had to make a compromise for safety and the decision was yoga mats)



















Your guest list was exclusive and smaller than any other party your dad and I have hosted. Let's be honest our headcount starts at 48 traditionally, not max's out at that number. Family, Friends, and their kids all came to celebrate & have a good time. We served sandwiches, picnic salads & fruit. You enjoy sandwiches so it's an easy go to for you. We even served Pea Butter sandwiches for your friends who don't eat meat. Everyone loved the food and snacks. Your Mimi & Papa bought your cake. Whipped buttercream and vanilla cake and a pastel rainbow of cupcakes. 
































The best unintentional decision we made was taking pictures of everyone at Audrey's 1st birthday next to her highchair while she ate cake. This not only captured some great photos, but helped me looking back at the cute pictures of her and her cake and how every picture it gets smaller and smaller. The only time she cried was when we took the cake plate away. It was so fun and adorable! We had to give her a sink bath after this cake disaster, and she didn't get sick afterwards but did take a perfect nap. 

This was quite the feat getting pictures of all of these kiddos. Again, I'm happy we took this too. 









Your party was as fun as you were baby girl, Love you so much.

    The birthday girl is looking so adorable in these pictures. And it is really a wonderful party that you have put together. Loved the amazing decorations and food arrangements. My daughter also celebrated her 2nd birthday a few days ago, and we had an awesome party for the occasion at the popular LA venue.

Your ninth birthday

  Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. You are hilarious, beautiful, witty, intelligent, and passionate. You are so much fun. Today you’re 9 years old. A coworker stopped me and said, “I’m so happy you’ll spend the day with her tomorrow because when she’s 18, she won’t want to spend her whole birthday with you.” And that’s so true. I’ll have to share my time. This is your last single-digit birthday. You lost a tooth this week, and it wasn’t even a big conversation. You just lost it. When it comes to looks, Utah gave you freckles—they’re all over. Your eyes are still a hazy green, and your golden locks are growing browner by the day. You still have beautiful streaks of blonde, and I love them. You’re very tall but still in a booster seat. Maybe you’ll outgrow it by 10. I’m proud of you for letting me keep you safe. You started 3rd grade at an incredibly conservative Christian school that didn’t require anyone to follow biblical values except you—so we left. You joined your first charter school, ...

Your 2nd Birthday

  Bryer boy, Bryer boy. I cannot believe you are two. I will never forget the night I went into labor with you. I went to the hospital around 10 or 11 o’clock at night on the 23rd. I remember thinking, I can’t believe he’s doing this to me. Your dad said you could come any day, and of course, you chose a day that will forever confuse me when it comes to your birthday and your actual birth date. But that’s just like you, full of surprises. And in these last 365 days, you’ve continued to surprise me in the best ways. I’m not shocked one bit. You are everything I didn’t know I needed, and someone I absolutely adore. You are completely obsessed with both of your parents. Audrey? That love is a little more conditional, but you love your whole family big: extended, chosen, and blood-related. You love to play and will play with anyone willing to join you. You spent most of the year reading books. Your favorite was Penelope on the Farm, a hand-me-down from your cousins Nick and Rylee. You ...

Your eighth birthday

  Audrey Kaydence. Today you are 8 years old. Holy cow kid. You made it to 8. Time goes faster than what I would deem appropriate but all in all you have had quite some LIFE in your years. Let’s recap the last year shall we?  You switched schools in February, which was a challenging decision, but a good one you were at a much smaller school now with a much smaller network of friends and it is healthier for you.  Your blonde hair is still blonde and your eyes are still this gray blue green. They change all the time primarily gray and green sometimes blue and green still very light still very curly. You have more freckles now than you ever have before and I am admiring watching your face with glasses as I know that contacts are coming soon to help with your myopia. You will always be my baby. I am excited to watch you grow up. You got to go to your first concert this year it almost became your entire personality. You have been a Taylor Swift fan since you were about two yea...
